Phase 2 cannot come soon enough...

 

[Avenuer]

This shorter tower is already making a huge impact and can be seen from many different angles. The taller second tower will do wonders.

Beyond the other proposed developments around the warehouse park, I'd love for a completed Phase 2 to eventually spur some momentum like what happened in Oliver to get two major Jasper ave parking holes filled:

-Lot #32 10605 Jasper Ave adjacent to First Candian Place
-10745 Jasper Ave between Peace Hills & bank/el furniture

I know the status/ownership of these lots has been discussed prior, probably the current hold up. I'm talking 5-10 yrs

edit: grammar

This is a great project, and will definitely be a catalyst for more downtown...but there is still an issue with creating the demand for housing downtown to match the supply you want to see come on.

Hopefully that 5-10 years window you mentioned is a realistic time, but step one is definitely seeing this & The Shift get built and rented up.

That atrocious frontage along Jasper Ave makes the baby Jesus cry.

That's all getting torn down shortly.

Dropping my son off in Old Strathcona, it’s interesting to see the mix of retailers around there. I think that there could be.a greater retail presence once the Parks opens. 109 Street and Jasper has a lot of activity nearby.

The transformation cannot come soon enough.

I do wonder when downtown does start to actually achieve a critical mass of residents (optimistically 10-15 years) what the retail landscape will look like. Will we start to see more clothing stores and various brands give downtown a go finally? Will be interesting when the core reaches that crossroads.

Anyone have insight into when the demo could happen? Usually I am against the demo of buildings, but some of these are so run down that it would almost be nice to get rid of them as soon as possible.
