Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

[ac3r]

Maybe I'm just imagining things, but do those 4 residential towers have an unusually small footprint? Square footage wise, they look barely bigger than a single unit inside the mall!

I didn't even notice them at first.  I like that though.  And if they are a small footprint, that's not a bad thing.  There a lot of really bulky towers around Waterloo Region.  Some thin ones aren't a bad thing.

At present, the 4 towers have only preliminary planning gone into them. They'd be something that comes well after the primary development is done. I can't say whether or not 4 will ever be built, but it's hoped that with the development and LRT that something will be - and they'll certainly have a small footprint.

I mean.... wouldn't they just bury it, as they did the previous pylons?

I suppose they could, it seems like quite the duplicated effort.

It would definitely be buried when Stage 2 gets constructed, although that is a long way off. CF will certainly want it gone themselves.
