Will the property taxes / condo fees cover the lifecycle replacement of the road in about 40 years? Built form is fine by weirdly sparsely laid out. I am assuming lots of discussions about slopes were had in the meeting rooms

I'm hoping the parcels to the west labeled future development will be higher density. Maybe something in the 6-8 storey range.

Well, the condo fees will have to!

Actually the opposite, per the DC bylaw. Lower density than what is shown in the DP. Looks like semi-detached style homes:

The replacement for Two House brewing, the old Mikey’s in Sunalta.

Anyone know the point of the two yellow mounds in this photo? I've walked by a few times and have never seen anyone using that space and keep scratching my head on what it could have possibly been intended for...

Are they purpose building a new location?

I believe according to initial floor plans I saw and the process of dismantiling the Mikey's building (old funeral home?) that they were intending to reuse at least a portion of the old building. Over time more and more structure came down.

That is sad. Here we have another great opportunity for a TOD and we are going to blow it big time. Someone should mention to city hall that TOD stands for Transit Oriented Development, not Truth or Dare.

The neighbours needed to be mollified. Hence the density being nearly the furthest on the parcel, and the greatest elevation change away from the LRT.

A question to the experts, would a merger between Rogers and Shaw communications result in a new mixed use high rise tower in Calgary that's similar to Telus Sky? I got that question after reading this article https://financialpost.com/telecom/a...7-a9fd42111ae6/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
"Rogers has committed to hiring in the province and building a new research centre in Calgary"
"Rogers is committing to add 3,000 net jobs in Western Canada with 1,800 in Alberta alone, keep its Western operations headquartered in Calgary, and plans to establish a National Centre of Technology and Engineering Excellence in Calgary"
I believe Telus Sky was successful and Rogers might follow suite in the future to show its commitment to Western Canada and Alberta in particular

They have the Rogers Skydome, maybe they can do a new mixed use tower here called Rogers Skyhome

In my opinion, that will never happen. Too many enormous large contiguous blocks of empty 'A' class space that could be taken over. I don't see any market case for building a tower in this city with a major component being office space. It would be so much more expensive to occupy space that you build today comparatively to picking up available headlease space in the downtown that is everywhere and you have your choice of whatever you'd want as a tenant. That market isn't going to change for a really long time (read: decades).

That's an interesting line of thinking, I hope you're right. The original office component of the proposal for 633 Third Avenue SW was to include a significant expansion for Shaw, but then it was put on hold. This of course was a mixed-use proposal, next to Shaw Tower.
