The renderings look like barracks, but sounds sensible to demolish the old industrial buildings on the site. The way the new apartment buildings create an enclosed extension of the KK River Trail looks like a nice stretch for a hike or a bike ride.
The motivation and intentions are in the right place. I agree with the previous post about the “barracks” appearance and want to note the terrible landscaping and lack of taller trees. Why is there plain green grass along the sidewalk? It’ll never be used by a human – put some meadow/prairie style greenery there and fill the space with nature and not a useless mono-culture.
Is there any plans to add solar or renewables to this plan? Looks like a great opportunity to add some on the roofs and over the surface lots. How about a bike garage? A Bubblr hub?
“barracks”? You mean like what everything built in the past 20 years looks like? That’s just the style now. If you want a McMansion go move out of the city.
