30,000 people is going to need 10-15,000 homes
Wait, 30,000 people in Blatchford?? That's crazy, especially considering about a third of it is commercial/institutional and a fifth of it is a big park. I thought 20,000.30,000 people is going to need 10-15,000 homes
from blatchford’s own website “Blatchford will be home to up to 30,000 Edmontonians …”Wait, 30,000 people in Blatchford?? That's crazy, especially considering about a third of it is commercial/institutional and a fifth of it is a big park. I thought 20,000.

They are absolutely dreaming. Single family detached, row houses and duplex/triplex/fourplex accounted for 175 of Oliver's 11,595 residences. 66% of Oliver residences are in buildings 5 storeys and taller. Blatchford multifamily tops out at six storeys.I call cap. Even Oliver doesn't have 20,000 people and that's one of the densest neighborhoods in the city. And Blandford is barely larger in land area.
Lmao, just noticed that I spelled it as "Blandford." Imma keep the typo thoI call cap. Even Oliver doesn't have 20,000 people and that's one of the densest neighborhoods in the city. And Blandford is barely larger in land area.
I think the market conditions will restrict building height long before zoning rules do. Plus midrise is easier to build/operate sustainably.Maybe I missed it the first 7 times, but why didn't we put even more density around the Blatchford East Station?
particularly in a market that now includes a 66 story mixed use tower, you need to define midrise before your assertion can be either challenged or defended...I think the market conditions will restrict building height long before zoning rules do. Plus midrise is easier to build/operate sustainably.
Density does not necessarily need height.I think the market conditions will restrict building height long before zoning rules do. Plus midrise is easier to build/operate sustainably.
