Speaking of restaurant conversions - the ATB at South Common is being fitted into a new "Moxie's." Strange why they just didn't re-open their Covid shut South Common location.

Looks like PCL has this job as well.

Hi: I am a regular contributor to UT and have been interested in development totals in Canadian central cities for the next year or two. A quick tally of the projects in Edmonton gave me 2 094 units under construction. I have a few questions: there seems to be a lot of development just across the river from downtown so is that considered downtown as well. Also, is there much development going on around the lrt stations? Finally are there emerging suburban city centres in Edmonton similar to what they have in Vancouver and Toronto? And while I am thinking of it, if there is some sort of rail between Calgary and Edmonton, where would the Edmonton central station go?

Not called downtown south of river but it is urban in character as the historic centre of Strathcona, Alberta.
There are city centres more and less in St Albert, Sherwood Park, various suburban tower clusters and some redevelopment at Century Park and Stadium stations and a few others in the works.

East is a funny term, I suppose it is on the east side of St. Albert trail...East Village

I am going to be curious to see where St. Albert comes out next census. The landscape for multi-family residential builds has grown dramatically from what was hardly a blip 10 years ago.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but in terms of regional development there's a new power centre called Woodbend Common on the west side of Leduc (highway 39) that will house an Independent Grocer (Loblaws), Shoppers, McDonald's and Bar Burrito so far.

Of course we are only worried about eating up agricultural land if we're talking about renewable energy development. Sprawl? Scrape that topsoil and put up a parking lot

I think it makes sense to strategically support sprawl up to the point that the urban fabric reaches the airport. There's economic and psychological benefit to having contiguous urban area around a city's major airport
This looks to be south of the airport so part of the puzzle IMO

Leducs New High School is being built across the highway from this. The Site is SW of the Airport.
Within the next 10 years there will be housing built right up to the Airport Property southern line.

With Leduc growth, the south airport grounds cargo builds, & Discovery business park to the north of the airport things are certainly starting to feel built up around the airport.

Funny enough, it would only take 1/10 of 1% of our arable land for enough solar in Alberta to go netzero.

When I fly in I look at all of those rooves that could have had solar installed. But are not structurally sound enough now to add the panels now.
