Bury the parking lots and build where they are, and all of a sudden you have A LOT of land at SEC

True.

Would be an ideal place or residential for sure. I doubt that'll happen there though.

Oh, not in a million years... Which is sad, but unfortunately true.

I don't know if there is any land to do that at SEC sadly.

How is that apartment building coming along anyways at Currents? Haven't seen any updates and don't go that way much these days.

This one will be interesting to watch from a price point perspective. Some obvious strikes like the gas station and Walmart view, but you literally have everything you need super close to you for services, restaurants and shops. I wish the whole area was planned better to integrate mixed use into it but glad to see this slip in there,

Totally. We are so close, yet so far. This whole area could literally be a beautiful central Main Street with residential above (5 over 1s the whole central street), and then go ahead a do the silly suburban big box stores along the back perimeter. But at least 1 nice street please. University district in Calgary as a good example.

I'd rather live there than a generic low-rise stuck at the front of a suburban neighbourhood with poor parking, nothing/little walkable and bad transit.

I am really not a fan of parking lot views so wouldn't pick this for myself, but it is close to a number of stores and services. However, we shouldn't have to choose one or the other.

I wish this was better laid out with a nice main or central street.

Yup totally understand that, despite my comment I do believe it will do well, it’s just an interesting place, not many like that around.

Looks like some more commercial is still being added, plus another residential building in the western area (bottom of pic).
