Agreed it isn't really a New West problem, planning processes are ridiculously long across the region and we all know that's an issue contributing to our decades long housing crisis.
All of those took about a single decade to go from initial concept to construction of the first phase. Lougheed was acquired in 2010, construction started in 2018. Brentwood also acquired in 2010, construction started in 2015. Oakridge the proposal came in around 2012, approved in 2014 and construction started in 2019.
By those same standards Sapperton Green should have started construction of it's first phase somewhere inline with those projects, but it's still a parking lot with no update from our planning department in 2 years.
I'd be delighted for NW to move faster than our track record shows, would love to see this project starting construction by the early 2030s!
