Downtown Real Estate

[SarcasticMarmot]

Kinda sorta, not really.

I believe this is more of a seniors and E4C type of project.

I don't think e4c owns this plot. I'm pretty sure its privately owned. Alex Taylor still belongs to COE and e4c leases it for super cheap and I don't think the land extends across the alley. I think the new building in the Quarters is their only planned development.

Apparently e4c is on this one though!

Wonderful looking facility.

Yes, the colour is darker than expected and actually looks very good. It is a nice contrast between the two buildings on either side and manages to look like an older building (which it is), but also modern.

Coming soon to the 4th St Promenade

This convenience store didn't last very long.

So I am curious what others think.

What are the top 5 empty lots in the downtown area between 97st to 109st and 99ave to 105ave that should be developed first. (SHOULD = That will impact the core the most)

My time to shine. I made a map just for this:

I think the highest priority should be all of the gravel lots along 105th Street, since that’s the main entry point to Downtown from the south. (Also, the strip club’s there, and that’s the best attraction in Downtown.)

Here's my top 10

1. This is dying for ICE District expansion

2. Empty lot greets you when you enter downtown from 103 St

3. Empty lot greets you when you enter downtown from 105 St

4. Across from the u/c Warehouse Park

5. The Valley Line West LRT should help fill this. Should.

6. The Valley Line West LRT may help fill this. May.

7. Where's The Shift?

8. A large empty lot next to a parkade on the 4th St Promenade

9. Another hotel should do nicely.

10. A couple of empty lots near 97 Ave

The biggest priority for me is the lot across from the City Centre Mall TD branch. It really hurts activation and makes that whole block feel a lot sketchier.

^ My first priority as well. It's an absolute travesty that this lot has been in this shape for as long as it has.

Honestly, it looks like the site of a disaster—or like it was transported from the London Blitz!

Did Regency put this lot for sale?

If you're gonna include Tower 101 as an empty lot, might as well include the Arlington site too.
It's now almost 20 years since the building was destroyed by fire.
