Developing the parking lots are probably something they'd like to do. Just not in a rush to do it. If Chinook Station gets an adjacent regional rail station in the next 10 years, you can bet CF won't hesitate. I'm sure it will be between Chinook and Anderson for a South Calgary stop.

Still think it's a missed opportunity for something better in such a prime site. It deserves a development like Station Square in Metrotown or at least something bland and tall with placemaking retail units like the City of Lougheed towers.

Agreed, it would be nice to see some more comprehensive plan for the area surrounding Chinook Station, but at the same time given the big box stores and strip malls around it, it could be a long wait. I'm treating this as a step forward.

Yeah, I wish they could develop the parking lot of chinook and make it looks like metro town or Brentwood

In due time, all is possible.

Bad quality but noticed this leaving chinook madness yesterday.

Interested to see how the area will turn out afterwards. I live close by and that area (bc of chinook station) is horrible at the moment with the homeless, drug activity, theft etc. Also how about a proper walkable grocery store nearby with this happening?

I think it’ll help the area. CF isn’t the type of landlord to built something low rent, so the new buildings should add some good residents to the area. This could and probably will spur on more development to the area.

Is there a grocer in Chinook Centre or is that gone now?

Was there a grocer at one point?

Two at one pont:

-Woodward's Food Floor from the mall's opening in the early 60s. It was sold to Safeway in the mid 80s and closed in the early 90s. That section of the mall was demolished in the late 90s to build the theatre
-Super-Valu on west side of the mall extending into the parking lot from near where Boston Pizza is now. This was demolished around the late 80s
