Here's an exciting development - the old convent site downtown, behind New York Style Pizza - an application has been submitted to the City for building a big strata complex there.
They have some good ideas for this one. There's an enclosed dog park and a kids' playground (with views) out back, plus a common area that includes an outdoor work bar above the street, a social lounge and outdoor dining space. There's even going to be a space for some community gardening. There are two buildings, one 6 storeys high and one 7 storeys. The taller building will have a common area on the rooftop, perfect for watching the fireworks I'm sure.
This development is planned to include 197 residential units, a commercial retail unit and and a shared underground
