One that area is completed, I hope they do not stop there. I would love to see this area just east of it redeveloped with a similar vision in mind.

Honestly, I'd rather they moved west into MCCauley with the redevelopment, instead of this little eastern nook. It's a charming place as it is, and would do very little in terms of vibrancy, etc, whereas the triangle between 97 st, 107ave and the rail RoW would benefit a lot from a higher density, and connect the Stadium area and Downtown a lot better

There are restrictive covenants in place for a majority of the properties in that little enclave, so I highly doubt we'll see any redevelopment happen there ever. It's also a very nice little area filled with some beautiful homes, so it really shouldn't be redeveloped anyways, covenants or not

Yeah sure but that ain't "peak convenience". I don't live northeast of the station, I live northwest of the station, so walking to save-on from the station requires an unpleasant detour on foot.

If they opened one in the corner of 106 ave and 85 street to so, I'd be packing my stuff to move there
 
There should be a convenience store named 7ways that's in the same building as Panini's restaurant.

But it is kinda hard, and expen$ive to do your groceries at a convenience store, hahaha.

I don't think there's enough density there to justify another grocery store as of now, with Save On Foods right there and a Freshco right up 82 st and 118 ave, considering this is still a very low density area, but if the Stadium area keeps adding up residents and other businesses, there might as well be demand for something like the small Safeway we have in Oliver.
 
I'm surprised real estate developers don't partner with grocery stores more often. Personally, I'd pay a $100-$200 premium to live beside a grocery store (maybe even more if it was a cheap one with a big selection). Way less food waste and you can always make whatever you'd like. That Superstore in downtown Calgary would be perfect if it wasn't right beside the drop-in centre.

Don't forget the Italian Centre on 95 Street (better than either Save On or Freshco). The crappy thing about the road layout is that it's not far 'as the crow flies' from Stadium Yards, but with only a couple of rail crossings over the LRT tracks (and Commonwealth Stadium and Rec Centre and Lafarge in the way), the distance to walk is much further.
 
Unless they're doing a massive all-in-one underground parkade for towers and low-rise, that looks like the cookie cutter for what they just did next door. No it is not finished.
I was just surprised to see pilings around 3weeks ago as I was not expecting this phase to start so quickly.
