^No surprise. Market isn't calling for that many condos I imagine right now.

Well I guess their percentage of units sold just went up lol. Maybe this means shovels sooner. Do they maybe have commercial/industrial projects on the go, or have they been quiet since fox? If so, I’m sure there ready to get going.

Sad news. Just a great street for taller towers. But understable. And if this can secure their financing to begin, awesome!

I wonder if this will help kick this project:

Sad that there's a height reduction, but I'm never a fan of Langham design/choice of materials anyways. So that might be a good thing if it's going to be that tall with a mediocre design. To me at least.

One of the best things our government can do coming out of this pandemic is spend wisely on infrastructure. Or to provide incentives like this to spur it on. Labor is cheaper when more people are unemployed. Crime is lower when you avoid a recession, I.e. cheaper.
Accross the country we should be investing in infrastructure right now. Not to mention the benefits of disruptive construction during a time when roads are less busy.
I hope the city goes faster with valley west the next few years because of this!

I hope this change helps move things ahead. Filling in some of these parking lots would really help improve the area.
I also wonder if the new proposed city grant program has projects like this in mind. It is a good idea and I do hope it helps spur things along as intended.

I am actually happier with this revised height.

If anything, this adds some density in that area.

Because it has a better chance of starting construction sooner and the mediocre design won't be as prominent in the skyline?

All of the above.
We need more 4-25 storeys versus a few more 35-45.
If this gets us even another tower or phase two.

I'm very happy with this revision. This style of condos can't be permitted to protrude so precipitously.
Description: To construct interior / exterior alterations (reducing the # of Storeys from 38 to 29, reducing the # of Dwellings from 304 to 240, and reducing the # of underground parking levels from 7 to 5) to an Apartment House / General Retail Store building (Falcon Tower One)

If it means wiping out a terrible surface parking lot and allowing 104 Street south of Jasper to get some life then I am game.

Langham's built form is good at 30ish floors and below. I'm not against stucco, but it could have beeen done so much better than what they have done. In all honestly, I'm so relieved they decided with this direction.
