@Mattyeg if they are pre-drilled holes then the piles are rightly called columns supporting retaining walls (usually stacked timber); if they are drilled or hammered piles they are still placed with the same results acting as columns retaining a lateral load (cantilevered load).
"A beam is a horizontal structural element which withstands vertical loads whereas columns are basically vertical members which span from substructure to superstructure and play a crucial role in transfer of load from top of structure to bottom footing."

In this case semantics!

Turn your perspective 90 degrees;)

Is the lot north of the fence not part of the development? I wonder what can be built there as its a rather small parcel of land.

Actually quite a bit. Depending on creativity someone could build a similar building to what Gene Dub built across from MacEwan. With that said I regret that most likely we will get another 1 storey strip mall.

More like we'll likely get an empty parcel of land for another 20 years.

I hope not, perfect spot for some university-oriented TOD right next to a future LRT line.
