This was proposed for that lot about 10 years ago and never got its wings.

Looking at Trocan's Instagram, they mention a couple of other projects. One in Mission.

And they mention that they are working on a mixed use project on 16th ave across from SAIT.

I noticed the Trocan signs on the fence there the other day.

I would to thrilled to see that site across from Sait developed. It's literally been a fenced off lot for like 20 years.

Has it been that long? I know when I started my schooling for apprenticeship in 2016 they were doing reclamation work quite deep.

I grew up in the neighborhood and it's pretty much been a fenced off site for as long as I can remember

Looks like it's been an empty lot since around 2002-2003 according to the city map site

That sounds about right. I remember getting gas for my car at the old Esso station that used to be there. It feels like it wasn't that long ago, but time flies.

A few pics of the Imperial Oil campus. Very…Houston / Silicon Valley.
I have to admit, the canal is kind of a nice feature.

I'm glad we don't have many of those campus style office developments around, I do like the new Atco one though...

The interior of that smaller, central building at the Atco campus is incredible. And I think it is publicly accessible (not sure post Covid) as they have their blue flame kitchen and cafe in it:

A small but interesting land use change is going to CPC next week for downtown. The CalFrac building (SE Corner of 4th Street and 8th Ave SW) is asking for a land use amendment to allow them to put a scrolling digital stock market ticker on their building.
Report, Background, Applicant Submission,

Here is the building in question:

Admin is recommending approval, and the Applicant Submission has their rationale as to why the alteration of the historic facade is okay (have only skimmed the documents, unsure what the official admin take on it is, but must be okay if they are recommending approval).
