Well, if they want to build an ugly building on their own property, so be it. It won't help them win tenants, unless a needle-exchange is proposed.

City's zoning map says CA-1 Pandora Avenue Special Commercial district (with special restrictions?)
Basically a list of commercial uses, commercial/residential where ground floor is not residential, and allows building height up to 15.5m, 51ft.
I dunno what type of retail this area is craving that the developers of this building think they can fill the space with. Very UN-ambitious.

Not sure if we've seen this image before:
Unit 1 - 1110 Johnson St - Retail Space for Lease/Rent in Victoria

^I think that shot's a preview of the upcoming season premier of "The Walking Dead". "Rick, I've finished boarding up the barn! We should be safe from those walkers."

Aastra, I love that Photoshop. That's D'Ambrosio's design, isn't it?

The plan is to put up the ugliest building in Victoria? Surely something more interesting could go there.

This proposal may be the worst use of available land we've seen in many years. I truly hope it does NOT proceed.

See this is where people should be going out there way to get a 10 storey building built...

The sign for this building on that lot isn't there anymore.

^ Sure hope they've scrapped this ugly plan.

[G-Man]

Or they are prepping for building...
