Yeah a bit, and while remaining critical of the suburban office development schemes generally, at least Quarry Park is still very much within a major city - your example is one of those ex-urban Severance-style office complexes must be next to impossible to repurpose or lease again!

Bit of a slow week it seems but this application just came in for south side of 24 AV NW near Crowchild Tr. Architect is MODA. 61 units. I think it's kind of cool.

If these proposals for 24th get built, it would be quite a nice little urban corridor.

Triovest (The developer behind Stephen Avenue Quarter) has applied for a land use on the site next to Keynote, which is going to CPC on Thursday. They are asking for 8.0 FAR; 12.0 FAR with bonusing.

On a site like that, 12.0 FAR would put it quite tall. For reference, Stampede Station is applying for 19.5 FAR and has two towers.

So today is the day.

New development for Mount Pleasant. On the corner of 5th Street and 23rd Ave, where the affordable housing project was proposed a few years ago.

Saying two commercial units and 22 homes

Would require work to accomodate multiple users, with the central meeting and food complex.

Some work, but with the buildings connected by only a small area, it should be relatively easy to break the buildings up.

Is Imperial completely vacating the premises or will there be a small workforce remaining, and if so, how much space would they need to retain?

My only picture from working in the IOL campus back in the day. That tornado did touch down and I believe damaged some buildings sw of Calgary.

Not a beauty by any means but decent density, and the CRUs are a big win.
