A five-building commercial development in the Ponds neighbourhood is moving forward.

Council approved a development permit for the project at 940-1030 Frost Road, between Gordon Drive and Steele Road.

The buildings will provide approximately 36,000 square feet of commercial space.

Phase one of the project, approved by council in 2022 and currently under construction, includes a grocery store and drug store.

Coun. Charlie Hodge said he felt the project lacked creativity given all the buildings had flat roofs, while Coun. Gord Lovegrove said he would like to see large canopy trees as part of the landscaping plan.

Staff told council the applicant needed to strike a balance between required parking and landscaping.

Lovegrove also pointed out there were no covered entrances on the buildings.

香蕉视频直播淚t seems to be the second development permit we香蕉视频直播檝e seen where the covered entrance is not the flavour of the week when it comes to architectural design,香蕉视频直播� he added.

Coun. Luke Stack said he felt the developer has done an excellent job with the development.

香蕉视频直播淚 think this mall is long overdue for the Upper Mission and I think people will be excited to see this come to fruition.香蕉视频直播�
