I'm always glad to see projects like this built, anything is better than an empty lot and this will be great for the area. And there are some way worse looking projects, but damn that's a rough use of the brick accents...

I thought the brick accents were going to look good based on the renders...but not so. The depth of the brick portions looks so odd

Remember when dozens, if not hundreds of residents said that this would be the end of their neighbourhood?

I wish they had used the same quantity of brick to just make the bottom ~3 floors entirely brick and leave the rest stucco

They're still speaking about the end times when it comes to the mid-rise behind it that's gonna be built (I forgot what the project is called). Hopefully the new zoning bylaw will lessen the amount that this happens, reserving the flack for larger projects and developers who can take it.

On another note, this project along with Lister Hall right across the street is making this corner of the U of A feel quite dense and I like it. Very nice project

The problem with this building (similar to the problem with the View on the north side) is the disturbing misalignment of "structural" elements in a vertical array that relegates materials to "wallpaper" applications. It is one thing to purposefully challenge architectural norms for an artistic "statement", but when it happens randomly it just smells of ineptitude. This design missed the mark by a mile and sadly, without changing the massing form, it could have been so much better. It is still possible to make the change but I doubt the developer is vested in spending more cash on this one.

The fight to get a building of even this size was just insane.

It is. I heard they have about 20 units leased and the corner cru space has been leased to a coffee shop

Awesome pic @Edmcowboy11 - I absolutely love the street level design with the large glass, earthier tones and overhead lighting. Feels very urban and alive even with empty CRUs. Shame the rest of the building looks worse every time I see it.

I believe this is the square 1 location

This is also what I heard last time I was at the new Square 1 spot on 111 Avenue in the Creative Hive.
