Pinegrove Plaza Redevelopment (Oakville, 4s, Common Ground Architecture)

[Memph]

This is a redevelopment of a small shopping plaza in an older suburban part of Oakville. The ground floor would be retail, with residential above and an atrium going E-W across the length of the building. The 4th floor would have loft style units. There would be a total of 50 units.

The architecture looks like it would be similar to many of the other recent developments in Downtown Oakville, but for some reason, it looks like they'll be keeping the building behind the parking lot and just adding floors above, instead of building a new building next to the street. It looks like there will be little remaining of the original building so I'm not sure why they're doing it like that...

Renderings... for some reason one of the renderings shows only 3 floors but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 4 and the second rendering is the one they're planning to build.

Supposedly the parking lot at the front will be made nicer with landscaping and such, but I'm still surprised they're building housing on top of a stripmall.
