The Sky is being proposed by Richcraft and will be a trio of towers with a combined 1,120 units including commercial space and public plaza, there could even be a hotel. The development will need the backing of the full council. Richcraft has committed $3.4 million for the council to spend on community projects in the neighbourhood if the development goes ahead.
