Awesome. Maybe something will get built now that there’s a serious developer involved.

That's good news. Did you happen to see the file number? (LOC2025-xxxx)

A modest Christmas gift to the forum. If anyone is wondering what's planned for the fenced-off site on 14th in Kensington with the "Porte" signage on it, they've finally submitted a new DP for the site. Nothing exciting, but it would be nice to get that lot filled in. 104 units, architect is CTZN.

Nice. I take it this is the former Sola site:
calgary.skyrisecities.com
It is great to see Porte going all in for Calgary. They have purchased a couple of the Sarina ones in Marda Loop I think, and have 3 development projects at least (this one, 17th Ave and Currie Barracks).

Take away the retail and it becomes a typical suburban 6 floor build, but I prefer this to the old design. Also, almost anything built is an improvement to 14th.

I do like the townhome options in the back lane. I’m always up for a backlane surprise.

No no no you have to cross 14th and go down into the Chicken on the Way basement for that

It appears that they are planning to have on street parking on 14 Street. Hopefully that can spread to other spots on 14 St so that it doesn't feel like you are walking along the shoulder of a highway.
