And even though it is part of a car centric shopping centre, Aspen Landing actually has a decent internal streetscape.

Do the businesses on the east side of 37 St near 17th count? For example, Shimizu Kitchen (I recommend the ramen!). That's 3 buildings and 8 retail bays at the sidewalk right there, although there is parking in the back and a driveway leading to the alley.
And then there are 5 more on the west side of 37th in a new-ish building near 19th Ave.

Yes all good points, I was mostly being cheeky with my statement - I would welcome someone doing the actual math on how much pedestrian-oriented retail is actually out there!
My main point remains valid I think - this building materially changes the supply and condition of pedestrian-oriented development in an area overwhelmingly lacking it. It's good to see, particularly on a promising corridor with top-level transit access.

If you build it they will come! ... and go quickly so don't bother building anything else.
Really disappointing., We've had 20 years of boomtimes for multi-family building, and a perfectly good TOD site sits empty. For the love of god City of Calgary, do not sell the entire parcel to one developer.
We've seen the one parcel one developer for Westbrook and Eau Claire, both have sat idle. On the other hand we've seen West Campus, East Village and University district, divide up the land and sell as individual parcels.
