From an old booklet very, very early on.

This area paused, given that not only does it lack roads, but it's over a meter below rough grade at this point. Doing either would've been difficult with as much snow on the ground as we had.

That's a primordial plan from before redevelopment was approved. It doesn't match with the road grid that's actually been developed, and Residential Low and Residential Medium-Low appear to have been effectively merged in actual implementation.

While Streetside's builds are probably my least favourite among the active builders doing freehold townhouses here, I have to admit they move really fast. It warms up for a bit and they already poured foundations for a new row of their bungalows.

Ngl it's fun seeing Blatchford go from "why tf aren't they building anything yet" to "wait there's bungalows by a lake now?". Seems like it's going faster and faster by the month.

I mean... I live here and walk through here pretty regularly and I'm regularly in the position of thinking, "Wait. When did that start?"

The Blatchford page on the city's website was recently updated with some interesting info about why certain decisions were made (ie dropping the pneumatic waste system).
There's also a listing for one of the multi-unit properties. Inside, there are links to Blatchford's Green Building Codes, the Blatchford West Architectural and Urban Design Guidelines, and the Multi-Unit Lots District Energy Sharing System Design Guide. I have never seen these three documents posted publicly, so this is quite exciting. The high price for the listing surprised me, but it makes sense since the proceeds from these sales fund the next stages of development.

So 30,000 people 'living' in Blatchford is the goal, according to the person overseeing this entire project.
There seems to still be confusion. Some have previously said here it's 30,000 living, working and studying.

As a refresher, there was already a pending DP - I wonder if Crimson Cove is involved with both of them?

The 6655 lot on the Blatchford website says that lot has been sold to Crimson Cove and 4-6 storey rental apartments will be built there. I feel like I had heard somewhere that Crimson Cove actually had plans for 3 apartment buildings on either side of Alpha there, but I do not know where I heard that...
