From the Feb WT Board Meeting CEO Report:
300 Commissioners Street Storage Facility
Blair Martin, President of Belleterre Real Estate Partners, presented the project for a self-storage facility to serve the Film Studio Precinct.Panel comments included the need for better design of the windowless west wall, simplification of the entry plaza space to better reflect its urban, industrial environment, and reconciling the apparent conflict between the proposed structural system and the in tended architectural appearance of the building. The Panel voted unanimously in conditional support of the project, pending resolution of the issues raised. The project is expected to return to the Panel for the Schematic Design Stage when it is ready.
