I'm not 100% current on code interpretation but if the first floor ceiling/second floor floor is concrete and provides a 4 hour fire separation, I think you could do a six story frame structure on top of it... Elevator shafts and other penetrations would need some interesting detailing - possilbly fire shutters and/or? - but I think it would be possible. It's not dissimilar to what was done "in the field" when four storys was the maximum height for frame construction.A seven story stibutck frame instead of a 6!!

51 Ave east of the CPR tracks on the north side has a bunch of earth movers and equipment flattening out the site. This has been empty for seems forever. Could not see a sign describing what is getting built though.

East of Gateway BLVD and the tracks…..by the Eco Recycling Center? Between the tracks and PCL’s HQ? That lot?

They have to smash both of their warehouse style buildings in the back, PLUS move existing parking to make way for the new Building and parkade….so they’re doing some moving and shaking first beforehand

Link to the post, it is a video
I think it is #1! The drone takes off from just above the treeline, if it were #3 you would see the other buildings across Jasper at that level. You can also see a chainlink fence at the very start, and there's no fence or trees around site #2. #1 has a chainlink fence if you check on streetview.
It might also be that small lot behind Watari, but it's too small to go to the height they are suggesting in the video.

New development permit for the former CapitalCare Greenfield site (behind the NoFrills on 40 Ave).

Here's some more from the document. Their plan is to develop the site over a period of eight years (I'm guessing that just refers to utilities, surface infrastructure, and landscaping), and it'll have a maximum of 4,200 units. I want to be hopeful, but they say multiple times throughout the document that Times Square was already built in 2015-18 (at the same time as The Louvre and Century Tower), and it just worries me a little that they're off by a whole building.

Ambitious but doable if the stars align.

Very reminiscent of the university district in Calgary, but every building is like twice the height
