Keep in mind that this will be residences for blind people so anything that requires vision will probably not be allowed. E-gaming venue, bowling alley, hair and nail salons etc. will probably never happen. On the other hand, a pharmacy and eye clinic have a good chance in happening.

A portion of them will be but not the majority from my understanding.

That said, I like the idea of tenants catering to those with visual impairment.

A karaoke bar would be nice. Maybe a nice, sensorial restaurant...

Visually-impaired people would be OK at a hardware store, right?
I'm thinking more along the lines of a Home Hardware than a Home Despot or a Crappy Tire.

main involvement of CNIB will be office space won’t it?
I agree that it wouldn’t hurt to have accessibility in mind for ALL units though

 

[David A]

I think we need a subway, Starbucks, liquor store, cannabis store, and a payday loan. That should fill the podium.

... maybe plus a Shoppers Drug Mart and a 7-11 also. That about completes our downtown repertoire.

I'll be honest I am a bit disappointed with the exterior of this project. Seems they have gutted just about every element which made the original renderings interesting and original. Not sure how it will turn out.

The exterior completed todate is the final installed product. It won't get any better.

 

[archited]

They haven't wrapped the balconies as per the renderings -- so your prejudgement is just that -- a little early. There is still a fair ways to go.

How it's turning out, don't hate it, don't love it...so far.
