Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Yes on the area they made a dog park as a placeholder for tower 3.

Could see tower 3 being changed to condo as the purpose built rental market is saturated.

Would be great if the small office building adjacent to the tower 3 could also be redeveloped

Maybe Doug will get his wish of a large Vegas style resort/Casino development on the grounds?

Site is too small to accomidate sufficient kitsch. Need something like this but even more Vegasy

"201-217 4th Street NE" -- going to the planning commission this week. I don't believe we currently have a forum for this @Surrealplaces

From a community association letter, looks like it'll be up to 80 metres/24 stories.

I don't know if we need a thread for this specific project just yet, I say wait until we see a development permit. These zoning exercises happen often, with little to show for it years later. It will be interesting to see if we get something here, let alone a 24 storey high rise.

I don't know about yall, but I think our 2030 top 20-something buildings diagram is pretty cute (minus Stephen Avenue Quarter)

It may not be the most popular take, but I think this one might actually be too dense..

It looks nice, but almost comes off as a luxury finished Kowloon on the ground. While the open plaza idea is great, it's going to be perma-shadowed with four towers like that. Maybe lose the SE tower but keep the podium part?

I definitely disagree, I think this would be an amazing boost to the area and city. Sure hope this goes ahead as is! Calgary is slowly becoming a real city.

I’m confused as to for where this is proposed.

Pretty soon here we're going to see a BP for Arriva 2. I'm joking but also not. Victoria Park/East Beltline is stepping all over East Village's toes.

Oh great to hear. And yes, EV really is taking a long time to come together, and won't be nearly as dense as Victoria Park, which I feel is a missed opportunity, but it will still be nice when it is fully built out (in like 15 years lol)

Kinda crazy to see the height difference between the W and Boradway on 17th, which was previously the proposal for the tallest residential in Calgary only a few mere months ago.

Hey something is happening by Brentwood Station. Was only able to snap a quick pic. It's beside the building Smart used to be in.
