I'm looking at the document and I'm confused about one thing: is the car wash staying and dividing this development in two?
Edit: no longer confused, the car wash is not included.
Also, the heritage building seems to be around 6,000 square feet.
I was at the development application meeting and the owner of the car wash was there and said he wanted to hold out and sell it for more down the road one day. I wonder if he's regretting that now, given the inconvenience of the construction next door, then tower number two will go up after that...
That lot in Chinatown is 25ft wide and they are doing 9 floors 40 units. So could someone not eventually doing something like that on a lot twice as wide. Personally I am glad it's staying. I find it painfully monotonous when a whole block is developed at once.
This one is growing very fast. I think I counted them working already on the 12th floor as I drove by today. The building starts to be visible from several directions now. Too bad the architecture is nothing to admire.
For the amount of spandrel used Opsal looks suprisingly good. Darker spandrel looks much better than light or white spandrel imo. Chancellor is another good example.

Spandrel is so plain jane. Why not try some silk screen or etched designs on these pretty large empty spaces. Even a simple design would add some much needed visual interest.
