Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

The Currie Barracks project is not terribly nice is it. The one by Anthem looks good, and should be the bar for other developments in the area.

I'm a silver lining type of guy...on a positive note, it will add good density that will benefit Marda Loop which has been on a roll lately. I don't know how Currie Barracks as a whole will turn out, but more density there will benefit Marda loop, an area with good bones, and going in the right direction.

Found this after searching, a bit more info on the project.

Interesting to see how this looks. Nice that there is residential density already on the go before the green line has even started. They might both end up finishing around the same time.

According to Remington Developments, this is not one of theirs. They are not working with Norr Architects on anything. Wonder who the developer is?

Gibbs Gage is the architect on this one. I am certain it is Remington.

Gibbs Gage is the architect on this one. I am certain it is Remington.

According to my former neighbor, the site is fenced off and an excavator is tearing up the pavement and grass. Maybe a sales center?

 

[MichaelS]

I am pretty sure these are going to be rental apartments, but maybe? I have heard Remington is pretty eager to move on them.

I noticed yesterday that the fencing along MacLeod trail just passed Repsol has huge anthem banners up - were those always there? Have I just not went by there in a long time?

They've not been there too long, but it's been well known that Anthem has owned that huge lot for a long time. They are planning a 4-tower development with an enormous retail podium. The project thread on this site is called "Anthem Erlton".

Makes sense now that they've completed Waterfront and shifting focus to Erlton

 

[AccUnit]

I saw the signs as well, my thought is that they wanted some signage during Stampede to get more eyes on the site. Although it does make sense that focus would be shifting with the Waterfront project winding down.

I'm trying to picture where this is. Is that old steel bridge, the one at McDonald Ave?

Yep, that's the one

[Mountain Man]

So they are going to replace that bridge with a cable stay bridge?
