So happy to see this moving forward, even though the building design isn’t anything special it’s gonna be nice to have that streetscape filled in.

It’s close to university District, but outside of that there’s nothing urban about the area. I’m mostly referring to 32nd ave in general, not being an urban feeling street in any way, I mean there isn’t even a continuous sidewalk on both sides of the avenue. I agree with CB Barnett about the...

The parking lot is bigger than it needs to be. They could’ve made the building 60 units with 44 parking spaces instead of the reverse. Outside of that, it fits the bill for what you could expect for that type of location. Maybe they could’ve done better with the corner facing 32nd Ave. but...

Some more stats. Natural increases for the big six metros. Tor 19,189 Cgy 7,578 Mtl 5,747 Edm 5,168 Van 4,897 Ott-Gat 2,394

Fingers crossed, it could still happen.

Also that home space project on 12th Ave. has officially opened

It’s grown on me a lot.

Paint out those arches, a nice solid white and the building gets a 👍 for me

Me three.

I’ve read through the past dozen pages and varying news articles, but haven’t been able to clarify if the UCP when they say above ground do they mean at grade or elevated?

As someone not originally from Calgary, I get the sense about one in every four native Calgarians are somehow connected to one of the Hart brothers.
