No, this is the Metro 78 site the houses are being demolished (if they haven't already).

What is happening is that in the developer's schedule, Metro 78 is the third project on the queue because it is the most complex. If you have a chance, check out the first one on 87 Ave and 110 St in Garneau West which is close to completion. We fought tooth and nail on the rezoning. The original UCRH was referred back to Administration, so we created a DC2 and got some support from the Garneau Community League and the adjacent neighbour. This development is very close to completion aiming for the fall.

Since these things are never easy, last month we had to deal with an appeal to SDAB on the development permit issued for the Altarius mid-rise development on 86 Ave and 111 St. Last week we got the decision from SDAB - we won! Now we are moving on to the building permit to hit the ground in November.

the update on the Metro 78 is not fancy but things are advancing as planned. Although the rezoning was approved last December, there were several conditions on the sales agreement with the City before we could start thinking about the DP. This is all resolved now, so the project is moving to the design stage. The GSA team is designing the plaza, so I will share something here in the future.

Awesome. Thanks for the update! Excited for the project.

This project is such a textbook example of how long the development process can take - good for folks here to read through this thread and see the project's history. Development isn't always straightforward and can take time, even when capital is in place.

Not a surprise, per Marcolangzi’s post, but the houses are indeed demolished.

Another update on this one.

The development permit was submitted late last year and we’ve received the first set of comments from the City.

We anticipate submitting the revised package in a few weeks.
