I agree, to prove your point it could be set up as one of the temporary/summer covid road closures.

This second one is to the north of 2nd Avenue, but does not include the corner lot. Two houses, seen here:

I just noticed these two little laneway houses tucked away behind the houses on 19th street. Never noticed them before.

There are neat lots in a bunch of the older neighbourhoods. Like Bison Path in Ramsay or this lot directly behind another house with a shared driveway in Briar Hill. Nice find!

That's awesome. CivicWorks designed Courtyard 33, RNDSQR Block, Riverwalk, and other cool stuff, so we can probably expect good designs out of those two parcels.

Thank god, those houses are depressing

Plus, the owner/developer is Truman Homes I think, who do pretty high quality work.
This is great news. Let's hope that it helps generate interest for development on the west side of 33rd....assuming Uptown at Westbrook is dead
It's unfortunate that highly develop-able land sits empty while existing houses are torn down to build new. I know the houses are falling apart, but that's more related to the owners leaving them knowing they'll be replaced.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy to see the density boost along 33rd, and it's a win in many ways. Just a shame that the other nearby empty parcels aren't getting developed.

Eventually Matco will take the write down and either sell or move forward with a less ambitious proposal for the TOD site. My word, what a failure for the city.

Uptown isn't dead, i know of people currently working on it. Plans just keep changing due to market challenges/changes

Has Matco actually built anything in the city recently? I know they're sitting on the Westbrook lands as well as the Inglewood brewery lands. Do they actually build stuff or just like to talk about building stuff?

Mostly talk. Last project that I recall they did was 1912 Cross (SoBow) which they had units for sale for the longest time.

Confirmation in this Herald article that the new court building is going to be constructed immediately north of the historic court building... hopefully with a new design but I'm not holding my breath with this government.

The land use and outline plan for this one go to CPC next week. The report is here:A development permit has been submitted for the former Jacques Lodge land, next to Shaganappi LRT Station:
Brookfield bought this parcel off of Silvera, and the planning, land use and engagement was done by Ground Cubed planning, who have an engagement website up for this project;

Make one square and modern, one Scandinavian, and one Calgary suburban for those without taste.
