This site has to be the most valuable undeveloped real estate in the Beltline.I disagree, a diversity of building types is fantastic.
I would like to see some more ground floor action - and for the love of god, the city should do something about 6th Ave being a 5-lane one-way road.
Certainly, but it will take time.
Once upon a time there was a tower atop a grocery store podium set for 17th and 1st W:
17 Select | ?m | 26s | PBA Land Development | Gibbs Gage
DP has been submitted for the following project, which will include a 26 storey residential tower with 157 units, and a four storey commercial building with retail area, with supermarket. http://www.pbaland.com/developments/current-projects/17th-ave-sw/calgary.skyrisecities.com
It's almost a full block of potential redevelopment, located on 17th Ave, views of Rouleauville Square and St. Mary's, 3 blocks from the Stampede C-Train station, and 5 blocks away from the new green line station on Centre St.
I really hope we get something more ambitious than a grocery store and condos. It has the opportunity to be a real destination on 17th and connect all of the activity on the west side with the arena/convention centre.
