A neighbourhood that used to house University of Alberta students and their families will now become an infill community planners hope will generate revenue for the post-secondary institution.

Another in a long line of what I would call "easy infill" opportunities we have in the city. Great location.

Selling plots as a 99 year lease instead of actually owning the title is an interesting choice. Probably nothing to be concerned about as a buyer now, but those buying closer to the end of the lease might have some reservations (but that's a problem for long in the future).

Is that all parking right beside the grocery store? Hard to tell.

 

[archited]

^^^^ Yes it is -- with the 6 stalls nearest the store being disabled accessible.

It would be cool if they put shade structures over the parking stalls, the roofs of which were solar panels.

No big deal. For all intents and purposes it is a non-issue.

It's how UBC structured their properties trust.

It would also seem that the main level of CAB (where the two Tim Hortons are) is undergoing renovations over the summer. Can't find any plans or further info online though.

I believe there is underground parking access at the east and south elevations of "i".

Is it just look like new flooring, etc... to go along with other previous reno's or are they moving things around in there?

Not too sure... they pretty much had hoarding up blocking off the whole main floor (you could not walk through to Chem, I believe) when I was last there in July. Could possibly be done now, just haven't had a chance to check.

There was a museum in that building? Who knew? I don't think this was well-promoted at all.
