Kudos to the effort they're putting into that space. That unit has been a tough spot to get something sustainable there for a while. The former restaurant and wine bar concept didn't last long. And it sat empty for a long time before that.
It's bad architecture IMO. But at this early stage of the planning process, I think there's room for improvement and change. Especially if they bring on a developer to help realize this vision. Otherwise, it's a positive sign to see development happen at this far tail end to the overall...

The existing building:
The precon sales market has been rough the past ~18 months or so. Remington will likely continue to hold off on launching this for at least the medium term until there's a positive shift in the market sentiment.
Looks pretty solid. The kind of housing typology I'd like to see more of along predominately residential streets like Shaw.
Modcity also have plans to replicate more or less the same design of a multiplex building in their portfolio scattered throughout different parts of the city. And that is...
