So when demo is done. What do we know they will be doing? They plan on building the tower in the SW corner first? Convert the office building to residential on SE corner? Any more than that?

Isn’t this along 12ave/6 st?

Scroll up the page. Installing crane in January.

Or since January… projects coming along quickly

Could some of the office conversions be turned into social housing? Mustard Seed has built or converted a few buildings and they seem successful. Might be a start if a thousand units are converted this way. Not all homeless are drug users

A few said don’t build it. Just look before my original comment. That’s the reason I wrote my comment. Besides superficial treatments on the outside of the building there’s not much wrong with this building. It provides “cheaper” rentals than most of the high end stuff getting built. To me...

When the experts on this page say not to build something because they don’t like the design then IMHO they are the same as NIMBY’s. We need stuff built and it all doesn’t have to be perfect.

Downtown and rail side of the Beltline have lots of new builds going on right now. There probably 1/2 dozen new builds going right now plus the 20+ conversions. On top of all the new stuff soon to start in the pipeline. We’ll never be Vancouver or Toronto because unlike those cities we have...

Stoney is mostly done. They should expand the NE section though. Being only 2 lanes for a good chunk of it. One more thru lane and on and off lanes should be added from Airport Tr to Metis

Deerfoot will never be complete. Much of the work on these projects are the bare minimum. So more could have been done. A

It would be a huge resurfacing project if they do the part that’s nearing completion in the North. The work in centre part of the project is almost done. There is some work on outside parts of the project. Not sure if that part will be done this year though. I would think paving would be done...
