I believe Harrison was sold in January per this article: https://ca.fierarealestate.com/headlines/fiera-real-estates-core-fund-expands-with-acquisition-in-calgarys-vibrant-marda-loop-neighbourhood/

Dobbin Consulting is one of the major landlords for commercial space in Kensington, despite the name. Perhaps they're acting as both developer and consultant?

I walked past it this afternoon and had to do a double take when I noticed the opening windows, when it didn't look like they had changed anything.

No... It's in my head too. And I have a craving for beef and cheddar curly fries and no way to fulfill it!

I was hoping for a marginally larger development with ground floor retail, but oh well.

Not ideal but better than "ending" 17th Ave.

Pretty much no chance. It'll be too steep to drive on for most of the year unless they either cut across the slope like Sarcee or a massive cut through like Stoney.

Sunterra is under bankruptcy protection right now. I think... they will keep operating and just shed some unprofitable businesses and former bond holders will own it going forward.

It would be nice if they could replace the structure of their building, but I suspect it's likely not that simple. Manifolds, tubing, etc. are probably running on the interior walls, and messing with them at pressure would be somewhat dangerous. They could always build a nicer building shell...

They're rebuilding the backup power generator on top of the building. I'd assume a bunch of mechanical and electrical work for that is currently ongoing.

Looks pretty good. Hope they keep the minimal surface parking.

It's not a direct connection to 9th Ave but you can take 8th St via 8th Ave. That being said, I do agree with your points.

I hope they get their event traffic figured out. Also maybe some good City of Calgary bus routes to it to deal with the crush of vehicles.

These looked complete when I was at the brewery back last fall. Taking a long time to complete the finishing touches I guess.

Ironic, Brookfield spent years trying to re-waterproof that garden to stop leaks into the parkade, finally gets it done a few years ago, and then promptly removes it now.
