That Montessori school development at Macleod and 14th is building a whole new structure. Footings (or whatever they're called) are above grade. Another surface lot bites the dust

It looks like some sort of project is starting up at 20th Ave and 2nd St.NW. I thought I saw a soil sample rig and it looks to be demolition starting. Does anybody know what’s proposed for that location?

It is a "missing middle" application similar to some of the others we've seen along 20th. They had a billboard up for a while showing the renders and if I recall correctly it's similar in size, scale and design to the one going up across from the Scandinavian Centre at 20th and 7th.

That one looks decent. The brick makes a big difference on these IMO.

I'm sorry to say that you are going to be dissapointed with the final outocme. They are building an outdoor play area elevated above the parking lot but you will still have surface parking.That Montessori school development at Macleod and 14th is building a whole new structure.

Let's pretend it will be like platform and converted to another use later. You know, when we're all transported around by the Tesla taxi.

Are they enclosing the parking at least? or will it be open air?

Open air, the mezz that they are building will cover about 3/4 of the current parking lot. The side against the neighbouring property is closed in with block wall but the front is simply gated.

Is this a reason to get excited?

Not unless you're the person who had to deal with people breaking into here last winter.

Yep, no active permits on this, so this isn't a project starting up. LIkely just a removal of an ongoing liability for Cidex (the owner).

Not sure if I’m posting this too much since it excites me that the dirt patch south of the hospital is finally getting built after a decade, but here’s some more Seton updates.
Looks like they’re also building the Leopold’s tavern and Red’s brunch building across the street at the same time as the two mixed use. That means the intersection will be 3/4 done right off the bat. And as you can see it connects to the already complete area to the south creating a nice corridor. The steel has gone up fast over the past week.
