Thanks for putting those stats together. I think it shows an encouraging trend on row houses but it’s the mid-rises (and taller buildings eventually) that will be where the real catch up happens. Already with the mid-rises in the pipeline you can see how that’s where the real density happens...

I feel like some of the comments over the last couple days are missing that there are more townhomes being built each year, there is one 5-6 storey under construction with 2 more appearing to be ramping up for imminent work and 3 more in the pipeline… There are hundreds of units and some true...

More steel today... If winter ever ends, it is looking like a big construction year for Blatchford.

Fence went up around the huge lot beside the Tomato Playground this week. Hopefully we’ll see some real action here soon!

I wonder if the Metis Nation scaled back their ambitions and are just focusing now on the one building that is planned to be started this year. Perhaps elements of this can be part of the Urban Reserve plan coming back to council later this year but it seems like a different project.

Blatchford is gonna need more access points than just this one and the two on Kingsway soon as the planned apartment buildings start going up!

Kids play place going in on Airport Road. Hopefully this brings some more eyeballs to the neighbourhood so people know it exists!

Is waterproofing the shoring the last step before we start seeing foundation work?

I have the same thought re retirement/assisted living. Makes a ton of send to be close to the RAH and the Hys Centre. As for the Humpty's site, isn't that the same company that has been working on the St. A Square site in St Albert for years?

I hope they are doing 6A from this map you posted a few months ago as well. I think it is important to get that area going as well.

Those garages are providing housing for hundreds. Of pigeons.

With two more applications for development permits for apartment buildings now in the hopper, I count over 600 apartment units between all of the approved or in review development permits. Obviously, development permit applications do not mean something gets built, but it is definitely a great...

The development permit for the multifamily across Alpha Blvd by the same architect was just approved recently, correct? I wonder if they were working out the kinks on that application before submitting these? And hopefully that is a sign that there won't be too many issues on these?

Wouldn't call that inspiring... Where are these renders from?

Anything about the plaza just south of the promenade, beside the energy centre? I have no concept of what that might look like.

I think Crimson Cove is behind this one and they had previously indicated that there would be at least two more similar buildings in that area. Let's hope they do not get cold feet!

What do the notification dates mean for these developments since they are discretionary?

I am going to take a more optimistic view. I think the Metis Housing one will definitely start and there is a greater than 50% change that one other one starts.

I know it will never be enough for some people, but between the one multi-unit building currently under construction and the three awaiting development permits, it is possible that there will be well over 400 units of multi-unit housing in some stage of construction this year. Plus the...

On this, I understand there are serious code issues in the way of anything happening with the tower beyond making it pretty on the outside. Maybe not impossible to bring it up to code, but pretty close...
