Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Noticed a Land Use for this parcel by the firehall near MRU. Wonder who owns it and if they're changing the land use and then flipping the property or if this is for something the owner is working on?

They're requesting designation of this property from 'DC Bylaw 141D2019' to 'MU-1 f3.0h32' to allow for:
  • a mixed-use development comprising of commercial and residential dwelling units in street-oriented buildings throughout the site;
  • a maximum building height of 32 metres;
  • a maximum building floor area of approximately 161,670 sq.m. to occupy a parcel size of 5.39 hectares (current DC District allows a maximum building floor area of 86,224 sq.m); and
  • no maximum density requirement (current DC District allows a maximum density of 165 dwelling units per hectare, approximately a maximum of 889 dwelling units).

I believe it is owned by Quadreal, and it will be a real (and very large) project. I haven't created a thread for it, since it is just land use right now, but expect something pretty big. Not sure of their timing beyond the land use though.

Few things. how do you do street-oriented commercial and multi-residential units with these big-ass streets that surround the site? I assume you orient active uses internally? A consistent problem of mobility overclassifying streets and designs that place automobility first and everything else as an afterthought.

Nice to see Quadreal moving on some residential developments here. Wish they would get started on those Eau Claire lands they have been sitting on for some time as well

Seriously ?! 😄

Eau Claire land development would be an event of historic proportions in my eyes.

So much great news this week - Whoooo !!!

I can't speak to their business practices, I am just lucky enough to be in a position where I get a bit of a preview of what is coming down the pipe. But, when you see this line from this article, you have to wonder, what are they going to spend the proceeds on?

  • Multifamily: Glenmore Gardens/Elata/Glenmore Heights which bcIMC Realty Corp. sold for $176 million to Boulevard Real Estate Equities Ltd.

This older apartment building is undergoing some exterior renovations 411 14 ST NW

https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2024-03544 Looks to be adding some CRUs and some landscaping. I wonder if the entire building is getting an exterior refresh? It has definitely seen better days.

I believe the Calgary Housing Portfolio is being invested in to preserve units after the Bridgeland debacle.
 
I don’t think we’ve seen this on here before, but this is what Zeidler is doing to the ground floor of Nexen Tower. Not bad, nice even.
