Nice wow, we need 1000 more of those in the central area! Looks like it’ll blend into the neighbourhood well too.

Yeah it's a very nice design. It's been awhile since I looked at the drawings (and I don't have access to them anymore), but I recall the layout is as follows:

Basement: 1 apartment + common room
Main Floor: 2 apartments
Second Floor: 2 apartments

I believe all the apartments were 2-bedrooms. The common room was the size of a full 2-bedroom apartment, but I'm guessing the developer was only allowed 5 apartments, not 6. The design could very easily fit 6 x 2-bedroom apartments if the common room was removed.

Looks like some more work has been done on the Rainbow Centre's LGBT seniors home on Broadway. Seems like it had stalled out for a couple weeks after tons of work I've the summer. Project will look good there. The rest of West Broadway needs to start filling up too imo.

I walk by this project everyday and there have been workers on-site everyday. Some of the work is just less visually noticeable than other work. It looks like the project is going fairly well.

Awesome thanks for the pics!

I really like how it was built to the sidewalk. Tightens up the street wall.

Construction/demo fencing up around one of the houses that's part of the next Paragon project on the west side Sherbrook between Westminster and Sara. Nice to see a steady progression of projects on that strip.

Awesome! Love to see it in the neighbourhood. I hope development can spread East and some of the decrepit buildings can be redeveloped.

Anyone have more info on this project? I see nothing on the Paragon website and can't find any variances in the City Council meeting minutes.

Only thing I could find was this webpage and public engagement presentation:

That nine story would be some nice height, especially since it's close to the hospital. Obviously it won't be pretty, it's Paragon, but at least they're actively building up.

it was mentioned in some good depth earlier this year.. owing to its use of those wonderful juliet balconies amongst other exciting design innovations.

The Sherbrook one looks like it was always there. Well done!

Yeah I really like it, it's a nice design. Plus it's mixed-use and mixed-income. Great project all-around!

Pretty scathing opinion article in the Freep. Not unfounded either. The sooner a bulldozer knocks over this hive of villainy, the better. Especially that pawn shop, which drives a shit ton of the property crime that holds back West Broadway's potential as a vibrant neighbourhood on par with OV or Wolseley.

Some of the siding is now visible at 545 Broadway. There's been workers there doing the interior all winter. The building must be getting close to finished now.
