There is definitely some more need or there should be more thought put into more student housing Downtown. Hopefully a number of projects close to MacEwan go ahead for those reasons. Students are a growing important demographic to the future of Downtown.

This looked a bit upscale for student housing, but the location being so close to MacEwan does provide possibilities and potential tenants for that.

I think the project completed several blocks west seems more focused on student housing, so some is being built.

While the U of A is on the south side, I expect anything close to the downtown LRT stations will attract some students. Its also probably more affordable than closer to the University.

Let's.wait to see how receptive and demands are after 'The Parks' are completed. Perhaps there is a chance for this revival?

Not with the original group or DC.

Twas a joke.

You fixed words, but the current holder of the property has a high asking price. If they don't proceed, THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY. Our only breath to this is a resounding success to The Parks.

An absolute eyesore and disgrace and likely now to have lost the period building in the south. What could have been...

I’m guessing this could be resurrected when the Valley Line West opens.

It's a prime site with so many assets to play off of and would do wonders for that gap between 105-109sts.

Opinion: The Warhouse District grid needs to be severely narrowed, down to one lane on most streets, with trees heavily lining the streets. This should be done BEFORE people live there that would reject this.

Making the streets nicer can help encourage projects like this happening.

Sounds like the land is currently pending with a German group, short conditional period as well.

Do they have a good track record of developing land they purchase?

I'm going off 3rd party information, so wouldn't be the trusted source on that question, but I have been told they have executed a student housing project in Kelowna...so that's something?

Curious if they got the City to agree to extend the rezoning or if it reverted back.

Well student housing would be great in this area.
