Vines are actually pretty damaging to houses.

The vines work their way into cracks and crevices and can destroy the walls they are attached to.

I haven't been in that part of town for at least a half year so the last time I saw the site it was more or less a hole in the ground.

Wellingtown Cres side looks very impressive.

They were supposed to do a 2-storey, with residential above. Sherbrook needs a secondary plan so developers have to meet guidelines. That building is not only too low but looks like it was cloned from the DNA of St. Vital strip mall.
I'm waiting to hear back from someone at Winpark about the design. I'm coming at it from the POV of a "concerned neighbour". I'm sure they'll listen to every word *ahem*

Another step in the wrong direction. Can't say I'm surprised, given Dorchester's involvement.

I assume the credit crunch claims another victim?

Let's hope that with this sacrifice the God's of Commerce will be satisfied.

We desperately need this kind of redevelopment to take place.

I think his tenant fell through.

I'm sure the building was cheap enough that he likely paid cash.
