Not sure if it's been discussed but saw signs up for this development on the corner of 34th Ave and 20th St in Mardaloop

News to me. A nice corner project of good scale that gives 34th some more attention.

New video out on the Glenbow Renovations. The rooftop patio looks cool but the rest is quite 'meh'. I think there was a really cool opportunity for a grand central staircase that won't be happening.

Rooftop patio and exterior are nice. The inside is decent, but not magnificent.

Could be some really nice density for Bridgeland, too bad it's all seniors housing, and not a mix of seniors and regular.

Anyone know what's happening to the old pharmacy on the corner of Elbow Drive SW (26 Ave SW) and 4th Street SW? There's now fencing up around the building and there's some kind of action on the site.

That's a prime piece of real estate right there. I always thought if they were going to keep that building, a redevelopment into a brewery would have been absolutely mint for that location.

liquor store? hopefully not

My guess when I ran by there the other day was that Safeway was going to put in a liquor store now that their redevelopment of the grocery store is complete.

That would make 3 liquor stores on 4th south of 17th Ave with Bin 905 being only 2 blocks away.

I heard Safeway/Sobeys were tearing down the building to expand the parking lot...

It'd be nice if they could utilize that spot with a small coffee shop or kiosk of some kind.

not advocating for more parking but that lot gets super tight at times. i could see why they would do it.

Whatever they are doing is probably temporary. There are plans for that site.

Just going to speculate wildly here: taking down the pharmacy makes the site prime for a phased redevelopment sooner rather than later.
