    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    This is a bit wonkish, but my understanding is most multi-family rental projects use the CMHC MLI Select program to finance constructions. I wonder if the decision to increase rates will have a cooling effect on new projects in Calgary or if people who have been sitting permits will race to try...

    In terms of Stephen Ave, the issue as I see it is that these businesses are going to push the City into repeating their past mistakes with 17th Ave and Marda Loop. In both cases the initial plan was a fast and furious rebuild of the street. Then the businesses along there complained that it...

    As we were all celebrating the new hotel proposal, a bunch of Calgary businesses are threatening to sue to stop the Stephen Avenue redevelopment in its tracks. https://livewirecalgary.com/2025/07/02/stephen-avenue-biz-owners-threaten-legal-action-over-redevelopment-work/

    Is the old church getting any sort of refresh or repurposing as part of this project?

    1st St SE (southbound Macleod Tr) is supposed to get a road-diet and a cycletrack installed within the next couple of years but you can bet your bottom dollar that project will become a fixation for the UCP who will vow to get involved and stop the bike lanes, Doug Ford style.

    Lol, and still not even done as the article mentions the play structure won't be installed and opened until the end of July.

    Walked by Eau Claire Plaza today and they were testing out the water features. There looks to be about 20 of these mister fountains installed in a line. The mist goes up to about waist height and the fountains seem like they are sequenced a bit randomly. They also appear to be under-lit with...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    First chunk of the build will be the LRV storage facility and track to Douglas Glen station. This is why the grading contract for the storage facility was first out of the gate and they have also already awarded the contract for the overpass at Barlow. This is due to the fact that the first LRVs...

    Is that a parkade entrance off of 7th Ave I spy? For some reason I thought the parkade entrance was going to be shared with Verve to increase the CRU frontage on 7th. Verve just has a knock-out wall in its parkade and I thought that would be to facilitate the shared entrance. Hopefully i'm wrong...

    Was there supposed to be some Olympic tribute in the NE corner of the plaza? I thought I read about that but can't spot anything along those line on the site map.
