This street is transforming before our eyes... keep it up!!

If they pull off something like Eleanor and Laurent here then that's a pretty big plus.

Spotted on the old funeral home across 102 ave

If Maclab can pull of another Laurent and/or Eleanor here that would be fantastic!

Confusing, given the smaller development on the lot south. This lot is not that large.

Think the parking lot behind the old funeral home would be part of the development too?

Think the parking lot behind the old funeral home would be part of the development too?

This is currently how the lots are divided on the east side of 108 street. Doesn't appear that the parking lot behind is part of it

Called the phone number on the sign (MacLab main line), they had no details to give me at this point besides that they were looking at rezoning options and to stay tuned.

I think one thing is for certain: MacLab has a vision for this area. If Westrich gets their Riley's site project off the ground, this might be the next area where we're looking back amazed at the transformation.

Thought so, I remembered seeing this. 3 separate projects + the Parks would be quite the sight

You really need 3 lots ideally for a tower, so perhaps the corner could be another 6 storey wood.

This thread is kind of all over the place - NorQuest / Parks Project / Funeral Home site / etc...

I will say this about the former Funeral Home site regarding MacLab's interest in providing student housing:

- As I said in another thread - NorQuest has zero student housing and will fill this, and Westrich's project in minutes.
- Traditional student housing and the residential offerings in the Parks Project are not the same.
- My understanding is that MacLab does not (yet) own the Carbon Graphics property, although I didn't pull the title to verify, I heard that from a higher-up at the street party they held for the Parks Project on 11 September 2024.

ABOUT NORQUEST COLLEGE:

The Downtown Campus Development Project (circa 2014 to 2023) was intended to accommodate ~5,000 full-load equivalent (FLE) learners. In the 23-24 academic year, NorQuest welcomed 11,400 FLEs (FLEs are a gov metric used to convert part-time students to the equivalent of a full-load student). The unduplicated learner count was between 20,000 and 25,000 students for the same period.

We've seen the Campus Master Plan. We see the numbers above. Stay tuned - NorQuest College will soon be on our radars for very good reasons. Or their seams will burst.

Maclab, with the Eleanor and her adjacent friend (U. of A.) as an example, knows how to ring quality architecture out of a student housing venture. It would be tremendously great news if Maclab ended up owning the entire block Parks I and II and everything north to 102nd Ave. Perhaps they have an offer in on the properties --on hold until they are able to work through the proposal stage of a development concept -- that would tickle my something-or-others.
