Beljan Development has been firing on all cylinders lately as multiple adaptive reuse projects have surfaced in recent weeks. From a sensitive transformation of Whyte Avenue's historic Dominion Hotel to a mixed-use redevelopment of the former downtown YMCA on 102 Avenue NW to intensification of an unremarkable single-storey structure, Beljan's proposals are about realizing the potential of forgotten and underperforming properties across the city. Another recent project in the works — dubbed Box Haus — may not be as grandiose as the above endeavours, but it deftly proves that neighbourhood revitalization can come in all shapes and sizes.
Beljan's next move brings them to the former Alberta Dental Association building at 8230 105 Street, just north of Whyte Avenue, where a handsome Modernist structure would be retrofitted for the 21st century, without losing its decades-old charm. The characteristic white brickwork and clean fenestration of the mid-century design would be preserved, with some modern embellishments like wood panelling and exterior signage to be added, according to renderings of the reworked building.
"The alterations to the building will offer modern design and add functionality to both the main and lower levels," reads a leasing brochure by Omada Commercial. "This will create a welcoming space for retailers, restauranteurs, professionals and their clients."
The site already benefits from 15 onsite surface parking stalls, which would be maintained. Approximately 3,000 square feet are available for leasing on both the main and second floors, which the brochure states should be available by the summer or fall of 2018.
