I think that might be city property... I thought that whole block was the city's but maybe not.

I recall seeing on the old east village development map that Bosa owned the east half of that lot, the area thats being cleared, and west half with the parking garage was city. That was probaly 7+ years ago though when the east village was just getting started and Bosa doesn't seem to have much on the go in Alberta these days so I'd be curious to know if they still control it or not.

Would make for an excellent affordable housing site imo

Mixed use, too

Especially if the mix included a police station.

Where in the area have CPS relocated too? They were on 11th in Vic Park for a long time, then closed that right as the fentanyl crisis hit, heard they have a presence in the area again somewhere...

They're doing something right beside Hanover on 6th Ave. Not exactly in the area.

The 114-year-old Gresham Block building in Inglewood is set for demolition, according to a notice to terminate residential tenancy obtained by Postmedia from a resident.

“The demolition process at the Gresham Block Building will be starting on February 1st, 2025,” the notice states.

According to the land title for the property, Gresham Block is owned by Louson Investments, a family real estate company headed by president Justin Ryder.

Louson Investments also owns the property where the historic Western Block building once stood at the corner of 10th Avenue and 1st Street S.W.

This sucks. There are surface parking lots in Inglewood and the Beltline but, no, let's get rid of the buildings people actually like.

I am very confused.
"As of Thursday, the city says it is not aware of any redevelopment or demolition permits being issued for the site."

 

[CalgaryTiger]

It does say the process starts Feb 1. So although the city is not aware of anything doesn't mean it won't happen.

 

[Roaring Flames]

They must be pretty confidant they can get that demolition permit if they're kicking out tenants. Really hope the city denies the permit though, especially without any redevelopment proposed for the site, and the fact it's listed among the municipal historic assets.
