I’ll take the opposite approach. Would have rather seen two new towers developed in the East Village or Eau Clare area. I still prefer to concentrate development in the master planned areas that have already started rather than in areas that are starting from scratch (as much as they could use the development).

I see what you mean, but I'll take development when and where we can, especially when this will be combined with another development reducing blight in an extremely blighted area.

Or a trade off: these two towers and instead of a high rise where the Hat on 14th is, 4 X 6 floor buildings in the general area.

Good god please yes.

I agree. The extra towers around the area will add some density, but the area really needs those empty lots filled.

Do we know if they're driving piles for the entire site yet?

Strange to see new info on this because something called Two House Brewing Company has just painted the building at 1516 10th Ave, and looks to be opening a tap room soon?

I saw tweet from them, that they are moving to a new location in Sunalta.

Good question. They made Two house move, so you would think they are doing both towers, but on the other hand, they are already drilling and there are still buildings on the east side of the parcel.

Two House is moving to the old Mikey’s site further west. It is entirely gutted and half demolished right now.

as for prep for this project:

always exciting seeing projects get started

Glad to see Two House found a new home in SUNALTA - there are so few of these types of places in the neighbourhood.

True that.

Fabulous news that this one is going through. Very nice to hear!

Also, I think expanding the FFZ one station in all directions is a fantastic idea. This would be especially effective now that Bridgeland's retail node will be expanding down 9 Street toward the station, and with 17 Avenue punching into Stampede Park.

I could get behind that. It would make a nice little transit run from Bridgeland to Sunalta.

If Bridgeland gets added to the FFZ, then I think it would make sense to add the Zoo station too. If Vic Park, then add Erlton too. In addition to Sunnyside and Sunalta, the FFZ would encompass the whole downtown "bowl".
