Had coffee with someone from the consultant team about this project; we should see the other phases going forward.

One tower has such a huge impact already, two more will be quite the sight! Imagine this project but in the Quarters instead

Lolz.. Stop trying to make the quarters happen. That part of town is at least two more rebrands away from seeing any serious development action, there's still a decade or two of infill to be done in far more desirable central areas.

Like this site! The tower is really starting to get noticeable in the neighborhood now, and the full 3 tower complex full of people is exactly what struggling post-covid whyte retail needs.

Now, when does hat in the warehouse district start??

Lol there already is a Hat in the Quarters that they’re still aggressively trying to rent out. I don’t think they’re going back there anytime soon.

I will applaud someone who puts three more Hats in the Quarters ! The difference is people will actually want to live on Whyte Ave right now...

Wait what?! "Aggressively trying to rent out after what?" 8 years ago that building opened.....

Would be a never ending effort in such a location

Wasn't Hat already fully close to leasing out already? Even on Rentfaster there doesn't seem to be many units available.

Yes, people actually do want to live in this area, probably the biggest limitation is not too much has been built around here and a lot of the buildings are getting older.

This is nice and new and will help extend the commercial/residential area from being a narrow strip of a block or so into a two or three block area.

I actually don’t know, I’m just going off of the big “now renting” banners that were still up on the building when I drove by last week

Bad pic. But I was surprised how visible this was from Strathcona High School
