No, just means the project pencils out better due to cost/ease of construction, amount of units they think that can be absorbed in that basin, timelines for completion, ROE/IRR, etc.

while a good location, it still does not have a walkable anchor. University District got this right by having Save-On in a quite early stage. Guaranteed that did not come at zero cost to the developer.

Hasn't Currie always been a few years away? Expect it to move much quicker once the U/D starts to fill out. Won't be surprised if they eventually scale it down though...

Pretty solid infill in bankview. All six units sold for over 700k each.

A nice little proposal on 20th ave at this location with 3 small row buildings (24 units in total) replacing these three houses. FAAS is the architect.
Color me happy. I've been griping for years that 20th ave which has seem mostly duplexes built should be seeing higher densities.
FAAS has three other projects along 20th ave.
Another one here where 12 units would be replacing one house.
Another one here, where 8 units would be replacing one house
Another one here, that is proposing three buildings to replace these two houses. It previously looked to be dead, but a new permit has been submitted this year, and has already been approved and released. I'm guessing at least 16 units.
Between those four FAAS designed projects, there's also this 16 unit development proposed for 20th ave. in a 7 block stretch along 20th there are 5 proposal totaling 76 units. That's a fair number of units, that won't even be very noticeable due to their smaller scale.

Infill at the corner of 17 Ave and 24A St SW
Nice looking infill, unfortunately the complex is only six units and I believe the houses plus the basement suites that were there before were actually more units. Plus these units are starting at 1.5 mil, so not exactly affordable housing, but it does overlook confederation park so I guess it’s par for the course.

Went to Diner Deluxe in Marda Loop yesterday. Loved it and Courtyard 33. But man what a disaster all of the utility work and road detours are. Also how depressing that they bulldozed the entire block beside Courtyard 33 and it has a for sale sign. Did the developer go bankrupt? Hopefully Truman or someone buys it and puts something decent there.

I'd bet Eaglecrest or Sarina end yup buying it. Truman couldn't possibly be willing to take on more work right now lol.

Regarding the streetscape and the many, many infill retail and development projects not cancelled - one thing all this construction will reveal in about 2 years is a entirely new Marda Loop. I can't imagine what the neighbourhood will look like with functionally wide sidewalks for the first time in it's history!

Marda loop infill across from the Hudson. I really like those rounded corners.

I think RNDSQR was on the brink. Seems like they’ve gone back to their infill roots and away from the mid-rises that almost did them in.
Interestingly, I received an email from RNDSQR the other day for “m ddl School”, a crash course taught by Alkarim Devani on delivering missing middle developments (https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mddl-school-crash-course-tickets-893861292187). All for the low-low price of $528.51.
During a recent Main Streets presentation, the City mentioned that a sale of the property was pending and that the City was waiting for that sale to close so the City could use the lot for temporary public parking to alleviate the parking impacts from construction.
