That’s one massive house, and made of steel, you don’t see that very often

Sorry everyone if the formatting is not to speck, or photo angles not ideal. Hopefully this gets the construction updates rolling again....miss the bundles that came in way back!

Wow! That was a very impressive first post. The formatting looked fine on my end. I loved some of the closeups you took and had no idea that some of these projects even existed. I really liked how you first showed the rendering and then the current state of the project. Very nice touch.

Exactly where is the project "Marda" located?

[TallBob]

Marriott turned out better than I thought it would!

Welcome to the forum Littlechilds! Thank you for taking the time to put together such a detailed photo update and including so many of the projects from the Marda Loop area. I keep forgetting how much action is happening in that area.

Calgary's former mayor wants to transform this East Village lot into a food hall

Dave Bronconnier's project would go up across from the Drop-In Centre
Scott Dippel · CBC News · Posted: Jun 04, 2018 6:00 AM MT | Last Updated: 4 hours ago

A triangle-shaped parcel of land in the East Village could become the home of an unusual new food hall.

Framed by a flyover bridge, roads and the Calgary Drop-In Centre, it's a quirky property that will need something unique.

Enter: the city's former mayor Dave Bronconnier.

During his time in the mayor's office, Bronconnier had a hand in jump-starting the revitalization of the then run-down area east of city hall. He retired from politics in 2010.

"I was committed when I was in my previous role and job and I'm still committed to seeing this area develop out," said Bronconnier.

Through his company Interloq Capital, which invests in real estate projects, Bronconnier wants to put his money down on the future of the East Village.

Three-sided building for triangle-shaped lot
The $5-million project is tentatively called The Corner.

It's a triangle-shaped piece of land, so The Corner will have three sides as well.

Bronconnier said it will feature a couple of restaurants as anchor tenants but there will also be a rotating selection of small food stalls where budding chefs and entrepreneurs can try out new food concepts.

There will be a food court-style seating area for customers.

Thanks.

Concerning Arris, it looks like a lot is going on with that project based on your photo. I might be getting this project confused with something else but didn't people here a few months ago say that that project was going to be delayed? Capped at the podium and retail? Does anyone know what the current status is of the entire project?

Thanks Littlechilds. You're the first person to post a decent pic here in about 2 years.

Just when SSP looked like it was going to it’s final death a big update saves the day.

[Tobyoby]

This is a good use for that piece of land.

I don’t know about the first decent pic in two years. Chaddilac was still posting here as recent as a year ago. That’s the first good post of any kind in at least six months though.

My advice is stay in Marda Loop. Moving to the Beltline is a stop backwards, as most people start out in a place like the Beltline and aspire to move to a neighbourhood like Marda Loop.

On a side note, looking to move to the beltline before the prices get back where they should be (grown tired of Marda Loop). Tossing between the towers "Colours", "Chocolate", "Union Square", and now this new twin tower currently going up..."Underwood".

Anyone have strong opinions on any of these beltline classics?
