General Construction Updates

In looking around, spotted this interesting land use at the Phil's off Glenmore and Elbow and the lot across the alley:

Description
The application proposes to change the land-use designation of this property to allow for:
  • a mixed-use development comprising of commercial/retail on the ground floor and residential dwelling units above;
  • a maximum building height of 95 metres, about 26 storeys (an increase from the current maximum of 10 to 18 metres); and
  • a maximum building floor area of approximately 46,939 square metres.
Interesting...
I found another one on Macleod- near 42nd Avenue.

A change is proposed at multiple properties (see map) to allow for:
  • A change is proposed at multiple properties (see map) to allow for:
  • Commercial and residential uses in street-oriented buildings with either commercial or residential uses at street level [Mixed Use - General (MU-1f8.0h90) District]
  • A maximum building height of 90 metres (an increase from the current maximum of 46 metres);

Interesting... even more so since it is very close to 39th Avenue Station

Walkable to 39th Ave Station, wow we're actually organically getting TOD. Macleod is going to be remade piece by piece isn't it? Then the City will look at it and think we should've proactively redone it.

Forgive my ignorance - do we typically build big warehouses our of concrete? If not a usual, practice why would someone want to do that this time?

I've worked in the SE industrial parks for 15 years and don't recall seeing a structure of this magnitude (it goes the entire block length along 52nd) built with this size of prefab concrete. Usually you see all the steel go up first. Even the Amazon warehouses north of here were all steel framed. That's why I posted this. It's so big I can't even capture all of it.
 
I haven't been to that area in a while- so I wouldn't really know to be honest. Last I did was going to Twisted Element w/ friends a couple years back.

I was just going over screenshots and Street View- which was dated to June 2024
It has just happened. They're currently grading the land to make it a parking lot for the meantime.

It would probably go faster (and the results would be better) if we would hurry up and to a total rebuild of the entire road from Anderson to downtown. The alternative is to let all this development happen and then like 15 years later realize "wow why are so many pedestrians dying on Macleod all of a sudden and no one wants to go outside?"
 
sorry guys, in the news they indicate the exact address of the 5 lands, thanks a lot everyones' participation
