Just trying to remember - are there any plans afoot for that empty lot on the NE corner of 116 St/Jasper (or right across 116 St from Urban Tavern)? This is not to be confused with the Healy car dealership on Jasper, for which plans to close were recently announced. I know a gas station/conv. store and liquor store used to sit there until probably the mid-2000s, so that's obviously been sitting empty for quite some time.

No. The site was for sale a couple of years ago, I think they wanted $7M or something. Nothing materialized, so now it sits.

Was downtown last week and parked in the Quarters (wanted to see if any activity has been taking place).

I noticed excavators tearing down two major eyesores (will link below) on 102 Ave NW and according to Daveography on SRC, the sites will be excavated and filled with non-contaminated soil. Really glad these two are gone however there are no immediate plans for construction or development right now. All we can hope for is that they do not remain vacant lots for long.

https://www.google.ca/maps/@53.5443014,-...OKbuSI0qX_qrczDQ-hiRw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

As well, the city managed to consolidate some land between the Hyatt and 96 street and has listed it for sale, as noted by Daveography.

Really big news that a huge chunk of land in the Quarters has managed to get consolidated and hopefully this spurs some interest from developers. Will be important to keep a close eye on this, as it may signal whether there truly is interest in developing the area in the near future.

There is no demand for such a building in Edmonton. The closest we'll get to 300m is with Alldritt at ~280. I don't know what the odds of this project going ahead are.

Your big ideas wanted for Edmonton Exhibition Lands
April 9, 2018

Residents, developers, the business community, organizations, and individual Edmontonians, are invited to submit ideas for the future of the City’s newest urban infill site - the Edmonton Exhibition Lands.

“You don’t need to be a planner or architect to share your thoughts - big ideas for this area have the potential to come from anyone, anywhere,” said Leanne McCarthy, Deputy City Manager, Urban Form and Corporate Strategic Development. “We invite innovative and exciting ideas for this city building opportunity that align with guiding principles developed for this project together with the community and stakeholders. This process of inclusion, shared exploration and imagination is important to Council and Administration. We want to hear ideas that will bring the project’s opportunities to life.”

At over 200 acres, Exhibition Lands encompasses Borden Park, the Expo Centre, a LRT station, access to the river valley, Wayne Gretzky Drive and multiple neighbourhoods.

“We have a significant amount of land in a central location, with tremendous potential to shape local communities and the city for the future. This step is the beginning of a much broader, ongoing conversation about the future of the Exhibition Lands,” said Lyall Brenneis, Manager, Exhibition Lands Project.

Ideas can be submitted at https://exhibitionlands.edmonton.ca through video, image or written description, as well as through more formal Requests for Expressions of Interest. All ideas submitted will be evaluated based on a wide range of factors, including the project’s guiding principles.

“Each idea is valuable to us and we will commit to collaboration with stakeholders and report back on the full range of input and ideas submitted,” said Brenneis.

A shortlist of viable, innovative ideas that best realize the project’s potential and principles will be explored in public conversations over the coming months.

Opportunities to submit ideas are open until May 5, 2018.

What a nice little development parcel in the Quarters for the right developer.

"All costs associated with roadway modifications, upgrading, modification/relocation of existing services and costs associated with site remediation, required for any new development will be borne by the buyer."

Huh? Is it not legislation that remediation costs are a vendor responsibility?
