Outside of the two larger multifamily builds (Bridgeland Multi-family and Bridgeland Mixed use) we have these smaller ones, 19 units here, another 12 there. It adds up. What I would really like to see is a 6 storey build with an urban Sobeys or Loblaws city market built on the north side of 1st Ave NE. Bridgeland is so close to the point of having its own grocer.

It must be on the way. There are quite a few sites there that are either vacant or holding a significant amount of parking/vacant land behind them. Might be tough to sell a grocery store on the limited space but the NW corner of 9 St and 1 Ave is a good candidate.

The 5 story mixed use tower by Avalon in Seton is topped out. This is the second phase after the prefab townhomes. I like the triangle windows and general massing. I never noticed an elevator shaft during construction. Is that even possible with code for residential of this height? But they might be using cinderblock after each floor was done. Not sure.

Don't think there's a thread for this one, but the building wrap has been removed, revealing that its been gutted down to the structure.

I wonder if they'll put it back up or if the building is coming down, last week the wrap had a massive tear in the middle of it so maybe it's being replaced

I'm hoping its being renovated or converted rather than torn down. I'll see if I can find some Intel tomorrow.
