Correct. Bankside Properties.

It's just the parking lot. The other buildings adjacent will remain, which is awesome.

Yup! Bankside.
LOLA has been killin' it recently too - perhaps we could see a reprise over on that site.

Area has come a long way from the days of the crack cul-de-sac!

Great example on how you don't always need towers, even in really central locations, to get a good boost in density and a huge upgrade to the community's urban form.
Also - just put bricks on everything. I think about 50% of people complaining about development are really just saying they want boring but classy, traditional bricks.

East Village finally going University District in scale. Between this and what is along the river, that's what seems to move in the East Village. The one north of Bell is coming though. I think these guys also have the lot that is the basketball court?

Honestly, if the quality is there (like in this project and much of University District) I'd be fine with most of the rest of EV building out with 6 storey wood frame. LoDo in Denver is mostly lowrise/midrise and has been very successful. I guess it will come down to the economics.
Not sure re: the basketball court

You might be thinking of this land use application at 17th Ave and 28th Street SE:
FAR 8.0, height of 80m.

Development Update | East Village | Calgary Municipal Land Corporation
New sales add to growing pipeline of East Village development, new construction expected to initiate in 2025.
The site of the temporary Bounce Games Park has also been conditionally sold to another developer partner, and we anticipate having more details in early 2025.

I know there are a few members who are in the North Central area. Looks to be a significant upgrade to the Mount Pleasant community centre. Another Lola project

It's a shame if the bounce park gets developed before some of the other empty lots. The Bounce park is one of the cool things in EV.Development Update | East Village | Calgary Municipal Land Corporation

I honestly didn't realize it was temporary. Guess it makes sense given the site it's on. Certainly hope something like it is built elsewhere nearby
