Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

A basic start would be to use population estimates based on last census + approved developments. On the backgrounder to all the development proposals, they still reference each communities population by the 2021 census. I'm not sure if they use more updated figures internally, but when they compare and score projects, they should be taking into account all the approved developments.

I don't think they have updated figures internally, because they killed the municipal census in 2020, so federal 2021 is the best they have.

Land Use Redesignation application for 48-70 Mission Rd SW. 7-8 storeys and 197 units. It's interesting how much new development has been happening in that stretch of Mission Rd near MacLeod. Not my top pick for places to live.

City sold the land on the corner just west of there too. I lived in the area a few years ago it is in a good spot in the sense your money goes a bit further than in Mission but you can still walk to Mission AND the Breweries across Macleod. Whether the city wants it to or not this section of Macleod will turn into a curb cut nightmare of a main street.
 
DP has just been submitted for Phase 1 of Anthem's lands over in Erlton. A simple but handsome design (IMO), and the shadow study suggests future phases will be another 6 storey building followed by a highrise:

Assuming (hoping) that facade is brick, consider me a fan.

Having said that, this is the type of building and location that would be perfect if each building had a cornershop integrated. Don't need to line it with CRU's...just one per corner for something like a bodega/coffeeshop/pub.

It is indeed brick! Agree re: CRUs - I wonder if the two later buildings might incorporate some retail? They might be waiting until they have more doors in the overall development to allow the retail a better chance at success.
