Great news about the site next to Simmons. I also walked by the new MODA office and noticed they have a mockup of the site east of the M2 building. I believe it's for the N site that's currently for sale.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the East Village master plan? Can't seem to find it anywhere

So by the looks of it, this site next to the Simmons will be developed by Alston Properties out of Winnipeg. Based on their website they seem to be a rental company with properties in Winnipeg, Calgary and Victoria. Seems like they have quite the eclectic group of properties with a few older buildings here in Calgary. This looks like it might be their first new build so could be good, could be crap. I've got faith CMLC will set the bar fairly high for design provided the developer doesn't play the bait and switch.

knowing Moda, that's likely their proposal, not the actual proposal. I really hope those guys can get more of their projects built! can only think of a handful that got past the proposal stage...

Totally. Don't think it's a firm proposal but at least shows there's potential interest in the site and maybe some activity in the near future

Found the executive summary hosted on the Herald's website:
Also, the East Village Neighbourhood Association (which I admit I didn't know was a thing) may be able to help:

I'm not sure if this one has been discussed in the past or not but there is a virtual information session taking place on November 23rd at 7pm. The project is called Riverpark and is located on the corner of 2nd Ave & 1st St SW. The website provides the following description:

Hmm, on the corner? I am guessing this is where that building used to be that had the angled glass coming down. It got demolished and there is a big BLM mural on the property directly to the east. With no parking on site this one could rise up nice and quick from grade. Promising.

We get to find out how much influence Terry ‘build nothing in Chinatown’ Wong has over Council

This is excellent, love this. Would be down for this scale on all the empty lots of the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods

Theres's no possible way Terry can argue this, it is perfect scale for CT and it's inoffensive. But i'm still curious to see what he comes up with for how this project will ruin the community.

He really needs to become "One Term Terry". And I'm saying that only a few weeks into his tenure.

I don't think this has been mentioned here before but there is another project in Chinatown that is being planned for 307 1St SE. 196 affordable housing units by Knightsbridge Homes. It is called Lotus
