that's a beautiful parking lot.

 

not a great time for parking lot revenue though.  should pick up in spring though.

They cleaned that up faster than I usually put my laundry away.

The developers of 933/935 Convent Place (5 storeys, 19 rental units) have filed a rezoning application on Dev Tracker; plans and a letter from the architect are included?

Anyone have any rumour updates on potential redevelopment of Floyd's, Ageless Living, and/or Ming's? I just want a glimmer of hope that I won't have to look at these fenced up buildings for years to come.

 

Workers are finally gutting the inside of Floyd's so it's possible we could see demolition soon. 

 

The Ming's site has a border of river rock and a permanent fence (not construction fencing) around it so I assume they're thinking medium-term parking or car storage.

Oof, that detailing. Love the spindles. They didn't skimp on character.

That looks so incredibly similar to the townhouse project on the west side of Shelbourne between Kings and Haultain.

Looks like the same architectural firm, Zebra.

These projects are starting to look quite similar to each other, at first glance.

Nice design, though.

I swear I've seen the exact same townhouses in South Surrey and Langley.

I tend to agree. As far as repetitious building forms go, this design is quite palatable. Still, I wouldn't want to see it repeated on every similar sized lot in the CRD.

Just 4 units and they are each between 1250-1300 square feet.  :1954_dancing:

It's 1326 Pandora, not Fernwood. This is currently an empty lot that I often wonder about when I walk by.

Some lot consolidation probably would have made sense here.
