Yup... 200 ish condos if i recall with what looked like a good opportunity for a restaurant and or pub. Basically the row of lots west of the old brewery from the main road south.

wicked location. Only 1 single-family house there right now, just begging to be redeveloped. Can't wait to see some of the corresponding renderings. What is this area designated for in the Rossdale Plan?

Interesting.

RF5 is along 97/98ave from 100-101st

RF3 is south along 100st.

I believe this is the RF5 NOT the rf3 site.

West of the old brewery is a baseball field that also doubles as a dog park for local residents. Are you saying this is going to be redeveloped?

In-between the baseball field and the road to the east are a string of single-family lots that are all vacant, sauf one.

As for the winter festivals, you should check out the Deep Freeze Byzantine Winter festival on Alberta Ave in early Jan. Gets better and this year it will be incredible!
Thanks. I'll see if I am in town then. Still, this Metropolis festival seems real neat and I hope it is still going through.

Anxious to see the updated front pg!

Ok, must not have had coffee.

I am mistaken.

The lands on 100st are RF3, the RF5 zone is south on 97ave.

The baseball field is DC1 though... NOT parkland.

RUMOUR ALERT

44 storey condo named 'whitehall'

no other details at the moment

44 @ ~10' floor to floor = 440' or 146.67m... interesting for that is just about as tall as you can go under the overlay.

I would have to think CBD or just south or south>?

There is a Whitehall Square @ 156 and 87 Ave, which is by Meadowlark. Could be a demolish and rebuild in anticipation of wLRT?

I don't see the 156 st location going. this has to be in the CBD. lets hope anyway. Or maybe down in the valley.

I'm excited for rossdale development so much potential down there. And yes keep the diamond! What a great central location. Here's a question I've always thought of though.. Is there a reason why supertall highrise down in rossdale would not be built? Can't they make like a 200+ metre condo highrise go up there and not reach the height restrictions imposed in upper downtown?

Can't find other thread, but I believe this is the Wasnea DC2 on 99 ave and 106st SEC. That very poor integration of existing 'affordable' tower and this new one.

It would also demolish the 3rd Premier of Alberta's house which I adore (mustard) one and likely remove those beautiful coniferous.

I will be diligently working on this one.

I though Wasnea was incorperating his office on the site.
