They still haven’t shut down the lot yet. Whack.

I live in the area and it's kind of funny. The parking lot now shows as closed on the Calgary Parking website and a couple of days before the closure CPA was in the lot and removed all of the parking stops, the signage and the Park Plus machine. To me this suggests the land has probably now officially changed hands but it also means the new owners have this lot where they are giving away parking for free. You would think they'd either fence off the lot to limit liability or try to monetize it short term. Either way, because the parking stops and signs are gone it is complete anarchy there right now with cars parking in a different configuration every day and several instances of cars being boxed in by others creating a spot that really shouldn't be a spot. Hopefully construction starts soon.

East Village twitter account says it broke ground today.

Interesting as this tweet from a CBC reporter suggests construction may still be a ways off. Also it appears in this rendering that they have done away with the bespoke brick pattern from earlier renderings and we're getting a plain white brick building. That will be disappointing if accurate, especially given the prominence of the location.

That tweet has a glaring bit of misinformation, so I wouldn’t put much stock in it. EV606 is not the last remaining riverfront lot in the EV, Minto has that one on the east side of M2. Just sayin 
Sometimes the ground breaking ceremony precedes construction by a few months, but either way it looks like this one isn't far off.

The CMLC email newsletter has a slightly different rendering than the one in the the tweet. The blue is gone in this one as well but it appears to have been replaced with some grey brick instead rather than just white.

The parking lot was officially closed off from cars today with signs saying the lot is private property. Hopefully that's a sign that construction is about to begin and not just the developer realizing they had a huge liability issue by allowing hundreds of cars each day to park on their land.

Some people were on site today removing trees and taking down all the CMLC signage. The large power poles are still on site and no sign of proper construction fencing but some progress starting none-the-less.

Fencing and trailer now on site
Oh man, that's awesome. It doesn't seem like it will be left as an empty space

Just walked past there and there is utility markings all over the sidewalks and road all around the lot, plus the trees have orange fencing wrapped around them. I don’t think anyone would do that if they didn’t plan construction soon.
