It has always been planned as simply a flyover, with no connecting ramps to/from Stoney. Most likely due to the spacing between Memorial and 16th Avenue, as well as Memorial and 17th Avenue SE.

Thanks to @CBBarnett for bringing this project to attention in the transit thread. Another substantial suburban project, this one in Skyview Ranch. A collection of 9 buildings, both commercial and residential, ranging in heights from 3 - 12 stories...

As indicated in the generali Unversity District thread by @NWUrbanism, Block 22 by Gracorp Properties now has a DP in, so I thought I would create a thread for it. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2024-02355 Gracorp's website on the project: https://gracorp.com/2024/02/block-22/

The land use for this one (the new interation with townhomes) goes to CPC this week: Report, Background, Applicant Submission, CA Letter

This is being done as a way to streamline the development process, not only saving time (the approximately 4-6 months needed for a land use change) but costs as well (the holding costs of the property for that time period, and the application fees as well).

A bit more information is available on a land use redesignation in the Springbank Hill area. I won't create a project on the map for it yet (I typically wait until a development permit has been submitted), but you can get an idea of what is being considered. Similar in scale to Willows Phase 4...

Saw this on Linkedin this morning. Sounds like this one is getting ready to start construction:

A few more renderings of this one that we haven't seen, from ASI's newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/arlingtonstreet/volume2issue1?e=c752591137

It is the worst performing intersection in the city. This isn't my opinion, this is backed by data. I am not sure if things have improved since the west ring road has opened up (I know I no longer use Bow/Sarcee because of it).

A couple of the development permits are going to CPC next week. First is the Bucci Townhomes (#10 on the map) Report, Background, Applicant Submission, DP Drawings The second one is Skyway at Medicine Hill Phase 2 for Deveraux (#11 on the map): Report, Background, Applicant Submission, DP...

The Marda Loop project is partnered with Truman, not Royop. I have a feeling it will move at a much quicker pace.

While not building autos, this isn't THAT different from what is happening with industrial developent in our region. The County is booming, Calgary is starting to catch up a bit (just due to sheer demand I think) but there were many years where we barely had any sort of industrial development...

This Canada Post building, which is surrounded by the now approved Midtown outline plan, seems like a pretty good candidate: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9919902,-114.0696432,3a,60y,105.2h,82.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sm_P75-u786YEs_1djafg4Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Interesting article about Hines and how bullish they are on Canada: https://renx.ca/hines-bullish-canada-cre-returns-outstrip-other-countries From the article: "And the total quantity of supply in Calgary is the lowest per capita in Canada. We’ve only got three units per 100 people . . . It’s...

Given the pace of building in East village, I don't know if that would be any better than Matco.
