Even though the UW Zone parameters are hard to define (apparently they keep changing), if we take a rational assessment that the zone might be at least 5 hectares in size we are talking about a population potential of 11,000 dwellings or about 25,000 people. That realized would certainly put some oomph in downtown viability.

This is the current definition, from the report:

"...all properties zoned Urban Warehouse which is land Downtown generally between 104 Avenue, Jasper Avenue, 109 Street and 105 Street, and identified as the Central Warehouse sub-area within the Capital City Downtown Plan."

Yes, @CplKlinger, I realize that... but NorQuest changes the zone to suite their edu functions and the LRT changes zoning for another function so the UW zoning keeps shrinking. I like the notion of saving the character of the Warehouse function -- it gives a special kind of panache for the historic area's relevance. I was just trying to scope the relevance from a population perspective.

Their rezoning went through uncontested and without question.

See any renderings?

No. Just a rezoning/massing.

Recently cut trees? Suggesting a soon to be announced start of this project?

I believe those were removed by the city

The blvd ones, but the site has been cleared.

Here's hoping. Can't wait to see the lot fenced off and digging begin.

Any insider updates on this? Are we more unsure about the "ifs" or the "whats" for this project?

Going to be called 'The Warehouse Block'

6 storeys, commercial at grade. 226 units. No renderings or elevations yet, just the site plan below.

Hopefully they pay more homage to the area than just the name, and avoid the sales bin at the Siding Superstore.
