There's a fair bit of commercial space available in the village right now.

In addition to the CRUs in the newly-built buildings (Zu and Osborne Terraces), I think there are 3 CRUs available in the old Kiss/City FM building. And, there's probably 8+ other currently vacant CRUs, not counting upper floor commercial units: Former A&W, Shakti, Starbucks, Take Care, Toyko Smoke, Watson Workshop, Willow).

I'm honestly not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I took a walk around the neighbourhood tonight, tons of people out. The bikes lanes are getting lots of use too. Honestly the main issue with Osborne Village is just that Osborne St itself — because there is so much traffic and the sidewalks are so narrow. The rest of the neighbourhood is doing pretty well. Here are some construction updates from around the neighbourhood.

This project has the Sandman/Sutton syndrome happening. They have like two guys building the foundation for a 16 storey building. I see them working on it every day, but most times it seems like one worker.

Friends in other cities tell me they see similar things happening where they live. I assume (except for the big players like T.O. and Vancouver) there's a country-wide crunch when it comes to available construction workers?

Honestly hate that the tallest tower closest to our most visible rapid transit station looks like a prison.

pegster · #**4737** Posted **May 30, 2025, 4:10 PM**

It's a small thing, but Roslyn Square is getting all new windows and it sure makes a difference to that lovely building.

If only we can do something about the blighted commercial landscape around it

Yup this is about as bleak and soulless as it can get for a residential building. And I actually think the south side not pictured here is even worse from what I remember (mostly blank wall)

It’s too bad Carrington didn’t get ahold of this site, I’d much rather see their black and white cookie cutter buildings here. Even the Baydo towers from Sask would be a huge improvement

neutroniks · #**4739** Posted **May 30, 2025, 5:16 PM**

If they built that condo that's going in at the corner of Old Tuxedo, would be perfect for this rapid transit station. smh

This building makes me cry. It belongs in an industrial park. I don't buy into this whole "it's better than nothing" narrative. You know what's better than nothing? Nothing. Leave that spot vacant until someone has the vision to build something remotely attractive. This design is objectively a complete and utter POS.
