ArriVa


This is the first of a 3 tower condo development in Victoria Park near the Stampede.
It is being built in the block that used to contain the neighbourhood school, which can be seen in the foreground in the second photo.
15-20 years ago I used to work in an office across the street from the school, never dreaming anything would ever be built there, as the desolate neighbourhood has long been a haven for drugs and prostitution.
The pile of dirt in the foreground of the first picture is the start of the Stampede Park expansion. A new casino, oh joy.
The ArriVa tower under construction is going to have 30 plus floors. I believe it is sold out. The next 2 towers are going to be 42 stories high and are being billed as Alberta' s tallest condos. However, a new development on the west side of the Beltline is promising 2 towers of 47 and 52 stories.
One block to the west of ArriVa is another new development called Keynote that will have 2 condo towers, an office tower and retail. The block next to Keynote to the west is about to be developed with a hotel and condo towers. Posted by Picasa
