Yup, it's one of the cities affordable housing lots.
Units are great but a 3 storey building in erlton next to McLeod is sad. Design is as bland as one can get

Yeah, looks very suburban for the location. At least it won't look out of place with the buildings currently around it though.

It's insane to me how unironically somebody will argue that there's no point in adding a bike lane if there's one available a few blocks away, but in the same breath justify car access by default on every single right-of-way.
How about we put a bike route on every single street in the core and limit cars to every three blocks? If that sounds wild to you, consider that that's the mirror of the argument you're making.
Or, a compromise: Maybe we could provide access to cars, bikes and pedestrians reliably on every street by default and not design our City around the choices of those people trying to navigate the densest part of the city in the most expensive, oversized mode of transport. Maybe if you're in a car you accept getting stuck in traffic sometimes. You can use the time sit and think about how inefficient it is to have a few hundred people stuck, completely unable to navigate a block, because they've decided to take up 200 square feet of space each.
And sure, cars are the norm in Calgary because we've been steeped in this brainwashing since the '50s but that isn't a justification for perpetuating such a narrow-minded vision of our public realm.

River cree hotel and casino outside Edmonton is going through major $200 million dollar expansion that will include a high rise. I think Grey Eagle casino should do the same!

I can't remember if this was posted already - Oak Tree Project, 122-126 10 St NW. No renderings, but there's a land use redesignation LOC2024-0126 open to increase this site to 7.0 FAR and up to 40 metres height.

Is this a summary or a prediction?
It's definitely Adam Waterous's prediction. I guess we'll see.

I just don't see the economics of this for them? Will it really drive that much business for them?

I chatted with them a couple years ago. It is literally them 'giving back', using their skills and influence to bring together a project that should exist that doesn't because it is hard work that requires a long time to align all the different players.
I also think once it is done, there will be a big change in how Parks Canada views projects in the park at some point over the next 30 years. Building a gondola to Norquay base might be back on the table, as would maybe future things in base area development that largely replaces the parking at Norquay.
The development environment is the gamble (not something we talked about). But I think a good one. 500, 1000 rooms at a ski-in ski-out hotel with access to banff itself would be a HUGE boost, as would the value it would bring to the underdog ski area in the park.
