I’ve often thought the simplest solution is for the property taxes to remain at the same level as they were in the year prior to demolition until such time as the site is redeveloped. To make it comply with the MGA, it could simply be a permit condition caveat registered on title and not technically a property tax.

That would effectively be enough for them to cut their losses and sell. A more competent developer might get a solid deal on the land if this happened.

What you've been waiting for!

Vacant Downtown Lot Survey - October 2025

The City is currently addressing the conditions at a vacant lot at the former site of the Bank of Montreal building located at 101 Street and 101 Avenue NW. We want to hear from you about your experiences with the property so we can better understand its impact on the surrounding community.

The City needs to build a case against the owners to move forward with action. Please take the time to fill out!

Also done.

fait accompli!

 

[ADob]

Done and passed on to all and sundry! I may have all-caps yelled at them at one point, I will admit.

 

[Gronk!]

Done.
However, I question whether this will result in any concrete action. I worry that this will continue to be an eyesore for another 1 or 2 decades.

Filled it out with glee. I laughed when I saw one of the options to the question "what impact does this property have on the surrounding community" was very positive. I know they have to have it listed, but still.

 

[ADob]

Well, it does make everyone else look fabulous by comparison, so there's that!

Done. Also, this is a neat view:

 

[JMatt88]

Done. I also made sure to share my disdain for all the vacant properties on 99th street between 80th avenue and Scona Road hehe.

 

[CplKlinger]

Done. Also, this is a neat view:

Imagine the presence the Tegler Building would have had, and how it would have complimented the adjacent LRT line. Hopefully this property gets sold to a developer with the vision, resources, and dedication needed to bring something like this back.

Was such a beautiful building

Hard to look at it and then relate to some of the crap getting built today.
