I think the scope of work should be clarified for everyone: They are completely demolishing and reconstructing the existing residential tower from floors 3 to 9 and enlarging the floor area of the building slightly. The 2nd floor condo units at the rear, and commercial units on the main floor are not being altered in this phase. The building will remain 9 storeys.

It’s too bad they weren’t able to add 2 or 3 floors.

I really wish that heritage building in the foreground was some type of restaurant or something. Seems like such a missed opportunity to not utilize that patio space along the river for something like that.

Fully agree too. Prime spot for a brewery or restaurant or both. Would do very well here.

My wife and I talk about this every time we are on Memorial.

Skyrise Brewing anyone?

History of Firehall #6

No idea why they can't lease out the space though.

Oh edit, according to this, Calgary parks was trying in 2021 to find a tenant by 2022

Then and now: What’s to become of Calgary’s Fire Station No. 6

Its history deeply entrenched, the old fire hall is looking for a new tenant to preserve its walls.

From 2021: The city is posting the lease listing this week. There's already a for lease sign in front of the building. Those interested in the opportunity can reach out via 311, online, or via email.

I wonder what happened if it was listed for lease

Apparently sales for this project have done pretty well (far better than I would have thought). Only 14 units left, it says this will be finished by the fall:

Twenty-five years after the property was purchased, it has been redeveloped — and now The Kenten is three-quarters sold, writes David Parker

There's only 44 units total though, so abut 2/3 sold, which is about when projects start construction.
