General Construction Updates

That is a Bow City storgae that is going in on that corner, 4 stories.

When I Googled that project I found this article:

Wilmington Sells Calgary Land Parcels, Scraps Seton Project - Connect CRE Canada

Wilmington Capital has sold the Bow City Lands in southeast Calgary for about $9.1 million after scrapping its Seton multi-use project.

Is the project proceeding under new ownership? The elevator cores are newer so something is still going on I think.

On the top of the cores you can see a few guys working so they're definitely building something

Yes, it is proceeding under the new ownership. The photo included in that article is of their location by crowchild, the one going up in Seotn is a different design.

Thanks for the info. Can you share the design for Seton? Is it also still mixed use like the article described the original project?

 

[Surrealplaces]

That's the perfect place for a storage building.

If I recall correctly, the land use requires that it be mixed use (ie through CRU's at grade)

 

[Cyric]

Can't share the design but I can say that the storage building going up has 2 CRU's on on the ground floor on the southwest corner of the building. There is a phase 2 development on the southside of that property that is currently planned as single story CRUs that would add another 6-8 to the lot. The east side of the property is planned as the car storage mentioned in the article but is not part of the current construction.

With all of the condos it would be in high demand.

Those townhomes look like they could be a modular build.

They are definitely modular. I saw them all lined up like oilfield camp trailers about a week ago and they looked like they had just been unloaded from trucks off the road. I was not sure what they were for until I saw this update! With a mobile crane rented for a day they would have just picked them up and placed them on their piles pretty quick! Interesting that this technique is being utilized in permanent housing construction now.

Lots of stuff in Seton going on, not even counting all the cookie cutter 4 story condos further south. Here are some updates:

You can actually see their staging area for those modular units in this photo from @O-tac . This photo is looking South from the Hospital and you can see the white wrapped modular units just south of the Blue/White/Red condo in the empty lot there. So I guess they drop them all off there, then move them over to the site to install when the crane is ready to put them in place.

I’m not sure if those are for that project as that lot is a block south of their lot on the other side of the Fire station on Seton Dr. I have wondered what those are for though. Will have to take a closer look. They might have said Brookfield on them. This project is by Avalon.

I really like the experimentation with modules! We have the attainable project going up downtown soon too, which I guess will be the largest use of modules (or at least the largest since ALT Hotel).

 

[O-tac]

I actually spoke with someone at Avalon earlier today and confirmed that they are the builder. Sounds like the mixed use building which will include their office will be a later phase. They’ve also done Zen in Seton.
