17th and 4th | 164m | 46s | Vesta | Zeidler

The Truman development between 15th and 17th along Macleod will also do wonders in that regard.

No credit for sovereign ... sad.

I like Sovereign, but it's a pretty small project overall in an area with loads of vacant lots and underutilized buildings, whereas this one is absolutely massive and could potentially draw thousands of people to this stretch of 17th. Its a true game changer for the area IMO.

I was joking but I'm hoping Sovereign pulls people down 1 Street SW. Something in the NW corning of 17th and 1 Street SW would be great. I am happy about 17th and 4th though, pull people on 4th to 17th. Having potential hubs around the Beltline that you can go between would be great. I don't expect all of 17th to be electric... There are CRUs in Sovereign, right?

the lot id like to see developed next is the corner north of Sovereign. its large enough for a podium that could support some amenities lacking in the beltline like cinemas, a rec room and or something like an urban walmart.

From that angle, 4 St Lofts looks as tall as TD Tower and almost as tall as Bankers Hall from that angle. A building nearly twice as tall will look absolutely massive.

Looks like the fence is for a temporary skating rink! Cool!

 

[Woosh]

Damn, whoever is in charge of activating this empty lot should run for mayor.

If you're ever wondering why parts of downtown feel so soulless and horrible, it really just boils down to too many empty lots (including parking lots).

I'm not above being bribed with outdoor rinks.

Could this be a temporary replacement to make up for the removal of the Olympic Plaza rink while they do construction there?

That is where the temporary outdoor space was setup on the west side of downtown at the end of 8th Street.

I believe this is for the beltline bonspiel in Feb

 

[UrbanWarrior]

They're putting in a skating rink!

So Vesta is officially the best developer ever, between this and the temporary event plaza.
