Thats why I think it is the bmo parking lot. A&M does a lot of mixed-use multi-tower projects. I am guessing the McKinley Burkart proposal we saw a few months ago was the one that lost out to A&M's proposal.

I am like 80% sure it is the BMO parking lot. I have no knowledge, just a hunch

I know youre responsing to the comment on developing the land, but I want to reiterate maintaining the stampede midway and changing stampede Park from a desolate parking crater into a nice park are not mutually exclusive ideas

HOLY SHIT WHAT Allies and Morrison is one of the best multifamily architects on the freaking planet there is no way we're getting a project from them

Good thing we're getting rid of rezoning 😮‍💨

Seton is a total lost cause. I just try to pretend it doesn't exist

Yeah it's an issue of population density. Right now there isn't the population density required to fill even the streets we already have in the area. It will take a long time before we achieve a population density that can fill them, let alone fill the streets AND an underground concourse

I mean, never say never. vibrancy takes time, and it must be cultivated. Residential of a sufficient density is the core building block of a vibrant neighbourhood, so yes it needs to happen and it's absolutely possible in this instance. From the last masterplan we have seen that is still the...

What's replacing it is really nothing special...

This might be an odd question, but did anyone happen to get video footage of any part of the demolition?

Because parking should be removed from the stampede grounds

I am frankly terrified of what is going to come out of that process because I have very little faith that the people in charge have the ambition necessary. I don't know them, but that's just my feeling based on the way things typically go in the city. There is immense potential for stampede...

It would be cool if there was a way to repurpose some of the saddledome but I would understand if that weren't possible. All I am advocating for is whatever is put in its place has a roof that is saddledome shaped.

And then put a new lightweight canopy roof on top that is saddledome shaped. It's such a no brainer I will keep harping on it every time this gets brought up

Huh. It's still garbage but it's now passable garbage. It's a miracle.
