Exactly the kind of density we need all over the city. Glad to see these becoming popular build types.

Hopefully the City can approve this in record speed. Need more of the missing middle

At least they're hiding the drive-thru with a garage door now lol. Nice density, just needs to go all brick.

Simple, but not too bad. Would be cool to see some of these mid rise developments be a little more interesting like they are in other cities, but I think they're less liked here. So they have to go simple. First is a mid rise in Halifax, and second and third are missing middle multi-plexes. All of these have a bit of architectural interest or weirdness.

The city: "The last render had too much colour - MAKE THE COLOURS MORE BLAND! We only accept beige and greys!"
I also see theyve removed all real brick and opted for pattern stamped painted concrete.. WE know how that looks when it's ACTUALLY built..

The city doesn't mandate the design. Even the design review panel is kind of a sham, it has no real power. We don't mandate materials or colours normally in North America.
In other news the CoA voted to defer this one.

Hamilton lives in a 1920s pac man-like cartoon world of black and white and greys lol
