Website: fairfieldrise.ca - but no online yet.
Fairfield at Arnold.
That strange looking law office has been torn down already, and I would say excavation will begin soon. It must have already had the zoning for it because I don't remember seeing any rezoning sign.
3 story townhomes.
The rendering looks hideous. Will take pics.

The rendering makes it look similar to the new mixed use on Fairfield @ Irving.

Prices from mid-400s.
Website is fairfieldrise.com, not .ca. Takes you to some dude's personal website. My guess is these guys aren't too experienced.

Dwayne Peleshaty has been in the development business for some time. Mostly up-Island.

Seems like a pretty big boxy structure for the neighbourhood.

This one really makes me nervous. It's going to stick out like crazy with it being on a tiny lot surrounded by single family. It better have a quality exterior finishing. But its shape isn't very promising.
There's a lot of very modern buildings going up in the area, and I think that's great. But modern looks just terrible if it's put together cheaply.

I guess its uninspired boxy design is the thing that's really troubling me.
I looks like a shoe box with wings and the rendering online isn't reassuring either. Love the marker for the roof.

From what it looks like, it might be brick and cedar, which could look good, I guess.

Can somebody explain to me the purpose of a Juliet balcony on a suburban buildng? Or even in general?
This building is another missed opportunity.

My guess is that those are full balconies. It's just the 2D that gives the impression of a Juliet Balcony.
No, it's the top floor balconies and how they contrast the ones on the other floor that suggests to me that those ones are Juliets.

I'll bet you a case of Lucky.
I'd say you're on, but I assume the mods would get pissed at us for gambling for booze in a public thread.

It's also too bad that the development is going right next door to the Ross Bay Villa, which the Land Conservancy has been fixing up for years and years and is finally nearly done with.
Its new neighbor should be of high quality, not something uninspired.
Well, maybe the drawing is worse than the result?
