124 Street BIA / Westmount General Discussion

"He said the City of Edmonton declared the building derelict, meaning its annual property taxes had jumped from around $7,000 to $21,000 per year by the time the mural was commissioned in 2024. Casia has received a demolition permit and expects to knock the building down in the next few weeks. After that, Casia plans to build multi-unit housing on that site and the surrounding property, but when and how much are to be determined, Borys said. (One option is to build two 25-storey towers.)"

Kind of neat seeing the City's derelict residential property tax adjustment work in a real example.

They should take a measured digital image of the art piece and replicate it on the new building.

• Rasht is a new Northern Iranian restaurant that opened at the end of October at 10321 124 Street NW.

I went to Rasht today. I had a karak chai and the fried eggplant dish (kashke bademjan). The chai was just okay, but the eggplant dish was delicious and looked beautiful on the plate. I definitely want to go back and try more.

Why have all the signs on this building been replaced with temporary banners?

Facade improvement?

Yes. It was mentioned a while back that this was going to happen. Maybe @Avenuer can confirm?

One property I'm very curious about to see what happens is at a two-story building on 104th Ave and 123rd Street. The building was just recently sold. I could see this property potentially being leveled and a multi-story residential or mixed use being built in its place

Are you talking about this building, Place 123?

That DP was issued in May 2022 and has since expired (a building permit needs to be submitted within 2 years of a DP being issued, and that hasn't happened here).
