Work on Beljan’s Ritchie Hub on Whyte Ave is well underway.

Eastbound Whyte Ave recently closed for utility work.

Not sure what’ll be going in here.

I assume they’ll put in a BRT stop at Whyte and 96th St?

It would be nice if there were some streetscape improvements on Whyte between 96th and 99th St, but don’t think it’s part of the Old Strathcona Public Realm renewal. Maybe one day.

8636 108th St NW in Garneau. I'm not exactly sure what the deal is—I didn't take a close look at the signage—but from searching around online, it looks to be a project called Holland House. By the looks of it, four townhomes with secondary suites?

Update:

 

[Barnaby]

8 stairwells of wasted space. I like the product given the current restrictions, but I do think a lot of living space is being lost to the skinny townhouse design compared to what could be built with SES on the same lot.

Happy to see 8 homes where there was 2.

Dumb question: Is this a product of legal restrictions alone? Couldn't this complex legally have had two staircases per building instead of four?

In case anyone else didn't recognize the address, it's the Union Bank Inn.

This is an Ed Gooch special (maybe won't be so bad if they pick decent materials):

Replacing a couple of old homes with this. Now if they can go a bit south and build on lot just north of Value Village that would make for a big change.

I don't like how they painted the brick.

not a fan of chainlink fence in a residential setting.

Amateur vibes all around

Did ARH buy them? This is their MO 100% — fresh black/grey/white exterior paint (esp on brick) and then a black chainlink fence.

 

[Barnaby]

Yes this is the work of ARH.
