Interesting comparison, Canderel recently hired the former head of University of Calgary Properties Group (the team that developed University District) to lead the development of Taza. I think it is in good hands. The comparison is apt, as the lands on U/D remain under University ownership, so all of the buildings are on 99 year leases, a similar set-up to Taza I think.

That’s great news! The block plan seems fine in general, and it looks like it proposes a great deal of density and good mix of uses. These large greenfield developments can just end up feeling a little too much like Disney World.

I really like what they’ve done in U/D. It feels about as organic as a greenfield development can.

One way that Taza could feel more organic than U/D is through exterior material choices, but obviously that comes at a cost.
 
Weird that they've united 3 unconnected developments as Taza:
* Taza Park (Glenmore & 37th)
* Taza Crossing (west end of 90th/Southland)
* Taza Exchange (west end of Anderson)

And I think Taza Park also includes the land across Glenmore from Westhills (Tsuu Tina Parkway?)

Curious to see the residential that will be on offer... From the article:

“We are currently planning Phase Two at that development likely to include a grocery anchor, a restaurant and potentially residential. We are starting the site work in the spring of 2024 and we’re working on agreements right now with potential tenants and some of them will initiate construction next summer and some of them will be in 2025.”

Buffalo Run is your typical suburban strip mall but nice to see it adding residential nearby.

In Taza Park, which is the land around the Grey Eagle Resort and Casino, the auto dealership Metro Ford has opened as well and Big Four will open too and construction is underway for a Volkswagen dealership. A couple of more dealerships are to come as well.

With Wolfe moving west of West Stoney, I assume these might be net new dealerships.

“We are launching our residential project in Taza Park next fall and we are currently in conversations with residential builders about sites in that neighbourhood and we are currently starting conversations with tenants for our Main Street in Taza Park which will include everything from grocery stores and pharmacies to boutique fitness and restaurants,” said Robertson. “Things are going well. Obviously a long way to go from ideas to creation but I think everyone’s excited about the opportunity.”

More residential is never a bad thing and I think they're moving forward with a retail/commercial development, is that the Main Street?
 
I saw this on LinkedIn. I am not entirely sure where this is, I assume in the Eagle Landing portion of the project highlighted a few pages ago. It seems a lot of the websites/links related to this project have changed and it is not really consistent. Hopefully that improves as they launch a bigger marketing campaign with the opening of this presentation centre;

A construction update was posted on the development's blog, along with a bit more information. Most of the websites related to this project changed and removed information from a year ago. It looks like they were retooling their site plan for Taza Park a bit over that time. Quite a bit of information can be found in this blog post from August:

CONSTRUCTION AT TAZA PARK RAMPS UP: COMMUNITY VILLAGE TAKING SHAPE - Taza

Picture a vibrant Retail Main Street, charming walkways, and various green spaces - just a taste of what makes this 470-acre gem on Tsuut’ina Nation so extraordinary.As part of the 1,200-acre development, Taza Park is one of the Three Villages, each with its own attractions, amenities and living...

Some of the density looks to be scaled back a bit from some of the earlier renderings / masterplans. Hopefully we can get more information as the community engagement centre gets closer to opening, and they begin to announce more developments for this area.

What do we think Mixed Use Entertainment is?

Resort/casino expansion/retail?? Possibly a performing arts venue.

Pure speculation: I do think they at least informally reached out to CSEC to see if they wanted to build a hockey/football complex there... I could see a Stadium working there. If orientated right, could have a really nice mountain view.
 
Yeah no doubt. Even a rodeo grounds would be sick. A west facing grandstand.
 
I guess it's been open for a few months now based on google reviews, but there is a gas station near the dealerships with fancy new pumps. A section of rough dirt road if you come from 37 St, but it's quick and easy access off Stoney (with a caveat that you can't get back on to NWB Stoney until they connect to Westhills Way, but SB Stoney / NB Sarcee / EB Glenmore are all quick.
