Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Took at Stroll down the new and improved 18 st. in Marda Loop. Looks really good, nice road treatment and traffic calming

Then had to check out Leonard Group's "Elizabeth Square" development. This little renovation/development might be one of my all time favorites, great street presence and immaculate vibes. Looks like DOP will occupy the cozy subterranean level. A number of the CRU's are already occupied

Noticed a Land Use for this parcel by the firehall near MRU. Wonder who owns it and if they're changing the land use and then flipping the property or if this is for something the owner is working on?

They're requesting designation of this property from 'DC Bylaw 141D2019' to 'MU-1 f3.0h32' to allow for:
  • a mixed-use development comprising of commercial and residential dwelling units in street-oriented buildings throughout the site;
  • a maximum building height of 32 metres;
  • a maximum building floor area of approximately 161,670 sq.m. to occupy a parcel size of 5.39 hectares (current DC District allows a maximum building floor area of 86,224 sq.m); and
  • no maximum density requirement (current DC District allows a maximum density of 165 dwelling units per hectare, approximately a maximum of 889 dwelling units).

I believe it is owned by Quadreal, and it will be a real (and very large) project. I haven't created a thread for it, since it is just land use right now, but expect something pretty big. Not sure of their timing beyond the land use though.

Few things. how do you do street-oriented commercial and multi-residential units with these big-ass streets that surround the site? I assume you orient active uses internally? A consistent problem of mobility overclassifying streets and designs that place automobility first and everything else as an afterthought.

Nice to see Quadreal moving on some residential developments here. Wish they would get started on those Eau Claire lands they have been sitting on for some time as well
 
Seriously ?! 😄

Eau Claire land development would be an event of historic proportions in my eyes.

So much great news this week - Whoooo !!!
I can't speak to their business practices, I am just lucky enough to be in a position where I get a bit of a preview of what is coming down the pipe. But, when you see this line from this article, you have to wonder, what are they going to spend the proceeds on?
