It is a senior's home. The renderings were floating around about 3 years ago when it went to planning commission I think. About 4 stories, decent filler, but nothing special.

Great place for that. The businesses must be happy with the added seniors ( I used to work at that shoppers).

Tough to find a full rendering of it, but O2 Planning and Design has a write-up and a bit of a rendering for the Kingsland Retirement Residence, mentioned just above:

I really wish the economic and political climate was such that property owners had sufficient incentive to throw up small commercial buildings like this in all the empty lots in Downtown and the Beltline. It's totally perverse that property owners are inclined to allow entire city blocks to sit empty for decades while they wait for the stars to align around high-rise mega projects.

Now if only they would gut and renovate the entire Palliser Square plaza at the base of the Calgary Tower. It’s a bit embarrassing that our premier tourist attraction has a hostile and dated entrance.
Couldn't agree more. Sometimes I wish those empty parcels in the middle of East Village were divided up into varying sized parcels so some smaller developments could start going rather than a 4 tower mega project. Smaller developments varying from the size of INK, to ones similar in scale and massing to projects like Fifth.

Not much of a change at the new Calgary Jewellery:

disappointed to see it is actually a jewlery store. when they were building out the roof terrace i hoped it might actually provide some benefit to 17th.
If it goes under maybe it'll become a bar again, but with a rooftop patio.

How many restaurants/bars can that end (actually either end) support? It needs some diversity to get people down there. So many empty ones on the west end already

Agreed. A high end jewelry shop on our main high street is not a bad thing. They are very common on a lot of major cities' main drags.
