That would be it.. less of it now

Your guess is as good as mine for what's coming next, but I can't see new construction being bad for the area.

Unless it is just a huge relocated Co-Op gas bar. They seem to be really bullish right now.

Crane base ahoy!

The image won't load for me. Is it of that site?

 

[Meikkhaell]

Yeah, i've had lots of issues lately of images just not loading on this site.
Not sure if it's something wrong with my PC or if it's something else. :/

I've had an issue with @darwink's images. Not sure what it is exactly, but I get some sort of weird icon. I'll report it in the issues thread.

Weird.

So it looks like the second major DP for the Westbrook TOD is in. The description in the link doesn't provide much info, but I have to believe that they are applying for more than just an indoor rec centre?

Does anyone know if Matco has any intention of moving forward with their first approved DP, for 500 apartments and a grocery store?

I guess it doesn't have to be more than just an indoor rec centre.....

No permits submitted for that Macleod site. Only demo permits.

Did anyone catch this presentation? http://www.metronews.ca/news/calgar...-out-of-calgary-group-says-it-s-possible.html

This would be a game changer for the DT/Beltline

I went to it. Pretty interesting. It was a student project, so take everything with a grain of salt. But they seemed to have done some pretty intense analysis. I think this group was mostly transportation engineers. They said the total capital cost would be $1.2 B or something, and the phasing would take like 32 years. But the land value of the excess land would be in the order of $900M, so it isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. An interesting discussion, but more of a conversation than a serious proposal.
