Avonair Curling Club

[Gronk!]

The Avonair Curling Club, which was NE of Kingsway Mall, was permanently closed back in January. I'm not sure what the future plans are for this site but last I saw it was under pending sale.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone redeveloped it as follows:
- 2 or 3 mid-rise or high-rise towers
- mixed use with hotel and residential units
- 1, 2 or 3 bedroom units
- podium includes a new and improved curling rink, arena, cafe/restaurant and hotel lobby
- 2 or 3 level underground parkade
- services Blatchford, NAIT, Kingsway Mall and LRT riders

6-8 storey mixed-use building, maybe with student housing as buildings suggested

^ not a sixty-storey building for a renamed Northern Alberta Institute of Tower-building?

It's one of those spots I would love to see something just a little taller, like 20ish stories, and create a bit of a visual vocal point you can see from further away.
With some ground floor retail that can take advantage of people walking to/from NAIT and the LRT station. Nothing fancy, could be student housing, or just a market rate rental apartment would be fine too.

Kind of like the tower recently built on near the U of C campus.

Personally, I would be shocked if the purchaser isn't Oxford.
