Looks like it'll span from the alley behind Mood Cafe? The NIMBYism is going to be out of this world with fears of it further clogging up traffic on 76 ave.

Good to see these finally pushing forward around our most underutilized station. 76ave is actually a really great street already with a few local stores and other condos. This will add to the vibrancy.

Great location for this. The adjacent LRT station is amongst the least busy, so it’ll be great to add a little density to it.

Great news. I was talking to my brother about the proposed builds in this neighbourhood on Sunday. We took the train to the neighbourhood and had breakfast at Belgravia Hub before grabbing a coffee at Mood cafe.
You don't need to own a car in this neighbourhood, and NIMBYs should be loudly told this.

Exactly. Can’t wait for the neighbourhood newsletter article featuring the president airing their grievances about this one like they do with every development.

I’m sure some more progressive/uni student type people will jump on the league boards soon in these areas. When all the homes are old or 800k plus, tougher to get new voices in. But these projects will help get a new generation of community league directors in as well. Critical mass is all they need.

Honestly at this rate we should just have a Skyrise Westrich betting pool to see which projects go next for them. They seem to be doing stuff all over the city.Construction fencing is now up.

I am going to miss that one house and always thought it was one of the more unique abodes in the city. Would love to know the history on that one.

As a not even that that long ago U of A grad (2015 
, whatever helps me sleep at night) I remember friends and classmates staying in a room in one of those paneled beige houses for $400/month in early 2010s. I am also an OG garage suite dweller of Belgravia, a unique but cramped roommate situation for my first job out of uni. Point of the rambling is it's both exciting and bittersweet seeing the University area grow. These multi-family developments are much needed in the area, but also point to the extreme COL situation for modern students. My $28K undergrad is now likely $40-45K+ (Bcom). Add in housing, groceries, lost provincial tuition tax credits & grants, it's getting near impossible for the student without family help / living at home

My undergrad was $16k, I lived at home and worked 3 jobs to make it work... even with parental help.
I cannot imagine these days paying 40k for an Arts degree.

I don't want to make y'all jealous but I received three separate scholarships out of high school and ended up with zero student debt -- one of the awards afforded me a 6-month stay in Paris, France in the summer of '66 (sacre-bleu).
