General Construction Updates

Forgive my ignorance - do we typically build big warehouses our of concrete? If not a usual, practice why would someone want to do that this time?

From what I've seen that is exactly how they're built. Precast concrete seems to be the standard exterior for these structures. I don't know why they're doing the facade first and not the steel structure though.
 
It mentions lands in Erin Woods, Erlton, Crescent Heights, Shaganappi and Haysborough in the article. Since these are all older established areas, I'm guessing that they are former school sites?
 
In looking around, spotted this interesting land use at the Phil's off Glenmore and Elbow and the lot across the alley:

The application proposes to change the land-use designation of this property to allow for:
  • a mixed-use development comprising of commercial/retail on the ground floor and residential dwelling units above;
  • a maximum building height of 95 metres, about 26 storeys (an increase from the current maximum of 10 to 18 metres); and
  • a maximum building floor area of approximately 46,939 square metres.
Interesting...

I found another one on Macleod- near 42nd Avenue.

Interesting... even more so since it is very close to 39th Avenue Station

Walkable to 39th Ave Station, wow we're actually organically getting TOD. Macleod is going to be remade piece by piece isn't it? Then the City will look at it and think we should've proactively redone it.
