Hat @ Old Strathcona | 66.14m | 20s | Cidex Group

weird depth... is this only 1 level u/g parkade?
I think that's totally fair, given the size of the site, and unit count, and not wanting to overbuild (and thus overspend and have to overcharge in rent) for parking, but i'm still a bit surprised. idk.
thanks for sharing!

I was thinking the same thing. I guess if and when one takes into account the total underground spaces for the entire site…..then it might be plausible?

I think the is just a preliminary depth while they do those piles. Would excavated further in next phase.

Exactly... there would be no need for soldier piles if 2.4m was the extent of the total depth. This seems to be just a solution to a particular excavation problem associated with Public Domain encroachment. It does mean, however, that the project is commencing.

 

[dunno]

So does that mean that this thing is... actually starting?

 

[Munanyo]

I'd assume this does mean this project is officially starting. Wondering when excavation begins though?

The Hat @ 122 is getting closer to completion, so it looks like they're starting to gradually redeploy resources over to this site now

Just drove by here this morning and the northern half of the parking lot is fenced off! I guess it's go time?

 

[Munanyo]

Oh man if this gets shovels in the ground this summer that would be awesome!

 

[Munanyo]

this + a built out Southpark (with filled CRUs) would have an amazing impact on the area. Throw in the Mezzo for the cherry on top and call it a day.

Don't forget a newly developed Army & Navy (still bummed out about that, the renders were great but now doesn't look like anything is imminent with that one).

Commercial Final

To construct a Hoarding (fencing) for a future shoring and excavation work --"Hat@ Old Strathcona"-- STARTING JUNE 28, 2023 - EXPIRING NOVEMBER 28, 2023

10419 - 81 AVENUE NW

Only until November
Is this just a false start

I saw the fence already up yesterday evening, so that part is on schedule

I am glad to see the City instituting time frames. I am sure that the Hatteries can get a 6-month extension simply by asking if they are unable to start excavation within that approved time frame. But it is set in place to move the building process along -- if the excavation phase doesn't start in a timely manner, they can then remove the hoarding permit at its expiration date.

There is a difference between hoarding and fencing -- hoarding suggests a barrier that is also protective of pedestrians' overhead realm and protective as well from the street traffic. Here there may be a combination of fences and hoarding.
