Last I heard they are still going to be residential units but under lease to Telus. They aren't work floors.

There will always be those opposed, but I think the neighborhood will generally be happy with something that is not a mid/highrise condo tower in that location (a la the Legion redevelopment).

Awesome development for the 30-40% of units with street frontage. The rest are crammed in with mega-tiny courtyards and/or alley views (if you're lucky!) Typical development in this day and age. Mash as many units in with no regard to livability long term

Tbh I'd rather it be mixed commercial than more residential. I think memorial should be kept a commercial street rather than mostly residential like it is now

This seems to be the new norm - lots of back unit 4plexes seem to be about this "garden view" now. Prices reflect it though, so that might be the price of admission.

Outside of the Curling Club, Lot 102, and Julios barrio - I can't think of other commercial businesses on Memorial between Center street and Crowchild North.

Interesting. We were on the Landlord's side of the CBC move and shopped the site to a few developers but they all took a pass because of the creosote contamination and remediation costs.

[Robbob]

Maybe why it is such a high density development. Makes it easier to pass the on the cost.

And that plot where Lot 102 is keeps having tenants close down. Memorial isn't ripe for commercial establishments.

I've never quite figured out why that location keeps failing. Parking? Access? Building problems? Bad management? Even that British shop next door has had more longevity than anything there.

Lot 102 had the best burgers and fries in the area. So sad when it closed down, no idea what the problem is. Wish Julios would close, that place is garbage.

My theory is that the problem with that place is that it's never been anything unique enough to survive.
Whenever someone wants to go there, they have to park in Kensington then walk by another (often better) version of whatever has existed there.

Going for a beer?
You're going to walk by 3 pubs on the way there.

Going for fancy wine (I think it was that once).
You're going to walk by Wine Bar.

There's no really good way for it to get the foot traffic it needs to stay open because all of that foot traffic is being absorbed any number of similar/better places along the way.

Julio's is in a similar location in that you have to walk by stuff to get there, but it's different enough that people aren't going to say "Oh hey, why don't we just go here instead" on their way there.

With the foot traffic that corner sees, a business that appeals to the commuter pedestrian would do well IMHO.

A coffee shop would make a killing for people looking to get their morning fix. Tim's should have moved there.

Not sure a Weed Dispensary is the answer.

Cheap booze and those Bulldogs keep Julios in business....

I had to look up what a bulldog was. Gross.

Actually, they're pretty much the only thing at Julio's that isn't.

With Chinken on the way just up the road can this area withstand 2 in that close proximity?

If you're asking, clearly you're not familiar with the demographics of the area

You have the complex west of crowchild and also that strip mall right before Edmonton Trail. Trying to get a bike from the bow river path to 10th Street is harder than it should be.

So apparently the New Horizon mall has been open since June. I've driven by it a couple times and had no idea it was actually open. Apparently no one else knows that, either...Maybe a few signs would help for people on their way to CrossIron. Or maybe they are to embarrassed to advertise given the vacancy level.

The mammoth mall was billed as a modern, international bazaar with an Asian flavour, opening quietly this summer just outside Calgary, south of the CrossIron Mills megamall.
But of its 517 retail units, only nine — less than 2% — are currently occupied and open for business, despite the mall being open since June.

BS detector?

Earlier this summer the mall said it was 99% sold. Now it just needs businesses to breathe life into it.

I'm doubtful this concept is going to succeed. Maybe 20 years ago, it would be a nicer version of Crossroads Market selling junky electronics and trinkets. But these days I can't imagine they will have much on offer that you can't order on the internet. Being in the middle of nowhere means you have to have a compelling reason for people to go there. I'm not really sure what that reason is, but then I loath all malls so I'm not really their target.
