Westdale project drives new ring road and tenant talks
Frew Development Group plans a 12 000 square foot multi-tenant building south of the U S Bank with six new pad sites on Williams Boulevard SW and two at 29th Avenue and Edgewood Road SW. A relocated ring road, water line work, and trees plus trails will shape the 72 acre Westdale mixed use. Frew aims to sign several 20 000 to 60 000 square foot tenants and a junior anchor to trigger more leases as a snowball effect.
