I really love the Currie Barracks development but the prices are pretty crazy. I`m hoping to possibly revisit the area once the additional phases start to become available. I wasn`t really too interested in Phases 1A,B,C especially with the prices that there were being thrown around. I`m hoping to one day be able to afford to build a house towards the northern end (near Richmond Greens) of the development. It sounds like that is still many years away though so I have time to save my nickles.
The new plan for the area looks like it is going to be developing a large portion of the park which is centrally located in the Barracks. The last time I was in the sales office (before the updated plan earlier this year) the park and running track area was supposed to be left alone. If that stuff gets developed it will kind of kill the appeal.
Hopefully they get traffic planning correct because it could become a nightmare in that area especially if they hope to get 11,000 people in that area. I use to live in Marda Loop and 33rd Ave over Crowchild was brutal during peak hours. Flanders would obviously need some sort of upgrade and it is encouraging that they are talking about those plans now. Richmond Road and 37th is going to need a serious overhaul as well.
