Well thank you! Just trying to make our city better one building at a time

So will this building have an elevator or just stairs? Seems too narrow to have a standard elevator.

Has an elevator and two stairs (scissor). This and Mainframe would have benefitted greatly from single stair reform.

Do you work for MoDA or something, @CallmeCatbread ?

DP for this one is headed to next week's Calgary Planning Commission meeting for decision

 

[Tothewest]

Good! different, fun, modern....Alpha's day's are numbered

 

[Albertasaurus]

Yeah I really like this project. Calgary needs a lot more projects of this scale and quality to "fill the gaps" between the towers.

As per the above:
Report, Background, Applicant Submission, DP Drawings, Applicant Outreach Summary, Victoria Park BIA letter of opposition

I think both adjacent properties are still for sale... Hopefully someone buys them and develops them ahead of the Stampede Station add to the area.

The opposition letter doesn't contain a lot of specifics, only some general areas of concern. Given the layout of the parcel, there's not much that can be done, and the issues for this parcel are the same as they are for the other buildings already there.

Areas of Concern:
 Access/accessibility (vehicle, pedestrian, cycling) - Not sure why this is a concern. There's an issue for pedestrians and cyclists??
 Parking or loading zones - No alleyway would make it difficult, but it's no different than the two parcels beside it.
 Garbage and recycling facility locations - Again, same as the other buildings on the block. The applicant also submitted a plan for how they will deal with waste and recycling
 Site layout - No specifics on what the issue is. What else can someone do with this type of parcel? IMO a small hotel is the best possible use.

Seems like the appellant would like for this to be a parking lot with a bike rack, park bench and a garbage bin.

I read through the CA letter, and IMO, it's BS. I'm really surprised they're against it, I mean how would this negatively affect the area? There are no downsides to building this.
