Time for some Guelph threads!
This site fronts on two thoroughfare around downtown, mainly Wellington (a typical stroad, out of character and scale to the quaint streets around the general area, hopefully this will see a road-diet in the future, or at least before i'm struck by someone!)
There is not a lot of precedent in the area which will make this stand out, but the scale is only about 5 stories taller than intended in the city's masterplan for this parcel. This will still likely be a sticking point and may end up dropping a few stories.
This development features some decently scaled retail units, along with some ground floor live/work. Hopefully this leads the trend for a more human scale along this stretch.
These renders are a little grimy, but they are usable. Brick patterned precast and window wall noted in the materials.
