Northland Village Redevelopment | 19m | 6s | DIALOG

I’m definitely going to be using Vinyl Village now, but maybe when a relative asks about the suburbs.

Oh yes, they live in Vinyl Village now. They used to live in Stucco Station, and before that they were in Hardie Hamlet. The plaza in front of Walmart is a beautiful place to spend a summer afternoon.

People have already begun to move in.

The bike lane/bus stop layout beside the new residential buildings has been reconfigured by getting rid of the bus pullout that was in the middle of the bike lane and moving the bus stop from the sidewalk to the concrete island/divider:

Residential buildings: South building is complete and people have moved in.

Mall redevelopment:

All in all these residential buildings replacing some of the old parking lot is an improvement. Hopefully they finish building the rest.

You should have added a warning label to this post Niteryder. I just about had a heart attack seeing some half decent cycling infrastructure in Calgary's 'burbs!

I hope that the North Hill Shopping Centre takes note and starts slowly converting itself into a residential/commercial area because that mall is pretty dead as well.

Higher density then this, but to take inspiration

 

[Habanero]

If I recall correctly, there were plans to develop the East End of North Hill but there is some sort of issue with the soil needing to be remediated.

 

[Roaring Flames]

The former gas station site which sat directly east of the former Sears needs remediation before anything gets built

The next stage of the mall's redevelopment has been applied for. It is going where most of the mall is now (maybe iti s already demolished? I haven't been by there in a while), but it is just single storey retail by the looks of it, including a grocery store.

This whole redevelopment feels like a massive missed opportunity to me. A couple of crappy looking apartment buildings, strip mall-style retail surrounded by acres of parking and lousy pedestrian connections. It looks like something I'd expect to get developed at the far edge of the city, not a redevelopment in an established area close to LRT...

Unless they build a station at Northland it’s not that close to an LRT station. There’s hope for the development yet, maybe they’ll build better stuff on the south end of the parcel.

I feel like this is a good kickstarter for a more dense node. Now that this will be buildt, more developers can use that area to build more around the area.

And it’s not that close to an LRT station
