That is about as standard as a staircase gets. Looks completely normal to me.

There will be a block wall between the two stairwells.

It’s an extremely common configuration as you can fit both your staircases in the space of 1 staircase. And yes, it meets code.

There called scissor stairs and are very common. You just don't notice them in a building once the wall between them are built.

Guess it's no different than having a single staircase down to the basement..

Ew.

Ugh these freaking pointless giant setbacks.

mattgrande · #28 Posted **May 16, 2021, 2:27 PM**

Surface parking, and a huge setback, a block away from King Street. Pretty disappointing.

Now at 5 floors.

Not pretty, but certainly fast.

Update from Kiwanis

Chronamut · #34 Posted **May 31, 2022, 10:09 PM**

wellll it's as ugly as we all expected it to be..

I actually think it looks like it's turning out quite well. Lets wait for it to be finished first, but it has brick and decent aluminum paneling. Far better than CityHousing's new building out by the Red Hill

Kiwanis is reporting occupancy will begin in October. They shared some nice views from one of the tallest buildings in the neighbourhood:

Not bad! Looks better than I expected to be honest
