That sucks, I have a feeling one of the city’s highest profile intersections is getting stuck with another surface lot.

Isn't this where Mission Towers is going. I remember last year they said this project isn't dead yet.
I keep checking for a DP or LOC for this project.
MISSION TOWERS - MODA
Lastly, as a final design consideration the project responds to the different speeds and scales of how one experiences the city. The carve, at grade retail

Nope. was changed in 2001. Believe before it allowed up to 13 stories. I think the applicant transferred the density of "Site 2" to "Site 1" which allowed LeCaille Parke Place to be built.Except this parcel:
771 1 Ave SW

Was this supposed to be condos at one point and got capped and turned into a parade?
I remember Moda (or someone) saying something about it not being dead yet. Originally Moda lost out on the bid to a more conservative design. It would be nice to see that developed one way or another.Isn't this where Mission Towers is going. I remember last year they said this project isn't dead yet.

In that link, the phase 1 rendering says the office tower is going to be renovated. I wonder if that's still the plan?
I thought I had heard sometime ago that they nixed the reno idea due to issues with the building or something. I'd like to be wrong, and that we aren't going to see it demolished and let to sit as a parking lot.

That MODA design is awesome, but even the more conservative design is good and would be a vast improvement.
The 17 Ave and 4 St intersection is basically where dead zones begin on both streets. 17 Ave falls off east of the intersection (with the exception of a few notable places like Pigeonhole/Model Milk), and 4 St south of 17 Ave has a lot more happening than 4 St north (save a few spots).
Redevelopment of this site could help fill some void in both the north (along with the Reds project) and east directions.
Hopefully this doesn’t sit too long!

Last I heard was Grosvenor had the site up for sale, but don't think that ever happened. Maybe they decided not to exit the Calgary market after all.

Development of the funeral home lots along 17th avenue would do wonders of extending the vibrancy all the way to the Stampede

I can see it happening, I mean, funeral homes really are a dying business.....

There’s still that parking lot just east of the Louise Bridge, fronting right on to West Eau Claire Park and the riverfront, standing wave, and all that.
I heard business is brisk and that people are dying to get in there.I can see it happening, I mean, funeral homes really are a dying business.....

I don’t remember the name of this one but it is in purgatory. If I’m not mistaken, nothing has changed since the last update.
