So about when the SELRT was to have opened to help manage this FAR/density?

The original opening date of the VLSE has always been December 2020, no?

The DC on this property may have expired. It would have sometime this year, as it had a 10 year sunset clause unless Council extended it.

Can’t think of any other project I wish had gone forward more than this one. The “width” of our downtown would have improved substantially and Ice District wouldn’t feel like an island. 1300 units too….man.Still my favourite 'never built'. We specifically negotiated to ensure that building was written into the DC.

That project would have brought thousands into my area and made many of the vacant retail and commercial spaces in the a warehouse district far more economically viable for a variety of different businesses from barbers to restaurants. Huge missed opportunity.

It was an impressive project, close to MacEwan. While circumstances have changed, I think something will be built here in the future.
Hopefully it be something decent. It would be good if we could work on filling in this gap downtown.

Let's.wait to see how receptive and demands are after 'The Parks' are completed. Perhaps there is a chance for this revival?

There is definitely some more need or there should be more thought put into more student housing Downtown. Hopefully a number of projects close to MacEwan go ahead for those reasons. Students are a growing important demographic to the future of Downtown.

This looked a bit upscale for student housing, but the location being so close to MacEwan does provide possibilities and potential tenants for that.
I think the project completed several blocks west seems more focused on student housing, so some is being built.
While the U of A is on the south side, I expect anything close to the downtown LRT stations will attract some students. Its also probably more affordable than closer to the University.

Not with the original group or DC.

You fixed words, but the current holder of the property has a high asking price. If they don't proceed, THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY. Our only breath to this is a resounding success to The Parks.
