Is it not weird to have this so finished before any shovel has touched the ground?

has a bit of a dystopian vibe right now

You have to admit though, once the trees get bigger and a street wall develops that's gonna be a really nice street

Hopefully the developers don’t trash the sidewalks when they start building like on 37th St SW.

Drove by yesterday and the playground looks mighty lonely.

Honestly do what they're doing at 6th Ave and 9th Street downtown. Some affordable modular construction would be great. Only thing is, for affordable housing it isn't close to much other than a Co-op.

True, but they do have MAX Orange service.

Hopefully Midfield Heights *is* the thing that housing within it will be near. Would be a huge missed opportunity for the region not to make the place a retail hub.

It drives me nuts that they do this. I've see so many projects where the city does all the finish work surrounding a site, then the building contractors come in and destroy it, then it has to be done again.

Sounds like we are still a couple of years away from any sort of building happening.

Moving at the speed of bureaucracy...

 

[CalgaryTiger]

Construction COULD start two years AFTER the sales go through... Lol we'll see an operational Green Line before we see people living here. But the sidewalks are ready!

So, the first DP is in, this one for "Lot 3". Architect is "Pact" and developer is "Alpha Built" out of Edmonton, who have done/are doing a few decent buildings here in Calgary including the 6 storey Kingslanding building and some of the midrises in Shawnee Park. I'm just not a fan of these sort of comprehensive townhouse developments - I much prefer townhomes to be street oriented - so this one isn't doing it for me. Still, at least it's a sign of life for Midfield.

Pretty disappointed it’s just townhomes and not something more dense but I guess some movement on this is nice.
