They are setting up some sort of a dome tent structure in the park behind Underwood / Union Square, anyone know what that is about?

Seems likely, thanks!

The new Wolfe Cadillac dealership at the corner of Old Banff Coach road and 101 street is almost done construction. Are they closing down their downtown dealership after that? Similar to downtown metro Ford which closed down because they moved to a new location.

Those houses along 15 Avenue and 2 street SW have started coming down..View attachment 508029

I guess I’m happy that this is getting built, but it’s so effing annoying that some nice old buildings have to come down when there are plenty of empty lots all over the place that could be developed.

At least they're developing the land instead of it ending up as yet another parking lot

Interesting they chose here versus TAZA. All that's left west of 14th now is the Merc and Stellantis dealerships. Wonder how long they last...

… and we abandoned the pool and built some giant new pools in the suburbs, so one side will have a dirt lot

… and we condemned the mall, so the other side will have an even bigger dirt lot!

We are building on the great success of the Westbrook Transit Oriented Dirt Lot!

Fenced off gas station at SW corner of MacLeod and 75th Ave. Refurb or total redevelopment?

 

[badc0ffee]

Hmm, I guess it's probably just a new car wash: https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2023-00624

Also, demolition happening at the NW corner of Macleod and 50th Ave. The adult video store is still standing for now, but the building to the south is gone.

I used to love going to the model train shop that was in that building back when I was a kid. Is there a new development planned for that location?
