The neighbourhood is a bit odd - while this would replace some single homes, the adjacent properties are all light industrial (transport, storage, etc). That entire wedge between Ira Needles and Trussler is a bit of an orphan of road planning, in a way.

Such a weird location for a high density development, but I guess we're past the point where all towers/skyscrapers will be built in the cores. They'll be springing up all over the region going forward.

Hopefully we get the same result at Victoria and Park should the developer decide to take it the the Land Tribunal. I feel like there should be some sort of penalty to cities that reject proposals that are then approved by the OLB. Not sure how that would work, but this project was just delayed by a year unnecessarily. Now each unit will cost that much more to build, which ultimately will be passed on to the person occupying the unit.

Still a win for the NIMBYs. Less poor people in their neighborhood.
