General Construction Updates

"Inspire" sounds as bad as if it was "Inspire" in Tsuut'ina. What happened to calling a library a library? The Central Library just beat the buzzer on these bizarre naming conventions.
 
Unfortunately you are correct in your fear of a carwash...

Attempting to not completely give up hope. There’s still half the site left. Wtf Brookfield never updates the Seton website. Still advertises it as an entertainment ‘district’. If shopping at Superstore then getting your car washed is entertainment then I’m Ron Swanson! Argh!!

I have heard quite a few times that the UofC SAPL is going to be moving into the building this year.
Someone needs to provide money for that to happen. They may be crossing the wires where SAPL (old central library, provincial adjacent land) project and the big downtown office reuse project (which since we have seen nominally 'speculative work' about a large adaptation project) are conflated and the details are blurred between them.
 
I recall seeing on the old east village development map that Bosa owned the east half of that lot, the area thats being cleared, and west half with the parking garage was city. That was probaly 7+ years ago though when the east village was just getting started and Bosa doesn't seem to have much on the go in Alberta these days so I'd be curious to know if they still control it or not.
