It looks like it. I know that the metal cladding covers most of the early sandstone and brick exterior. I really hope that its salvageable and can be used in a future re-development

I'd love to see something happen, but alas, as it is Matco, I don't have my hopes up. Did they launch the comprehensive planning and community outreach in 2021, like their website for this project says they were going to do?

Yeah, Matco are sitting on two prime development sites ... The Brewery and Westbrook TOD.

Do they still own the balance of the SoBow lands? Still quite a few phases to go on that one. They only put up one building since they acquired it from the first developer:

Was doing some work on the chiller for the east buildings, took it with a grain of salt but the guy who let us in and took us around claimed they were not building anymore there and turning it all in to a park. I didn’t really believe that as it would be a huge money loss.

There is a land use redesignation for the NAPA site on Edmonton Trail by Quantum Place. Asks for 22 metres and a sign onsite asks for around 40 units.

I think the DMAP link was wrong (I was being sent to the Glenbow DP. Is this the one you were after? https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=LOC2021-0180
I think that's the one.
It'd be great to see something developed on that corner. Edmonton Trail is one of those corridors with good potential.

Yes. Thanks. I'm not sure how that happened.
Had some time to kill so I thought I'd compare high-rise construction growth in the core (Downtown/EV/Beltline) from a little over 4 years ago years ago (Dec 2018) to today. I didn't include Bridgeland, Kensington or Mission, but I believe those neighborhoods also have more units u/c than was the case 4 years ago. I included Sunalta towers though it's not technically in the Beltline, it's close enough. I didn't include Curtis block or 11+11, even though they are still technically u/c.
For the time being our core growth in multi-family is very solid. Looking at all the projects u/c including 11+11 and Curtis Block we are looking at at least 4,130 new units for the core. This should result in a strong population boost over the next 3-4 years.

If it weren't for the high rise purpose rental activity, things would be pretty dead in the core.
I am still amazed at the popularity of these buildings with renters. Sure they are new and they have more amenities than a typical rental building from past decades. Also, I have heard the analysis that millenials don't want to own (although something is driving the single family demand). However rents in these new buildings are not cheap so you have to be making a decent income to afford it.
With interest rates as low as they are, why wouldn't you take that payment and buy a 'value priced' inner city condo instead?
