Then when a developer does add colour, so often they design it as if they're making a lego building and don't have enough of the same colour of bricks. See: Stadium Plaza, & East Junction.
God only knows why we can't just commit to a single colour and be proud of it. There's nothing wrong with making a big red firehall, or a bold yellow house!

The design lacks in both colour and interesting shapes. Look at some quick examples I pulled off Google.
Not even saying it needs to have housing above (but would make sense towards the goals of blatchford), but look at the more interesting brick and shapes.

Arson?
I can't help but feel like something fishy is going on here.
How does the office portion just randomly burst into flames in the middle of the night?
Vagrants do hang around that area

I don't know who the owner is, but I suspect there are insurance claims and tax write-offs involved.
You know, the usual things when a historical building is hit by arson.

Sounds like it may have been Hangar 39 at 12009 121 St NW, not hangar 11.

Yes, go big. What I dislike is when people try to add these little accent colours, as if it must be done in very small doses and then they mix in several different colours that don't all match and are oddly placed in random spots.

Interesting stuff! I wonder how close this is to the eventual reality of the sewer heat exchange as that has been put until closer to 2030 now I believe. Not sure how people will feel about that odour smoke stack...A neat page on the district energy plans.

Design Work was ongoing as of last Aug so we could be close. I can't remember when they said they were going to tender.

New roads to the NE paved. Not quite connected to train. Landmark homes don’t seem to be selling well.
