Here we go!! First the design review idiots chopped off the only three bedroom apartments off the top two floors that are scarce in the downtown, and now the eight floor version is being attacked by NIMBYS. Anyone see this coming?!!
I think this will die on the fly. No permit has been issued so we'll not see this go.
Like I said, cruise ships come in there that are much larger than this building. No complaint on that!. Now its parking!! Make a parking lot would be a better choice! Maybe someone will make a song about that!

It's a shame it got cut down, but at least somethings likely being built! Same can't be said for a lot of other projects in town. I think the brick on the first 3 levels should help tie it into it's surroundings pretty well. In the future this area should feel quite dense and definitely lively! I wish the port/founders hall area were a bit better connected to Queen via Water St. Between Queen and Great George is amazing, however I feel the area between Great George and Prince on Water could use some redevelopment. Several surface lots and larger single family homes with no real architectual or historical value that I think could go. Some new, dense development designed to fit into the area could go a long way!

There's talk of a Marshall's in Charlottetown. Truro has one, I can't see why it wouldn't be in Charlottetown. We have a Homesense. The three are owned by the same company, TJX.

I can see it being that the current Winners will be converted into a Marshalls after the new Winners store opens. Marshalls is the same as Winners but has a larger shoe department, "The Cube" (juniors' department), and a slightly higher-end, more curated, or sportier selection. Like you mentioned, all three banners are owned by TJX.

I think something has to be done to stop these people. It’s getting ridiculous, developers are going to give up all together if this doesn’t stop. Anything over 4 floors and the complaints roll in, it’s going to become unaffordable for developers to build because they won’t make back their investments.

In addition to the Winners , I also just saw a management position posted for Firehouse subs in Summerside. So another addition coming.

APM application to change the zoning for this property:

The Planning & Heritage Department encourages Planning Board to recommend to Council to approve the request to proceed to public consultation concerning proposed rezoning of unaddressed property identified as PID# 390534 with frontage on Towers Road from the Comprehensive Development Area (CDA) Zone to the Shopping Centre Commercial.

So this to make way for a 60,450sq ft. commercial development and for a "foodpad" drivethru development.

Hilton Hotel update:

It's starting to come together!

583 North River Rd - Habbi Apartment

I always thought an 8 storey would have been better here. We can build 6 storey hotels, but our apartments are four storey stubbies! We are allowed up to 8, and 10+ with approval. Here's the latest on this build. Personally, I thought the facade would be darker.

Urban Residences Update

Floor six has started and the build is starting to show its size on Great George.

Buildings L and K were supposed to be 51 units each. From the look of what they’re building, the shape of the buildings have changed.
