Yes, that one is under construction but has been dumbed down quite a bit from the original renders.

The height and designs are fine, I just have trouble wrapping my head that there would be SO MUCH demand for apartment living in Orleans. Even if there were, I would've much preferred they try to create a liveable/walkable downtown Orleans with retail & services nearby vs. these random towers in a park project next to the 417.

I'm of the camp of. Get people there first, and the demand will justify the supply. personally I'm in my late 20's. i just want a place to stay, the amenities and walkable luxuries can come after I've moved in. be it 5-10 years down the road. it's the same story with the LRT and TOD. chicken and egg, cat and mouse. we just need someone to bite first.

I've been living in Orleans for 15 years. South of Innes road is where new developments, businesses and schools are popping up. It would have make more sense to build the LRT nearby but more expensive. Old Orléans (St. Joseph) is having a tough time. The Stations near Place d'Orléans looks like it may give a new life to this area. The Devapp project is indeed massive and there others too. I guess we'll have to see.

honestly i preferred the RLA design but the new one is okay and its good to see that this one has retail in it

I also preferred the RLA design, which I'm sure is a sentence none of us through we would ever utter. That RLA design I would have thought would have been cheaper to build because it's more consistent.

Still, it's not bad. reminds me of Brigil's "The Dale" (which is interesting, a non Brigil project that is not Brigil near a real Brigil). I like all the retail, but still no space for a grocery store. Hoping someone builds the pedestrian bridge in the near future.

A non RLA, NEUF designed non Brigil project beside a NEUF designed Brigil project that reminds you of a RLA designed Brigil project!
