By the U last week. and drove by Lister Hall. The upgrades and renovations look complete in the first building. Noticed the Solar Panels as well. Looks like they are gutting the units and replacing all the windows. New Res is beside.

Drove by this last night and was wondering when something is going to go up there.
We need something new and hopefully nice to distract from the hideous paint by numbers building in front of it, and the fugly Peregrine Point across the street from that.

This has been up for sale for a long time now. Happy to hear something is in the works. Hopefully this spurs more development south of Jasper on 105 Street

I am sorry to say that this is not actually a new building, but a temporary trailer for one of those 'ghost kitchens'. Let down indeed!
Boo!

Ugggh...
SPR at 127 Street. Personally would have rather seen the commercial district extended to this property, but this ain't bad.

Hey, I just thought of something cool: I was zooming around Google Earth and stopped by the massive Elmwood Townhomes site and then imagined the Misericordia Station being right across the street, then it hit me! This site, with it's massive size, amenity access (WEM) and future mass transit connection is the perfect TOD opportunity, one of the best in the whole city if you ask me. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't be surprised if down the line (
) we see a developer pick this up in the near future and announce a massive project

That site would be TODally perfect!

^^Jeez, I've passed by there hundreds of times but somehow I've never noticed just how sparsely developed it is. That's a lot of green space for a townhouse complex.
Lots of these around the city, built to fill a critical demand for housing after the war, on what was cheap land at the time. Having lived in one of these complexes (in Athlone), I can say they definitely weren't built to last. But they do currently provide market-affordable housing.

Thanks for the research, Citizen Dane (about Milla Pub)
