These Kingsland projects are good to see. There's a bit of steady redevelopment scene happening with those Trico developments plus a few other infills along Glenmore. Lots of new energy into the area, in a relatively centrally located community. However, it's a shame that the area has non-existent pedestrian or transit orientation. All those new units at reasonable densities wasted in a pure suburban style, car-oriented environment. Walking distance to the LRT and Chinook Centre too.

South of Glenmore Calgary really needs at least one walkable node to start building off of. I mean literally anything. I can't recall a single pedestrian-oriented development or retail unit south of Glenmore at all. Perhaps there's something brand-new out in the deep 2020s era burbs I am unaware of?

Granted, it's a tough ask - the southern third of the city is about as pure 1970s-2020s car-dependent sprawl design as you can get from it's first construction. Low densities, minimal mixing of uses, no institutions to build off of with reasonable job clusters - the 2010s-era South Calgary Hospital being a notable exception, but painfully squandered by building it in most suburban, transit unfriendly location available.

Meanwhile MacLeod Trail and the CPR tracks do such a good job of sterilizing the more centrally located areas, no amount of TOD development or Kingsland-scale redevelopments has been yet able to make up for it. We just needs something walkable, somewhere!

They will grow fairly quickly with that much capital behind them, the family owns sandman inns and moxies etc.
