Here is a map with a 800m radius around grocery stores (about a 10 minute walk) close to transit in the inner city. Green is full service, yellow is for hippie/specialty/ independent
stores minus smaller grocers like Lina's.

There is Brentwood too, though it isn't mainstreet-y. Eventually though. Britannia if you have more money. Sirocco station for even more suburban. Southland but that is pushing it.

Would prefer the block with Merchant's get redeveloped, but this one could be good too if it's a proper urban format...

Does anyone know the story behind this property? 39 acres next to Edworthy Park for $12.7M. It's got a fairly nondescript 4bd home on it that you can see from the Trans-Canada:

This is a good example of a location that might need to locate the grocery on the second floor, and have CRU's at-grade, as the north, east and south property line's should all be active edges for the most part. Grocery store's require back of house and loading, I hope they don't screw this one up

 

[CBBarnett]

Looks like you're right, it's the lot across the street to the south. Still a nice lot to develop, and makes more sense given the size of the lot. Popeye's looks like it might have actually been a grocery store at one time.

Calgary Co-op to redevelop Marda Loop Village with grocery store, housing

Calgary Co-op is looking to reinvent its grocery shopping experience with an urbanized shop on property being purchased in the core of Marda Loop.

This is great news, I was wondering what would come from Marda Loop's core address, I imagine it was a highly sought after parcel given all the other interest in the area for the past decades. Co-op has some more to prove on the execution side, however if they find a good partner and lean into the urban format vibe they are working on, this could be a real hub of the pocket of pedestrian-oriented urbanism forming there.

It's been fun to watch Co-op realize that it generates huge value to the community as the forest of condos and apartments around Midtown Co-op grow thicker and thicker. Of course, it's always multiple factors, but someone could (and has based on their actions) develop a narrative that Midtown's existence has helped spur like 3,000 apartments units within a block and $1B of investment that Co-op is now trying to capture in future development. Co-op is becoming an interesting case of that never-ending debate of whether investment spurs growth vs. growth spurs investment.

Definitely prefer the other block, but my guess is it will follow suite at some point if this one gets developed.

Too bad the economy wasn't better, would be great for some philanthropist to snag that and donate it to the city to expand Edworthy.

If memory serves correctly, this was the site of a proposed private club (a la Glencoe or Winter Club). The old websites seem inactive, but here is the old thread from SSP:

What is A DC land use? It looks like they want to take a park and develop it? Why is this a good thing?

 

[MichaelS]

DC stands for Direct Control. It basically means the rules from a stock land use district would not apply for what they hope to achieve, and so they need to make a modification to them for this specific parcel of land.

Also, while it may be a grass field in its current state (and perhaps always has been), it is not a public park, it is a privately held piece of property that the owner has a right to develop.

Thanks, I didn't realize it was private property. I thought for some reason the developer was purchasing a park from the City

Apparently Cadillac Fairview is still planning the massive expansion of Chinook that has been talked about for 7 years. I wouldn't imagine anything will go down any time soon, but it's nice to know.
