@MichaelS very interesting..... "NW Hub...forecasted to have the highest concentration of jobs and population outside the Centre City. It’s already the second largest employment area in Calgary" @DiscoStu Good point. The $175 million price tag for 5 km doesn't seem to bad really. It was ranked...

Woof! Just kidding (mostly) definitely an improvement.

Very logical approach to the parking and in general a good move for Calgary to think more holistically about parking in terms of growing out of supply and demand. EV is pretty incredible spot. Great addition.

Is there any discussion about a transportation solution for Foothills? My girlfriend works here and she says there is no parking (despite the website saying they haven't reduced the number of stalls). Apparently there was a gondola study years ago that suggested the cost of a 5km line would be...

Nice! What is the status on the Truman in the neighbourhood? Adult complex I believe.

Yeah those guys are goofballs.

This is very cool, lots of potential for street-level activity and dense. I think it would be cool to see a bit more articulation or height in some areas of the podium just to break up the monotony a bit. Looks like a great addition.

I like how there are several connections from Lakeview but I think it is not nearly urban enough. Looks like wide roads, garden-city planning with lots of surface parking lots to kill anything urban-like... it's very dull. With the reservoir nearby, there is no realistic lack of amenity space...

$35 million for the overpass? (thanks for sharing the video) What would be the cost of a connection to Westbrook (LRT above ground) $50m / km? $200 million?

Obviously that is the captive audience. You could build garbage and they would come.

@MichaelS really appreciate the link, thank you. I need to double back a bit on opinion now that I've dived into the uses and the plan that was provided. It is a corridor site, not a residential site, I love the hotel which will be a great amenity for the hospital. The massing / building...

My thoughts: 1. Inglewood's history is real estate speculators wanting to get the train to inflate their real estate values and make it the core of the city. Beautiful facades, cheap buildings. I would say that density is strongly in favour of that history. 2. Who the developer is matters, of...

The new facitility will include 100 private units with private washrooms, 90 childcare spaces, in-house employment and counselling resources, a fitness and wellness space, and a community kitchen. It's a project fully developed by women, with an all-female executive board and architectural...

That strip mall is actually quite successful since it was refaced, I struggle to see how a mixed use is a higher value for that site. Har-Par sold their cigarette-burn portfolio behind Chinook and surrounding area earlier this year at a valuation of $208,000 / door. Proximity to that train...

Overall, it looks like a business campus on the edge of a residential neighbourhood with engineering-firm sized floorplates. Honestly, if this is approved, did the community have any objections on this? It is ugly. I would not want to live next to this...given its not a beautiful neighbourhood...

I'm going to take the render as a "massing only" image. It looks like a suburb business park / ugly university campus massing. It is frankly pretty terrible. I personally don't like big green spaces on these bigger plots. It is just a waste, better off to throw some townhomes and a bit of a grid...

Sticker shock is pretty intense. $19.5 million, so based on 122 units $160,000 per unit. Fucking crazy. Even for land + U/G (assuming it is completed and no repairs required). Land at $50 - 65k / unit for this area sure. U/G should be $50k / stall, rough numbers. Where is the extra $45k /...

Site Area: +/- 40,729 Square Feet Current Status: Site has active building permits in place as well as a partially built parkade structure. Opportunity exists to inherit and complete current building. Land Use: DC 41Z2022 Site 14 (Direct Control) Located just blocks from the Bow River, the...

CBRE has the listing. Just got the email today.

Fortunately/unfortunately most of us seem to be pretty much agreeing. Tangibly, what would make the difference? Rough sketches: 1. As-right development permit availability at planner's discretion with higher tolerance threshold (remove community consultation, put a price on additional density /...
