Yeah, it was literally the first one, the start of quite the trend. I recall West Pointe was right after that, and then the rest is a blur.

Looks like Mancal Group will build an apartment at the SW corner of Currie St and Dieppe Dr.
https://www.mancal.com/companies/mancal-properties-inc/#notable-assets
This is going to be at the SW corner of Currie St and Dieppe Dr (Block 12 Lot 1). I am confident because they use the same map as the map Colliers when they were selling these two lots.
And, we already know Porte is building at the SW corner of Dieppe Dr & Quesnay Wood Dr (Block 12 Lot 2) https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-03212
Mancal has another proposal in Marda Loop called The Gryphon https://www.mancal.com/companies/mancal-properties-inc/the-gryphon-marda-loop/

I suppose this is the new name for Plaza 34.

There is a new tower crane that has been erected in Currie. I couldn't tell which property from the Flanders overpass but I'm wondering if it is the last phase of that large senior's development.
Yep, it would have to be third phase of the seniors development.

So not an 87m tower then ?

Some updates...
Amended plans from November 10th 2025 for the U-Shaped four-story at 270 DIEPPE DR SW across Dieppe from the townhomes.
Also Currie Street looks to be a cul-de-sac.
Amended plans from April 11th 2025 for the six-story at 4230 QUESNAY WOOD DR SW next to Veranda
Speaking of Veranda... they'd like to add an event space right next to the project above.
The Anthem apartment/condos are also underway near Richardson Way. So, the area is densifying around the edges, which is good because it still leaves the central portion of the Currie, south of the single-family homes, of to be whatever some developer desires. I do think the reserve military unit needs to be relocated. It would really make that whole area blank slate.

Did you ask if CT going to be re-routing the MAX Yellow through Currie Barracks once Quesnay Wood Drive opens up through the park?

I don't think that is the plan anymore, given that Currie is not building out at the density originally envisioned. The MAX Yellow will run faster by remaining on crowchild and using Richard Road as it currently does.

I think Currie would have to be almost fully built out before they reroute the Max Yellow. They've only just completed some multi-family. I do see it making sense at some point, maybe in 10 years.

Would have been great to know that before they build the Marda Loop Station on the on-ramp. The Max Yellow is a pretty solid route with a couple of pain points - downtown's brutal lack of bus priority and this Marda Loop station location.
The problem is they put the existing station on the NB ramp onto Crowchild - making it farther with many road crossings from the areas of density and walkability focused increasingly on 34th Avenue, but also subject to long signal delay issues with existing the freeway, waiting for a light, entering the freeway again. Even with the Currie alignment the proposal would have forced a left-hand turn onto Crowchild from 33rd, again risking more delays. The trade-off was that going through Currie centrally would yield some good ridership (eventually at build out) so the risks of delays are worth it.
If the bus doesn't go to Currie, the NB Marda Loop stop is forever in an inefficient location. A better approach (had they known they were going to stay on the freeway) is build the stops into the freeway bridge with a short pedestrian tunnel under the ramp connecting directly to Safeway for the NB stop. When combined with the a SB stop on Crowchild under the bridge and some ramps and stairs we've all of sudden created a transit station in both directions that has zero at-grade crossing for busses or pedestrians, dramatically improving travel times and reliability from signals and congestion.
Consider a south-bound Max Yellow passenger heading to Marda Loop safeway area has:
- Current: 4 crosswalks (1 unprotected on a ramp), 2 signal waits, 1 unprotected
- Proposed: 0 road crossings, no signal delays.
- Current: 3 crosswalks (2 unprotected on ramps), 1 signal wait
- Proposed: 0 road crossings, no signal delays
It might seem like small stuff, but this is daily a 2 - 5 minute delay for the bus to enter and exit Crowchild here adding to every trip. For Marda Loop residents all this forced walking delays add safety issues but also real time, making a short walk into a annoying one with 2 to 5 minutes of signal delays waiting to cross a road.
