Looks great! I wish we would see more of this type of proposal.

I imagine it is probably partly due to the locations of CFB Edmonton and the former Edmonton Municipal Airport. Made sense for it to be on the south side of the city. That said, I don’t know if there is a specific reason why it’s so far away from the city.

Shots of the partially completed mural, the patio space, and Elizabeth Square under development. I really hope LDG has more in the pipeline (selfishly I hope it’s in Marda Loop) because they do really thoughtful work. Everything from scale, colour, materials, lighting, etc. seems well thought out.

I don’t mind the colour. The ground floor mullions are too much though.

I’d be curious to know if the development on 37th is a product (at least in part) of Main Streets, or of the development would have occurred at the same rate regardless, because of the availability of 50’ lots with older homes.

I kind of like the blue as well.

I agree with you, anectdotally, that there are more people walking in the neighbourhood (at least since I moved here 6 years ago). I’m one of those stroller-pushing people in Marda Loop that you’re talking about. I only drive to take my kids to daycare (and only because it’s significantly...

Now the community needs to get on board with walking instead of driving.

There are some architectural styles where form is an outcome of function. Some may disagree with me, but I think there’s beauty in the simplicity of some International Style buildings as an example. That said, I think I’m going to go against the grain and say form over function. Maybe this is...

Marda Loop Village and GoPerformance.

I’m excited to see that the Marda Loop Co-Op development is going to be a partnership with Truman. I thought we’d see something official a lot sooner given the accidental sneak peak we got, so hopefully we really do see it this spring.

I have often thought about this when walking through Elbow Park. I expect that the province will sell them or transfer them to the City (likely for sale) once flood mitigation is in place. That’s what happened in High River once mitigation was completed there.

Every one of those would have been great additions to the city!

"Double Gretzky" didn't market very well in Calgary.

That's too bad if true. Allied owns a lot of great, historic buildings in the City.

I think about how ironic the window coverings are every time I walk by the building considering how long it was covered in scaffolding, and how long the street front has been vacant. They're even more ironic now. Allied did all this work to renovate (I'm not even sure if they're done yet), but...

They seemed to shift during development of the Harrison building. I assume it’s because the market for condos was soft when they were trying to sell presale units in Harrison and sell the remaining units in Coco. I know someone who actually had put a deposit on a pre-sale commercial unit in...

I think this will be the first of a few announcements on immigration in the coming weeks/months. https://apple.news/AfNsXJui0T3moHa9eK0EMTQ
