It's essentially another branch bank...just what we need. I am so sick of development style in WR and RP . This is just west of where I grew up and my parents still live in the area closer to western.....
I have not seen a render but i'd bet 10,000 that it is autocentric crap.
OT...but the lots on western near peterson...the old CJ ames and ZFrank lots on both sides of western could be developed into nice density near transit.....but I doubt it will happen we'll probably see craptastic shit like the new Walgreens at Granville and Western....
The part of western looks like the west side right now.. I get that there has been a systemic shock to the part of western given the the car dealerships moving after some 75 years or whatever of being there so adjustment takes some time.....
but this is a once in a 2 or 3 generation moment that could change the character of that part of WR for the better but the soporific leadership of O'Connor abd Silverstein (formerly Stone) will almost assure a worst case outcome......
...ahhh the future of my old neighborhood is I think dire.
