Excavation underway. The last remnants of Bonzai waterslide park can be seen. Almost looks like an archeological dig haha.

Interesting change from the original proposal at the same address(s). I took this photo in April 2024, and you can see by the date on the sign that it had been there for some time already by that point. Looks like they got ahold of another two properties for a bigger development.

Yeah it's a good fit. And the plaza right across Southland with No Frills, Amaranth, Dollarama plus many other shops will be really convenient for the tenants who end up living there. I'm curious if they have any commercial/retail tenants yet for the main floor spaces.

Coming along

I went there to upgrade some high school courses about 20 years ago and it was a gong show in the morning and afternoon. Probably didn't help all the students were adults from all over Calgary so most drove their own vehicle to/from. Probably worse than when it was just a regular school for the...

It looks like the land use change was approved? The developer submitted a new or amended Development permit application on March 19th. Not sure what if anything has changed in the application.

I live close to here and can see the existing towers from my balcony. I'll try to keep an eye on it.

I live within earshot of the Ranchman's and indeed it does suck. Hearing Cadillac Ranch and Fishin' in the Dark hourly for 10 days gets old really fast haha.

No more dithering. Just build it already. How many tax dollars already wasted from all the grifters on this project with endless studies and committees etc. We're starting to look like California (the ugly part of California).

I had no idea there were still some bungalows around that area. Wild

Tarps around the main floor are gone. This is the South end of the building.

My primary residence condo is more central though not really inner city (Elbow Dr near Heritage) and the assessment is up 48% from last year. My rental condo is more suburban (Millrise) and is up 33%. This is the first year ever where the assessment was actually close to actual market value...

Redstone, Cityscape, Skyview Ranch are overpriced. Probably over 90% of the people in those areas are newcomers to Canada who don't know any better and the realtors take advantage of that. Large amounts of mortgage fraud to get the loans approved too.

My primary residence condo I'd barely break even if I sold today. If I sold it two years ago I would have lost a significant amount. My rental property condo I bought in 2018 for $240K would sell for around $350k today. So there has been some recovery in condo prices. I think the higher interest...

They want between $450k-$500k for a 359sqft one bedroom unit. Get real. I like the building overall though.
