An Edmonton eyesore may soon be no more.

Concept drawings of an urban plaza with shops and condos are just part of a request coming before council next month to rezone land on the corner of 142 Street and Stony Plain Road known as the West Block project.

“For the first year and a half I was on council, I got a lot of emails, people upset about the eyesore on 142 and Stony,” Coun. Scott McKeen said Wednesday.

Formerly called the Glenora Skyline, the site’s foundations are the only visible work since 2014 when the company behind it underwent “restructuring and financing.”

Last year, local developer InHouse, a division of Beaverbrook Developments, went through the court process to take over the project and hope an approved application to rezone the land next month will allow it to start selling units in the spring for in the newly imagined West Block condos.

In an act of good faith, InHouse has decided to help out those who paid down payments, but were left in the cold by the initial developer.
