Nothing exciting, but just in case anyone was wondering what was being built in the empty lot across the street from McK/Belgravia LRT Station.

I'm just glad the previous house is finally gone!

The guy owned one of those junk cleanup services, and he was hoarding all kinds of stuff he'd picked up in about 10 garden sheds on the property. He was also renting the house out by the room, and it was "furnished" with very sketchy looking furniture, I suspect also from his junk pickup business.. 🤢

And thankful to not have to look at that crudely spraypainted "HOUSE FOR SALE" sign he had prominently displayed in the front yard.

Are you thinking of the site on the SE corner of 114 Street and 76 Ave?

That's the one......so this isn't that lot?

**EDIT** - I read @fromyeg's post wrong. I inadvertently misinterpreted it as "across the street" from Ian's project, rather than the station...my bad...

Might look like Ed Gooch, but its by Start Architecture and they do a lot of institutional design. The guts of the building are definitely closer to what you would see in long term care facilities. There are actually four towers, similar to the ones you see in the picture you posted. Still, definitely odd exterior design. It should be a fairly big development, though.

Thats a pretty dated design. Get ride of the top and it will be ok.

Major Development Permit
StatusApproved
Permit DateMar 24, 2025
NeighbourhoodMCKERNAN
Address100, 7521 - 114STREET NW
Legal DescriptionPlan 2222002 Blk 3 Lot 26
Description of DevelopmentTo construct a Residential building (80 Dwelling Multi-unit Housing building with an underground Parkade).
ZoningRM

There is a DP for that lot. No signs of action yet though.
 
Rezonings for tomorrow:
Small Scale Housing

  • Mayfield: A move from RS to RSM h12 to make room for small- to medium-scale housing—think row housing with a bit more height and site coverage.
  • Belvedere: A shift from RS to RSM h14 to allow a mix of small- to medium-scale housing, including low-rise apartments and row housing, adding gentle density in an established area.
  • Westmount: Out with the old DC2.1126, in with a standard RSM h12 zone that makes it simpler to build a range of small- to medium-scale housing without a set of out-dated regulations.
  • Highlands: From RS to RSM h12—allowing new small- to medium-scale housing that blend into the existing neighbourhood context while adding more housing choice.
  • Strathcona: This RS to RSM h12 rezoning would expand housing options in one of the most walkable neighbourhoods in the city.
  • Forest Heights: From RS to RSMh12 to allow a mix of small- to medium-scale housing forms—giving this mature neighbourhood more flexibility for gentle density.


Medium and Large Scale Housing

  • Inglewood: This application swaps a mixed-use zone (MU h16 f3.5 cf) for a residential zone of equivalent height (RM h16), making way for a low-rise apartment building without the requirement for commercial space on the main floor.
  • Delwood: A pair of sites currently zoned CN and RS is up for rezoning to MU h16 f2.0, setting the stage for a mixed-use development consisting of residential, commercial, and/or community uses.
  • Mayfield: Another one for Mayfield — this rezoning from RS to RM h16 would allow low-rise apartments, adding more housing choices in a redeveloping area.
  • Calder: The proposed rezoning from RS to MUN would enable a neighbourhood-scale mixed-use development.
  • Boyle Street: This application proposes changing the zoning from industrial (IM) to mixed use (MU h23 f3.0), supporting the ongoing evolution of the Stadium District Node into a more active and livable urban area.
  • Allendale: A proposed rezoning from RS to RM h16 to enable a low-rise residential building that creates a thoughtful transition between the denser development along the Gateway Boulevard/Calgary Trail Primary Corridor and the surrounding residential neighbourhood.
Employment and Industrial

  • McArthur Industrial: This application would rezone from Agriculture (AG) to Business Employment (BE), updating the zoning to match how the site is already being used. The change supports ongoing programming and community services at the Peter Lougheed Multicultural Village and allows for light industrial and commercial uses.

This is an excellent summary.

If you’re able to let us know what the decisions are tomorrow that would be great! (I have a hard time finding the results of the votes.) If it’s too much trouble then no worries!

Will if I have time. If I don't, here's how you can check:

1. Go to https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/council-committee-meetings/
2. Once a meeting has passed, click on it and select "Minutes" in either HTML or PDF. I'm not sure exactly how long it takes for the minutes to be published.
3. Any motion/vote will have the result in bold on the right.

Unfortunately, it's not concise by any means and there's no compiled list of carried/defeated rezonings at a glance, so it's really only quick to check specific results. You can check a public hearing from last month for an example, item 3.26 was an RM rezoning in Belgravia, and it passing third reading means the rezoning went through.

No picture as I was driving, but this is well underway. Steel framing for 3 floors is up, no walls or glazing yet though. Looks like it'll have a nice presence beside their residential 'tower'
