I LOVE that idea.

That is something unique that would be great to see.
I can't wait to see new CRU's built and filled.

I miss Strathcona Bowl/Billiards as it brought a different crowd out; I would love to see the basement of this place do something similar.

Looks like they will be splitting up the main floor into 4 CRUs with large units at the back (entrance on Calgary trail) and in the basement. Possible closure of the alley on the west side of the building for a patio as well, which would be great (one less conflict point between pedestrians and vehicles!)


Not sure where Daily Hive got this brochure from though, not seeing it anywhere else online.

The contractor for this one is looking at starting in May/June.

Great to see this building repositioned. It takes up a large frontage along Whyte and it will be nice to see this re-activated.

Any signs of life working inside?

‘We’re getting everything ready’: How the Army and Navy building is preparing to re-open

Changes are coming to the old Army and Navy building on Whyte Avenue that’s sat empty for years. People walking by will soon see what’s in store for the future.

Any news on this property?

 

[MacLac]

What kind of news are you seeking? The building was boughtt a few years ago and they are retro-fitting it into a new food, beverage entertainment space. Haven’t heard on an opening date yet

 

[ADob]

I guess I assumed I'd see more activity there. Glad to hear it's still apparently progressing.

 

[MacLac]

Come to think of it, it does seem to be lagging……could have sworn they’ve been working on the renovation for 3+ yrs now

 

[Dubas]

No progress on the inside all summer.

 

[Mesopotamia]

A bar in the basement and small indie shops on the main floor would be awesome

 

[ADob]

Anything would be awesome, tbh. I just worry it's another one of those projects that lost steam or funding or something and we'll be back to square one. Thank god it's a. not Regency and thus b. not another empty post-apocalyptic site in a prime location.

I went to look at some work in the building and one of the biggest issues is access to the lower level. There's no elevator and the stairs are wood construction or very narrow. Getting any large equipment onto that lower level is impossible at the moment, And cutting a hole in the main floor is limited by the open web joists and how they're suspended.

There was talk of going up, but reinforcing the structure would be very expensive.
