I'm anticipating a rather crappy summer for progress on multi-family sites and a considerable range of projects. We're shaping up to have a repeat of the summer of 2013, and anything involving digging goes poorly when we have this kind of moisture. Digging in clay topsoil in particular is...

This does not exactly surprise me. It's not so much EcoDen's succession of false starts so much that Crimson Cove just tends to proceed in a very methodical way that quietly gets stuff done... even if their name suggests that they are in fact pirates.

It's right around the corner from Stantec tower so it's actually quite close to a lot of offices, and a place to obtain and/or drink beer is not exactly niche. 104 Ave has always been a bit of a blight, but Mercer Tavern had a good go there for a number of years. Campio meanwhile has been...

I suspect that's waiting on the sewer line heat exchanger facility.

It's going to be a challenging space to make use of nowadays because the costs to heat it have to be pretty monstrous and it's a huge space to fill in this day and age. It's not hopeless. That old stabby bar/hotel downtown where some poor fellow vigorously pepper sprayed me in a failed mugging...

I was not particularly fond of Streetside's builds, but they did eventually get their marketing presence in order and suddenly they were closing deals.

Well, given that even with two spaces to erect towers they still went with cable-stayed suspension gives a hint as to the amount of engineering challenge involved in that case. Now, here's what we're looking at as we go north of Blatchford Gate. The Calder Yard is a very tight yard from edge to...

While it would be nice if it were another "signature" bridge like Tawatinâ, at the end of the day it really just needs to get the job done and be a "100 year" bridge. Though given the complexity of bridging the yard we might end up with an interesting design because it could be really...

I did indeed see the mighty herd of bicycles rolling by as I was filling planters on my roof.

NAIT has only said there are plans for a "potential residence" so far as I've been able to discern. But even if it's all instructional, that's just fine since it will drive demand for residential and commercial services in the area. The Metis Capital Housing Pakoshayimoohk Village project was...

There's a few reasons why it isn't. The easiest development to get going was the row-house development, as these are projects with short build times that can be tackled by a builder who is capable of building a house. Building larger structures with elevators is a project of vastly larger scale...

I've taken it too. It was nice that it was a limited/express train and it was fast enough to be competitive with driving. LRT would've been a bit torturous.

Griesbach's developer is a Crown Corporation who fulfils a similar role for the Federal Government as a municipal development corporation would for the city. I remember touring their site 12 years after the closure of CFB Edmonton-Griesbach and it was further along, but not by much. They had...

I see that Mutti Homes, who caused no shortage of problems in the initial phase of Blatchford, is boasting that they will be building at Michener Park.

Well, I don't drive very often, but when I do, it's nice to be able to cut Kingsway Ave out of trips north and east.
