It's going to be darkly funny when the market rate infill all gets built way before the high concept, baroque subsidized buildings along the square proper (on city owned land) get developed. Will be very similar to the SWC in that way.

Nubian square could definitely building something of height… is there any appetite for it here? What ever happened to that one proposal that was tall? Developer was called a joke at the time
 
Basically everything going up in Nubian is the limited amount of market development they allow --- Taber St, the Harrison Infill, etc. Between gifting city owned parcels to screwball nonprofit development schemes that won't pencil and mistreating the market rate developers, even if they're locals, they keep Nubian from growing. The latter is what happened to the Guscott/Rio Grande proposal.
