The much larger pub/bar crowds lead me to disagree. There is a market-wide (and much publicized) move away from dining-in and would suggest that the market is simply rebalancing in response to changes in behaviors.

Fair comment, but Whyte is also at capacity for seats and so things have few options and naturally migrate to the core, but the market-wide (and much publicized) move away from drinking/party bars/clubs is also seeing responses to this behaviour.

From the sounds of everyone it would seem like the nightlife and overall scene downtown are improving though.

I’m honestly hoping this isn’t just mass confirmation bias hope delusion on our part, but delusion turns into perception which turns into reality.
I’m all for it.

I feel it is also. For every high profile fast food place closing, we have a much less well covered opening of a high end steak place that moved downtown and several new clubs.

Project aims to entice families, spur development
A proposed downtown catalyst project that has been discussed for more than a decade became more real this month, when the city released its preliminary design, including interesting features, for Warehouse Park.

Eeeee Gaaadd! What a horrid wasteland right in the middle of our core....this can't come fast enough. Btw, "2300 units under construction ADJACENT to the park......" Does that # seem a tad high? If all the proposals and phases are included as well..... I presume that's what they mean......Project aims to entice families, spur development

Well that was a very interesting quote considering this is slated to be finished in late 2025

how many units in the parks? maybe they're counting that plus another they expect to get underway soon?

I recall 2300 being the penultimate number for everything around the park.

Ya, for approved rezonings or DP's. The Parks is around 1000 if both phases go ahead.

So 2300 units "under construction" is a bit of a stretch then

Warehouse Park development permit application will be submitted in the next few weeks.

I suspect this is the total of everything proposed, some of which is unlikely to happen soon if ever. I wish politicians and bureaucrats would be more grounded in reality here and not wander off to what may be fantasy land.
It sounds nice, but it doesn't help their credibility.

So the city has to submit a permit application to the city?
