I wouldn’t be surprised if the average per unit was higher than 1.5 the past few years. Anecdotally I know of new Canadians with 4 or 5 people to an apartment.

Merry Christmas all. Looking forward to an exciting 2026.

I think it’ll help the area. CF isn’t the type of landlord to built something low rent, so the new buildings should add some good residents to the area. This could and probably will spur on more development to the area. Is there a grocer in Chinook Centre or is that gone now?

Thanks for reminding me about Eau Claire. There was some activity with one of the big parcels not long ago. Maybe it’s related to that? Edit: I decided to put in the effort and look into it. Quick refresher, Quadreal is looking to build 8 condo towers on those two empty parcels. If this is the...

Great to see more aviation related projects. It’s playing a part in the steady diversification away from oil and gas.

Downtown and the Beltline have gotten substantially worse in the past year or two. There are homeless people everywhere you go in the Beltline these days. The part that’s alarming to me isn’t the number though, it’s how aggressive they are compared to the past. Is it the type of drugs they’re...

Probably won’t be 12, but even at 12 it might not be an issue with the park. I’ve noticed Ezra which is 10 floors doesn’t shadow the park very much.

Now that everything’s torn down, let pray this doesn’t sit as an empty lot.
