Progress looks good, and they even buried the telephone poles. Shame about the trees, but progress is progress I guess.

Oak & Olive site prep (Demolition of the former West Springs Church)

A photo update from West District today:
The extension of 81st Street, north from West Park, is coming along, with catchbasins and the sub base installed by the looks of it:
And if you look in the background of that photo, you can see that the first building of Trico's West 83rd Townhomes is under construction.
The piles have been driven in for Plaza:
Parkade excavation is coming along for Mondrian:
There is a pile driver on site for Oak & Olive, but it doesn't look like work has started yet, just site preparation. Should be soon though:
The public realm is being constructed in front of Newberry, it will be similar to what is already in front of Mulberry, with a regional path and some boulevard trees by the looks of it:
The landscaping is getting planted at Newberry as well, shouldn't be long before residents can move in:
Excavation at the Quarters is coming along
Parkside is slowly moving towards completion:
And some equipment is now down in Radio Park, it looks like they are going to be building it / finishing it this year. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Not the best photo, but it was too muddy to walk up closer for my liking, but you can see that a crane base has been installed at Mondrian:

The DP drawings for the Trico townhoms are now posted. Just elevations, and no site plan from the looks of it. They look to be more traditional in design, and less modern than the Truman ones built.
Pretty typical of all of them.

I bet they will be very similar to the ones that Trico built just to the west, on 85th Street:

Truman should have forced them to work with S2!!
This really ruins the vibe. I was hoping for something more University District-like.
I think Truman forced them to use better materials...

There has been an empty parcel of land just off 85th Street, near West District, left undeveloped since the neighbourhood of West Springs was first established. A couple years back, a sign appeared advertising a new development on the site called "West Springs Landing."
I was hoping this lot would be developed by Truman, but I found a brochure for the development today and it seems to just be a run-of-the-mill strip mall with a small four-storey residential component in the far end of the lot.
A bit unfortunate, but to be expected for the area, considering the rest of 85th street is lined with these types of developments.

I saw a crane piece go by on 85th Street this morning, so the crane for Mondrian may be going up today.

Going up
I believe there will also be a second crane at The Mondrian, since it consists of two buildings. (When Gateway was constructed, they used two cranes)
The Quarters (1 crane) and Plaza West District (2 cranes) are also almost fully excavated, so they should have cranes soon as well. Oak and Olive will add another two on top of that, and if Adelaide (2 cranes?) breaks ground this year, we could be seeing up to nine cranes going at once!

Crane is fully up now (didn't get close but it is pretty visible out here):

New park rendering
Oh, also, I noticed they removed the Save-on Foods "Swoop" from their latest promotional renderings of Oak & Olive. Maybe they've secured a different grocery tenant?

Or, maybe the second one IS the old rendering from before they got Save-on as their anchor and they just mixed up the images in their newest post.

New renderings of "Radio Park" by CivicWorks. Apparently they are finalizing the design and will begin construction soon.

Newberry is now (mostly) complete, with Newberry 1 already having move-ins and just a few finishing touches left on Newberry II.
Work on Parkside is still plugging along:
Excavation for The Quarters seems to have bottomed out:
Concrete pour happening at Mondrian:
Excavation work at Plaza is ongoing:
The first townhome building of Trico's West 83rd Phase 1 is now up:
Trico has also started to market the west phase of 8 single family homes that are planned just south of the West 83rd townhomes:

No home construction yet, but the road is underway for the lot frontages:
Here is the updated community map, showing the Trico SFH phase and the new status for Newberry:

I meant to post this yesterday, but I noticed that drilling has started on Oak & Olive now too (on Monday, after I went through with my update on Sunday). Here is the photo, I will update the front page map to show it as under construction:
Looking forward to watching Oak and Olive rise.

When do you think the access to stoney trail via old Banff coach road will be open to public? Along with the entire west ring road stretch in Oct 24 or earlier ? I'm moving to West springs soon and am curious.
