$60-million retirement community to be built in south Edmonton
Construction is underway at a $60-million southwest Edmonton retirement community set to open at the end of 2017.
Located in the MacTaggart subdivision of Terwillegar Heights, the 180-suite luxury MacTaggart Place Retirement Residence will generate construction jobs for 140 workers
A groundbreaking ceremony Thursday afternoon was attended by area politicians, architects, construction executives, and the executive director of the Alberta Seniors Communities and Housing Association, Irene Martin-Lindsay.
Where are they now? A look at 10 Edmonton developments that haven't gone ahead yet
Real estate developments can be like flowers in spring — they grab your attention with colours and pizzazz, but if the climate doesn’t co-operate they eventually fade from view.
The local economic climate has been uncertain for most of the last decade, so Edmonton hasn’t always provided fertile ground for new construction projects.
The city gave out $213 million worth of building permits in May, the latest figure available, a drop of 54 per cent from the previous May; permits were down eight per cent for the first five months of 2016 compared to the same period last year.
But there’s better news for the Edmonton region. Almost $2 billion worth of building permits were issued for the metropolitan area in the first three months of the year, up 18 per cent from the same period in 2015.
This figure continued a regional upward trend that has lasted since at least 2010, far better than the 12 per cent year-over-year decline in building permits experienced by Alberta as a whole.
Here’s an update on 10 of the projects announced in Edmonton over the past few years:
Edmonton councillors aim to create indoor soccer space
City council took a first step Monday towards easing demand on the city’s indoor soccer fields, which are increasingly full at all hours of the day.
Councillors voted to have the city look at the possibility of building a new facility, that could have as many as four indoor pitches. There are currently 12 fields owned by the city, in addition to a handful of private facilities.
