Basically neighbourhood ASP density it based on all the lots. But what usually happens is the there's a few lots zoned really high that either don't get developed or eventually developed into something less dense. So many times these new neighbourhoods aren't as dense as they say they are, especially as the Edmonton Metro Region board had targets and I can think of a few examples in Leduc that have sites that have been there for over 10 years and not developed.

thanks. Helpful to understand.

Do you know if the city is extending the substantial completion targets to redeveloping areas by chance? Not just the outer henday areas.

It’d be interesting to see where some of our lowest density neighborhoods are and where the greatest opportunities for density lie. I still feel frustrated every time I see a new 6 story apartment built in car dependent suburbia, meanwhile areas like MWTC, Bonnie Doon, Oliver, Century park, SPR, Blatchford etc could all be absorbing more of that high density demand.
 
substantial completion does not apply to surrounding communities.
By outer henday, I’m referring to “developing areas” within Edmonton as designated in the substantial completion work the city is doing. The henday is the divider between “redeveloping” (inside) and “developing” (outside henday).
