Thanks for all the updates! This area is always under a cloud of dust these days, it will be good when most of the construction for the earthworks is done.
Does anyone know what's happening with the parcels between 10a and 5 on the map? It looks like the area between 4 and 5 is already dug up for construction, but the space between 10a and 5 has become a bit of a parking spot/dirt dumping.

No developments proposed yet. It is only the northern parcel of the 3 in the area you describe that has some activity on it according to development map. A land use redesignation has been submitted and is under review. Based on the description, the developer is looking at building a pretty good sized project there:

Hi, Any updated photo of Orion Aspen Spring condo and Elkwood tonwhome? Great thx!

 

[MichaelS]

Finally got to this area yesterday to get some photos for an update:

Spring Hill Estates is really rising out of the ground now:

85th & Park is finished and occupied:

The final buildings of the Aspen Spring townhomes are now up, still need finishes on the outside, and there are some finishing touches on a few others as well. Not sure if some of them have occupancy yet or not:

The Orion Aspen Springs condos are also close to finishing up:

Stripping and grading is well underway for the Elkwood Townhomes / Whitney Condos / Balsam Apartments site:

Building 5 of The Willows has its parkade finished, we should start to see it rising pretty quickly now:

And a lot of grading work still being done on the Partners site for Summit 77 Townhomes and the Summit 77 Apartments, but no buildings going up yet by the looks of it:

The next project has been applied for, another townhome project by Slokker. This one is called Juniper, #13 on the map:

Some pictures from the area. I've been following a while and live in an Arcola townhome. A few pictures.
Can't figure out what is going on here (there was an old place that seems to have finally been taken down - wasn't sure if they were sticking it out and was away a few months)

I took the first picture to the left of this walkway just behind the Truman single detached homes if that helps determine was is going on in the first pic.

Another thing I can't figure out is what the concrete structure on the left is going to be. It is just to the left (west) of the 4 condos from Truman.

Also, here is the entryway into at least one of those condos now (at the end of the walkway in the second photo)

@GAK7 , that concrete structure is the 5th Truman building of The Willows. Will be a 6 storey building, similar architecture to the other 4, just a rectangle.

@NickWang, orion isn't quite done construction yet.

Cobalt goes to CPC this week.
ReportBackgroundDP PlansUDRP CommentsCA Letter,

No new renderings, still pretty low quality ones to be honest. The heights have been shuffled around a bit from the initial application, but still 4 big buildings: From the DP drawings:

This is some crazy density for West Springs!

 

[MichaelS]

It is not West Springs, it is Springbank Hill. West Springs is north of Bow Trail, south of Old Banff Coach Road. Then south of that is Aspen Woods (between Bow Trail and 17th Avenue), then Springbank HIll between 17th Avenue and Highway 8.

FYI, this didn't get approval. Not rejected either, but sent back to see if they could figure out a better way to accommodate the grades. Some debate of this was an overreach (it meets requirements) as CPC asked to go above and beyond the requirements. We will see what happens with this project now.

Do we know what is happening to the land GAK7 pictured in the first photo in his post? I can't seem to see any applications for it but they are sure digging up a storm.

For a suburban development it’s very solid. This would look great across from Chinook.
