Update to this:
DP for more soil remediation issued on December 9, 2025.. The lot (still owned by Imperial Oil) is also for sale:

I'm surprised (pleasantly so) that this is getting developed. Seems very difficult to reach.

Those homeowners have to be sweating... I wonder if they pool together their own offer to buy.

Don't think we'll see anything go there anytime soon, full listing says there is estimated to be remediation required that exceeds the assessed value of the site, albeit I am not sure if that clause is included solely to eliminate any potential liability.

Ideally IOL just completes all required environmental remediation and donates it to the City to remain as a green space/green privacy barrier.

They have done remediation on that property at least twice. The last was a full removal. I suspect the old tanks leaked more than realized. Hell that was an old station when I was young.

When was the station decommissioned?

That's a groat idea.

Ouch, that pun made me groat.

I believe their head tenant is leaving and so maybe inevitable, but a bit of a shame given that it was nice to have some updated office in that area.

Does Procura still own this asset?

 

[scyeg]

Updated, sure, but from what I've seen in that building, it was really lacking in maintenance. Maybe with so few tenants, they just became complacent.

Where is WSP moving to?

^ Rumor has them moving to an office building in the core on or adjacent to 101st street, a more central location to be sure. Maybe (and I mean just maybe) they will be a new tenant in the Connect Centre as it comes back to life. WSP on 109th street will be renamed and converted to residential as noted above.

The more residents living in the downtown area, the merrier! However, WSP does have the Central Social Hall that is transformed into a nightclub on weekend nights so I wonder if that will be an issue with residential conversion?

The building where Greta Bar is across the street seems to be doing fine.

It's great to see office to residential conversions without Calgary levels of financial subsidies tbh.
