Bramm Yards Master Plan
#9
No way we'd get something like that here haha. We struggle to fill the existing office and commercial spaces downtown, so much so that an entire office tower was handed over to Conestoga College to turn into student housing. We're not a global city so you're not going to see massive mixed used projects like that in or by this city.

I'd expect them to design something with more low to midrise...something similar to the Dublin Docklands with a few 4-6 floor buildings, open space for people to use, maybe a small amount of retail or something. Not really a destination, just a place to work. They're obviously not aiming to build a massive mixed use space with skyscrapers and stuff.

A master plan doesn't mean much anyway, it just gives a vague idea of something. What actually gets built would depend heavily on what the city can afford and has the will power to do...which would probably very mediocre.
