5th Street food hall? Never heard…sounds like a YYCthing?

It is on 105 Street off 104 Ave: https://www.justcookkitchens.com/about/5th-st-food-hall

Not a great picture, but it’s grown substantially.

Didn’t snap a pic, but lots of progress has been made. Believed the main building is topped off now. Makes a pretty sizeable impact on that corner visually.

I really like how this feels against gateway. Gives a better sense of enclosure/wall to the area.

Maybe, but it's pretty incentive to the gem south of it. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, concept, replacement of a dead space, but it feels imposing.

Still early days.

Welcome to a city.

I agree, it does feel more imposing than expected. Hopefully when the baricades and hoarding are gone it will feel a bit less so.

Oddly according the renderings on Page 1 of this thread show the building extending 2X as far to Whyte Ave than what is currently being constructed? Is it me? Or am I being obtuse? lol

Page 10 had updated plans. The space closest to Whyte was municipal reserve, which I think was removed, but is still park space with discretionary uses.

Wonder what happened to the residential project south of MKT.

Maybe I'm the odd one out with this opinion, but I kinda like the imposing presence this is giving thus far. Helps give off a "bit city" vibe which is perfectly fine in what is supposed to be one of our most dense areas of the city.

Looking more like a steel frame structure than an actual container park

That’s what they pivoted to. It’s been well proven now that shipping containers are not actually that useful for construction. Was just a fad.

 

[IanO]

Very much so; especially given the rise in their costs due to shipping needs.
