There has always been 2-3 projects on the go in Marda Loop since I moved here in 2015. I don't think the construction will be done in 2027.

And every tenant that goes in is a small local business.

Leonard Development Group strikes again! These are the developments I'm most excited about in Marda Loop. Much more than the Co-op proposal or the strip mall across the street.

Marda Loop is an absolute nightmare to walk around right now. They've now ripped up the South side of 34th Ave between 17th and 20th street and there is a single narrow lane carrying the cars (which will be frustrated by 22nd Street now being closed off) through on a single lane. This makes the...

Small update of the one part of the Marda Loop Mainstreets project that is nearing completion from this morning. Feels like the finishing touches are taking forever but it's at least completed enough that you can walk on 18th street now. Will be a real nice area once everything is all done.

The existing building is being demolished today. Was about 80% gone when I walked by at lunch.

Does that mean that those sidewalks will not be completed as a part of the Main Streets project? Or are they being completed and then promptly ripped up again?

Swung by Marda Gras this morning. Was the same as usual, albeit a little narrow between 19th and 20th street with the North side ripped up.

I'm wondering what Marda Gras will be like this year given that 33rd is completely ripped up. Guessing it will be toned down somewhat.

19 stories in Marda Loop? Not a chance it will go through. I can't wait to have that lot redeveloped with a Co-op on site but I just don't see this happening. And for me, I'm far more excited by the work Leonard Development Group is doing 2 blocks away, and the Central Taps about to start...

Elizabeth Square is seeing some of their tenants move in. There's a baby store, a jeweler and soon to be a sandwich shop opening. Unfortunately there are also multiple windows on one of the buildings that have been damaged. There was minimal hail in the neighbourhood during the storm on Monday...

I live in the area and walk in the affected area multiple times a day. I am not opposed to the construction, rather am fully in support of it. But it is an absolute pain in the ass walking around the neighbourhood right now. Worse than driving, IMO. I'm the one using my legs to get out and...

Altadore has been one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the city to move to long before this main street work was done. Construction work has really ramped up in the last few weeks and it's starting to get difficult to walk around the neighbourhood. There are a few sections where...

Cannot wait for the Central Taps. That rooftop patio is going to be an absolute hit in the neighborhood.

Well this explains why Spice Cafe shut down earlier this year. Was gutted to see them go. The West end of downtown is dead and anything that breathes a bit of life into it is good by me. On the +15 almost everything west of 4th street has closed up. 5th and 5th has half their food court...

This. Leonard Development Group are doing the best work in Marda Loop, and it's not even close. Just walked by their Elizabeth Square development and when the plaza is finished, that area is going to be amazing. I guess it depends on what you want, but I prefer small additions of density that...

I'm not the biggest fan of the look and it's less retail than what currently exists in the strip mall but it's not Courtyard 33 bad. As long as Tres Marias and to a lesser extent Saffron Bistro find another home in the neighbourhood I don't have any issues with this.

Nm, has it's own thread apparently

In this city, the best stadium is the one that actually gets built, which is an increasingly tough ask. To my knowledge, there hasn't been one built with private funds since McMahon was built 65 years ago.

I can't see a central stadium happening unless another ownership group comes in and throws a lot of money at Spruce Meadows. They have a huge advantage in building where they are as they already own the land and have an easier time developing that land by not having to deal with the city. It's...
