Edmonton's NEW TODs: Transit Oriented Development Tour

Where is transit-oriented development actually delivering in Edmonton right now? I'm field-checking five projects inside Edmonton's 400–800 metre LRT catchments that are leasing, building, or already occupied.

In this video:

The Beacon / East Junction (Holyrood LRT) – 284 units, direct platform access
Stadium Yards (Stadium LRT) – 1,500–2,000 residents, Phase 1 complete & fully leased
Metro 78 (McKernan/Belgravia LRT) – 142 units, bike storage & townhouse entries
West Block (Future Grovenor/142 St LRT) – 104 new rental units, mixed-use plaza
Meadowlark Apartments (Future Meadowlark LRT)– 216 units, underground parking

What you'll learn:
✓ How Edmonton's 400m/800m TOD guidelines are working on the ground
✓ Distance metrics, unit counts, parking, and leasing status for each project
✓ Walkability to daily-need amenities (groceries, cafes, clinics, parks)
✓ How the Zoning Bylaw Renewal and voter-backed infill are concentrating homes near transit
✓ Why densifying near LRT lines reduces car dependency and strengthens local retail

The data: 2025 set records for homes permitted near transit—30% within 800 meters of LRT. These five projects show exactly how that's translating into real neighborhoods.
