Construction permit has been issued for this project. It's listed as 6 stories / 36 units / $5.5 million. It also confirms the address as 2440 Agricola Street.

This is now called THE CAMP and is being built by flexbuild.co.

Looks like it will be wood construction for the upper floors.

It'd probably be in bad taste to make cracks about CAMPfires. I wonder, with sprinklers and perhaps other modern fire supression techniques in the build, if wood constrctuion is considered as safe from fire as concrete construction.

Why does "The Camp" seem like a strange name for an apartment building to me?

Uh well, I've never seen a concrete and steel 'camp', so maybe wood is appropriate...

This is probably unfair, but seeing the wooden stick-built walls does not inspire confidence that this will be a quality development. But I know it is now being done, as in the development on Tacoma Dr. in Dartmouth. But it just makes me feel dubious.

The entire Velo on Gottingen is done this way. 1 level of concrete, with concrete fire break + 4 storeys of wood construction on top. It makes it more complicated in regard to fire code, but assume there are enough cost savings to make it worthwhile.

It is. These wood frame buildings do have a period during construction where they can be dangerous (look up the helicopter rescue video from Kingston, Ontario), but once fire suppression is in place they are just as safe.

Truth is, the furniture you will put into the apartment will be the most flammable part of the building, and smoke from burning furniture is ultimately what will be the most hazardous in most fire situations.

I've heard that a wood structure with the right sprinklering is safer than a concrete structure without.

I still cannot get past the awful name for this thing. Who could have possibly thought that was a good idea?

Not to be insensitive, but it sounds to me like a facility for the homeless.

It's pretty on the nose given that an increasing number of people are forced to camp in the city.
