Yup, the triangle parcel is also owned by Rohit so bets are they develop that after this existing site is completed and more or less leased up.

The Stadium station upgrade and new crossing came at the perfect time. I wonder if we’ll ever see some of the older lowrise units neighbouring this development be redeveloped as well. Job well done thus far regardless

The stadium area has sneakily become a very nice TOD type development. Now with the LRT station reno, it's really starting to come together well and become one of my personal favorite parts of the city. I just wish there were slightly better access to the River Valley (I know it's right there but you have to cross Jasper which is a bit treacherous). I also think this area needs some more street level commercial development and it could be truly a vibrant and great space in the city.

I can't wait for the parking lot near the station to be developed in the future. Like you said, potential to be a great space in the city

I'm really gonna need a grocery store in that building on the corner of Stadium rd and 112 Ave though. That'll be peak convenience for me personally, thanks.

There is a Save-On Foods in the NE corner of 112 Ave and 82 St

The worst one in the entire city. Terrible selection and expensive prices

One that area is completed, I hope they do not stop there. I would love to see this area just east of it redeveloped with a similar vision in mind.

Honestly, I'd rather they moved west into MCCauley with the redevelopment, instead of this little eastern nook. It's a charming place as it is, and would do very little in terms of vibrancy, etc, whereas the triangle between 97 st, 107ave and the rail RoW would benefit a lot from a higher density, and connect the Stadium area and Downtown a lot better

There are restrictive covenants in place for a majority of the properties in that little enclave, so I highly doubt we'll see any redevelopment happen there ever. It's also a very nice little area filled with some beautiful homes, so it really shouldn't be redeveloped anyways, covenants or not

Yeah sure but that ain't "peak convenience". I don't live northeast of the station, I live northwest of the station, so walking to save-on from the station requires an unpleasant detour on foot.

If they opened one in the corner of 106 ave and 85 street to so, I'd be packing my stuff to move there

There should be a convenience store named 7ways that's in the same building as Panini's restaurant.

But it is kinda hard, and expen$ive to do your groceries at a convenience store, hahaha.
I don't think there's enough density there to justify another grocery store as of now, with Save On Foods right there and a Freshco right up 82 st and 118 ave, considering this is still a very low density area, but if the Stadium area keeps adding up residents and other businesses, there might as well be demand for something like the small Safeway we have in Oliver.
I'm surprised real estate developers don't partner with grocery stores more often. Personally, I'd pay a $100-$200 premium to live beside a grocery store (maybe even more if it was a cheap one with a big selection). Way less food waste and you can always make whatever you'd like. That Superstore in downtown Calgary would be perfect if it wasn't right beside the drop-in centre.
