I was in Coffee Bureau today on Jasper Ave and mentioned that I missed going there now that I moved offices into the ID area. They said they were looking at ID at one point but couldn't make things work with the LL. Too bad they couldn't make it work, but I get it from both sides.
 
ID pursued a bunch of 'hip' local brands/spots to join them, but from my discussions folks were pretty far apart.

A lot lot. Yields are intense.

Edmonton has gone from ~15-20 units/ha to 40-50 and now upwards of 60+ in many suburban areas if you factor in the blend of zoning and types of housing.

I think density and a mix of housing types are the only areas where Canadian suburbs are doing decently well, maybe with marginally better SUP networks too.

Other than that, suburbs are still auto-centric conglomerations of placeless environments. The first priority of all cities should be urban intensification, after which suburbs should be built heavily around public transit and cycling networks. Allow cars access is fine, but making them the main mode of transport creates soulless places.

Oh yeah this is the Connect Centre thread. I hope CWB builds a big mixed-use building here, I think it'd make the most sense given the area they're in.

I thought someone mentioned on here recently that CWB isn't going ahead with the building there due to numerous reasons...???

The rumor mill here indicates that CWB is extremely unlikely to proceed with this tower period, if not the foreseeable future.

Overall, if we're just day dreaming about what would be nice here, my number one wish would be a lululemon store somewhere in ID. Or hell, anywhere downtown. I know it'll never happen, esp. after they closed their Whyte store to seemingly consolidate into their new flagship WEM location, but I would spend so much money at any lulu location downtown it wouldn't even be funny.

My bad, I haven't looked a this thread in a long time so I'm not totally up to speed with what's happening. I hope a building a does get built eventually, would really complete the area (happy they chose to build the podium though).
 
Does that mean no CWB in the proposed bank space at ground level? I haven't heard any clear reckoning on that issue -- it would be nice to see it go back to hospitality uses. Hopefully the residential building is back in the "soon-to-be" slot (maybe with a better design than what was last proposed).

No point given their plan for a new flagship in Manu (likely where HOLT was) kitty to TD.
