Old legion is now torn down. Any word when the new development is starting?

This is excellent news.

Moved posts from Kensington Legion thread over to this new thread.

This will be an important litmus test for the condo market. The article mentioned a grocery store of some sort which would be cool.

There are a ton of investors from BC and Ontario in the Calgary market right now, this may appeal to them more than locals.

I’m positive you’re correct. My wife’s cousin from Toronto phoned me last week looking for real estate advice on Calgary. He told me all his buddies are interested in the Calgary real estate market. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if a number of these condo units were out of town buyers.

It would be great to see that empty lot go away and add some good retail to Kensington Road at the same time.

It looks a lot like their Gateway project at West District.

Similar overall massing and style, but more glass than Gateway, a lot more glass surprisingly. Was this approved before some of the building code changes?

It is also "thicker" than Gateway, with it steppign down to the north, whereas Gateway is more rectangular.

A new DP has been submitted for this one. Maybe the old one expired? Or, they are making some tweaks/changes that are beyond the scope of a revised plans submission?

Community Association states that changes are internal only and the exterior remains the same as previous application.

I'm pretty sure the changes are to include space for a grocery store on the main level. Nothing major.
