I sat in on this facade improvement; it is primarily for the sunken retail, but will look a bit updated.

A commercial building on the south end of Fort Saskatchewan finally got its first tenant (a veterinary clinic) in the ~1.5 years that it's been finished. Hopefully it's the first of many businesses to come! The building's address is: 9301 Wilshire Blvd, Fort Saskatchewan, AB T8L 0W9.

When I went by a while ago, I noticed some of the decorative brick work around the base in some spots was not in good condition, which is too bad because I liked it.
Looks like some new work taking place at or replacing the Crystal Glass shop on Whyte just west of 99 Street:

Here are a couple of Fort Sask updates that I'll put under one post.
1. The downtown Husky station is boarded up and word on the street (AKA the informal community Facebook page) is that it had been losing money for years and head office finally decided to tear it down. I checked the city website and there are no pending or approved permits for redevelopment or rezoning as of yet, so it is either being torn down, or the rumours are wrong and it's being renovated. The Mayor commented on the Facebook thread about this, saying that she will ask the folks at the planning department about this on Monday. This google maps link is so that you can see it on Streetview, because the attached image (from Facebook) is very poor quality.
If you're interested, here's a picture of the station in 1982, when it was still a Mohawk.
2. A while back, the Square One professional Centre (google maps link, news article) had its rezoning request approved by council so that it could add three stories, and shift from a professional centre to a fifty-unit seniors residence with retail on the main floor. The existing pharmacy, daycare, and dentist were allowed to remain. Nothing new has happened since then, but a lot of businesses inside the centre have closed since then. This includes the Rexall pharmacy, which had been there for many years and was right across the street from a senior's home. Since there's been such an exodus, I wonder if the owners of the building have been letting leases expire so that they can do more with the building than they otherwise could have. No building permits are pending yet, and the name of the owners has not been released, so we can only speculate for now.

The City is soliciting the sale of three designated heritage homes in the Oliver area. Here's hoping someone creative steps forward to buy them:

@_Citizen_Dane_, that's great news for the potential of these beautiful properties. Amazing location in booming Oliver and up-zoning to DC-1 hopefully bring forward a winning proposal that preserves/updates the properties and adds residential/commercial. Looks like lots of room to developed on the West/alley side of the properties? Clicking on "view listing' within the link you posted provides a great overview. Thank you!

How amazing would it be if these became cafes, restaurants and other local amenities.The City is soliciting the sale of three designated heritage homes in the Oliver area. Here's hoping someone creative steps forward to buy them:

Victory Cafe (now gone) in Toronto was one of my favourite haunts.

Conversions such as this MAKE neighbourhoods and drive people to want to live, work, play, learn, enjoy and bring people to them.

Midtown marks a national first for sustainable community design
Canada’s first ever Built Green certified community is under construction in the greater Edmonton region.

The "yoga" lawns sold me, haha. Built Green’s Communities Pilot sounds really good. But as to the title of the Journal article, "A National First"? - or just journal marketing? I think Canada is starting to see lots of "sustainable community design". Blatchford comes to mind. Great price points at 300's for a townhouse, and lots of good thought into the concept. Maybe this project is a "first' for this organization regarding sustainable community design? That's what I'm not following...

It's not the first to be a sustainable development or so, just the first to hold this specific certification, which comes attached with certain standards (mostly based on a few successful European developments).
