It's buried in the article but sounds like Aspen Properties has purchased Sun Life Plaza and are planning to redevelop similar to The Edison

This must be the one that's at the SE corner of 33 Ave and 18 St. Those look like retail signs along the 33rd Ave side. That would be a huge bonus. I didn't realize that this was going to have retail.

Sun Life Plaza is one of my most hated buildings in downtown. I mean, look at the NW corner! Hopefully there is some major improvements made at the ground level.
I'm down with the hate. Not only boring ugly buildings, but instead of going wit twins like usual, they went with triplets!

Some significant density proposed in Saddle Ridge, off of 52nd Street NE is going to CPC next week.

Thats awesome. Ive spent a lot of my years in that area. Taradale, Saddleridge, and Martindale have to be easily the most vibrant suburban communities in Calgary although Seton and newer communities will eventually overtake them.

One of the scariest corners to stand at on 8th.

This exactly. 5 vehicle lanes (1 of which is just a permanently empty centre-median, all of which are under-utilized 20+ hours a day) while the sidewalk is so narrow (and sloped at the corner) that two people can barely pass each other (assuming they are able-bodied and not using a mobility device or with a stroller). Also, the blind corner AND having a street signal pole right around it further restricting movement. Oh and it's an advanced green turn for vehicles north on 8th Street to west on 11th Ave so pedestrians crossing 11th Ave have to wait even longer than the excessively long 11th Ave westbound signal phase. Cool cool cool, totally cool.One of the scariest corners to stand at on 8th.

8th Street SW needs a re-do harder every time I look at it. It's an embarrassment, dangerous and hilariously out-of-date by current local transportation demands and accessibility standards.

It's amazing how poorly coordinated and laid out 8th street is considering how busy a pedestrian corridor it is.

You could say that about half the streets downtown. It's quite clear which transportation mode has had the priority in this city... 5th is one that I've always been amazed about how narrow the sidewalks are.

Another one with an amazingly unused centre median. Much better have those cars gently shift their lanes back together at low speeds than give pedestrians enough space to pass each other without stepping on the roadway - in front of those same cars.

Here is one that is in Montgomery (DP is currently in advertising):
It is called Montgomery Square, by Eagle Crest Construction. It is across the street (to the east) from the building with Notables in it:
This, coupled with the Main Streets Streetscape plan for Bowness Road will really help transform Montgomery further:

We’re creating a Master Plan for streetscape and transportation improvements on 43 Street N.W., 46 Street N.W. and Bowness Road N.W., which will shape how people travel within Montgomery, and how the community looks over the next several decades.
