I went there to upgrade some high school courses about 20 years ago and it was a gong show in the morning and afternoon. Probably didn't help all the students were adults from all over Calgary so most drove their own vehicle to/from. Probably worse than when it was just a regular school for the...
It looks like the land use change was approved? The developer submitted a new or amended Development permit application on March 19th. Not sure what if anything has changed in the application.
I live within earshot of the Ranchman's and indeed it does suck. Hearing Cadillac Ranch and Fishin' in the Dark hourly for 10 days gets old really fast haha.
No more dithering. Just build it already. How many tax dollars already wasted from all the grifters on this project with endless studies and committees etc. We're starting to look like California (the ugly part of California).
My primary residence condo is more central though not really inner city (Elbow Dr near Heritage) and the assessment is up 48% from last year. My rental condo is more suburban (Millrise) and is up 33%.

Redstone, Cityscape, Skyview Ranch are overpriced. Probably over 90% of the people in those areas are newcomers to Canada who don't know any better and the realtors take advantage of that. Large amounts of mortgage fraud to get the loans approved too.
My primary residence condo I'd barely break even if I sold today. If I sold it two years ago I would have lost a significant amount. My rental property condo I bought in 2018 for $240K would sell for around $350k today. So there has been some recovery in condo prices. I think the higher interest...
I wonder if they'll build multiple towers in phases like this basic rendering shows from 2023: https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/urban-development-and-proposals-discussion.27153/post-2005466
Just to the NE of this plaza on Frobisher Dr (runs parallel to Heritage) there's another...
Many of us in the highly aviation specific jobs do not live in the NE or even North Central. It's more mixed. The bulk of the generic service workers at the airport probably live in the NE.
But if they're going to build a train to the airport anyway why not give airport staff a discounted rate...
