At the risk of being tarred and feathered, where is that?

Has quite the Hinton vibe to it.

Ah. I thought the angled parking was a little quaint. I should have looked closer at the picture. I missed the "Edmonton Supply" first time round. Supply of what... (so many quips left unsaid)

I don't know if that location would be the best for a food hall... But would love something downtown like https://www.timeout.com/lisbon/things-to-do/time-out-market-lisboa

A mix of all of this, but around it, it must have ~10,000 people living there, or it fails.

It'll take decades of investment, gentrification and will to deal with the near crisis levels of disorder to even come close to making that space viable to attract people to that location. The area around the building is quite literally the worst part of the city by a fairly wide margin

Looks like the CX lofts on 110 Street is underway. Saw a bunch of equipment there yesterday afternoon digging out the old house foundations.

Yes, but not publicly available at this time. The project is now a tower with townhomes versus the earlier midrise concept.

the first three will never happen, and the first one may happen, but certainly not to that height. Book it.
