I did not see this article posted anywhere https://renx.ca/one-properties-to-build-2-mixed-use-towers-at-calgarys-east-village The main focus of the article is on the One Properties project however there is a review on what other development is going on including the large vacant section in the...

The statement made in the magazine is a little misleading. If you are not from Calgary, one might think when reading this that one out of 3 buildings sits vacant. What they mean to say is 'almost one third of total office space is vacant'.

I remember seeing the original plans for the suites. They were going to be upscale. Since then, the cost per square foot has gone way up I am sure. Unlike other office building conversions, this one was pretty much gutted on the inside. Here is an article from last year...

Oil and especially natural gas will continue to be a significant driver of Alberta's economy for decades to come. There a number of projects underway already in Alberta (wind, solar, hydrogen, lithium) and a burgeoning tech industry that are aimed at diversifying the provinces' economy. As for...

This subject seems to come up on the forum every couple of years or so. We all agree that it would be the preferred outcome. However, the reality is that there would be a massive cost to do so that the either the city/ province would have to foot the entire bill. CP will not contribute a dime...

Yes let's finish one part of downtown (Rivers District inc East Village) before we start developing another large section. The worst scenario would be to have undeveloped land and a sea of parking lots in both east and west with sporadic development or unfinished development in each. Right now...

To be fair. The project that eventually became Oliver was supposed to be all office. It was put on hold when the commercial office market fell off a cliff. When the owner/developer decided that the market for new office was never coming back, the decision was made to turn the space into residential.

Well there is some forward movement on this although it is just going to delay things further. They want to add balconies to the top 10 floors. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2023-00589

😃 Yep ... Forbes & friends ... CJAY92

So does the LRT station come first, then Harvard's development? If so, that pushes the whole Eau Claire redo out several years. That's too bad given the all the improvements on the pathway and west of Prince's Island. It is going to be one continuous construction site in that area ☹️

That's the question. CSEC will not pay for remediation even if this was their desired location. The city is already at their upper limit with their share of costs. That leaves the province and good luck with that. I think we can safely conclude that any revised proposal for West Village would...

Hmm .. selling the one property but perhaps hanging on to the larger one where the old YWCA building is?

https://www.greatgulf.com/highrise/community/highcliffe-riverfront The project is still on their website. Does not look like there is any investor 'reach out' so I would say that their plan is still to market it to local condo buyers when the market outlook improves.

This project if constructed is no closer to the DIC than Bosa's towers in East Village. The DIC was there before Bosa's developments and obviously did not alter their decision to move forward. We have not heard anything about Great Gulf delaying their project until a decision was made on the...

The DIC has nothing to do with this potential project. There is a Calgary Homeless thread in General Discussions which is a more suitable place for this debate.

I don't own a pet but I have heard that veterinarians make pretty good money. I guess they can afford to lease an expensive retail unit in a prime location like this one.

I think we are a couple of years away at least before we see any development action on this site. By that time Park Central 2 will be complete. The name of the thread should be changed as it is no longer Genco.

Someone is being very secretive about that corner retail unit in the first building. Windows and doors are still completely papered over as construction continues.

https://harvard.ca/ They have done a lot of different projects throughout Western Canada. Eau Claire looks to be their most ambitious.

Bingo. The community opposition is because the project will reduce available parking for visitors to Inglewood. Yep ... can't have development if there is no where for cars to park (sarcasm :rolleyes: ). I believe Kensington has reduced parking yet that has not stopped development.
