Oh I looked at Google Streetview, I now know where it was. Again, I just breezed by that little patch of asphalt. Never even occurred to me there was anything else there. (And I don't drink coffee anyway.)

They're growths, not appendages.

Then the new owners did a terrible job, but that's sort of a separate issue.

That Sbux saved me during Covid. It was the only one near downtown with a drive thru. All the others were closed.

Not a fan of Deville. Every time I have tried a coffee from them at Telus Skye, it has the distinct under-extracted sour flavour.

The "For Lease" sign is down on Julio's Barrio. Maybe something is finally moving into the building. Although maybe the lease sign was just plastered over by the development advertisement.

Yeah, I think we'll be waiting a while for that space to have something in it. The rental units in the building are going out to make way for larger condo units. The renderings also make it look like that commercial space is being completely revamped too.

That looks pretty good! I'm not sure of the business case, but I wish more aged buildings would get revamped like that.
Looking at the developers portfolio, not going to hold my breath that the finished product turns out as nice as the renderings.

Interesting, I didn't know that was the scope of this project. I've saw some work going on this winter and some demolition happening. Based on the rendering it seems like missed opportunity to develop some sort of elevated patio space on that corner because it is such an optimal unobstructed southern exposure. In theory it should be a prime hangout spot for patio drinks in the summer.

Or... it could be an unobstructed southern exposure, with great views of the river and DT that is usable, $-producing square feet for the entire year...
