Give me T&T baby. Probably not, but would be the only redeeming characteristic of this horrible podium

We can only hope, good lord this looks cheap

Wouldn't even need the trucks to reverse if they created a turning head on the SW corner of the subject parcel that could accommodate an SU-9 truck's turning radius and submit a swept path analysis to show it works, i don't see why that wouldn't be acceptable design to accommodate truck loading...

What moron in mobility engineering required two curb cuts onto a Main Street when the lane configuration could've provided the neccessary vehicular access? Or is this first submission on DP (pre-DTR1) that the applicant submitted? Red entrance is the dead end lane that could be maintained but...

Well this is now my favourite project in the City. The arches, materials, scale and brick screening is perfect. 10/10 and it’s affordable housing, damn. It’ll be a miracle if it makes it through tender with this level of design and materials, but here’s to hoping it does!

100% accurate. This looks like something built in 2001 on Commercial Drive or Main Street. And I like it haha

Yes one or two might be if they have a pension fund or a similar end user in tow to buy it. But this landowner almost guaranteed does not. If Cidex owned this, maybe that could happen

Land lift only matters when the land transacts as you eluded to. But in calgary so many people have inherited land or got in so low that they will just sit on it instead of selling for what makes sense today. The problem isn’t so much that I can’t lowball what the land is worth in a realistic...

So many other pre zoned sites for multi family, and condo prices don’t support concrete tower construction in this location (or almost anywhere in the city). Would take an eternity to build out as planned and the owner has no background in land development and home building. Would work at a...

I really like the brick and the deeper coloured window reveals. Does anyone know a good local supplier for these types of window reveals? I'd like to price them out. These things...

This is genuinely my favourite project in the City right now, by a long shot. scale design and materials. Really good stuff

The density proposed is unlikely to be built, and the 2500 unit count is very likely higher than will be built. It’s a hard CA and community to get this through, so I would take the same approach with the LOC as they did. Go in high and get whittled down to what you actually intend to build. I...

I think it would. We have too many people that come from land development in the city that don’t care about the velocity of capital return, they are taking advantage of the City’s want for density to hold for extortionate land values for unproven assets with no comps. Spread density out it could...

I toured this site and I’ve never seen a multifamily development with more parking infrastructure and car orientation. It’s crazy. Check out the suburban power centre parking lot attached it sucks big time. All of the commercial spaces on the upper parking lot are leased and none of the street...

Apparently a lot of money is going to be spent on interior fixturing of the retail. I am expecting good things

It’s just so sterile. Art installation is boring and not useful/functional, lots of expanses of blank walls and little street front activation. Lack of street front activation at a ´major intersection of two main streets’ leads me to believe redevelopment of the entertainment district will be...

Only building besides StreetSide’s that has come out of all the rezoning applications in Inglewood and Ramsay after all those approved LOCs. So far the only other sites have got land use redesignations for mid rise concrete and this is the only one that will get built. Happy to see this get...

Site was for sale and wasn’t an appealing price. But Bow Mark just did the sidewalk indem work, so either InDevelopments was on the hook to do it as a condition of DP release, or it sold and an influx of cash has entered the picture because it sold. Not seeing a lot of trades activity though

Thé 114 Ave and 29 St SE site will almost certainly be townhomes or stacked townhome buildings, maybe one or two 4 storey apt. Retail will be strip mall turning its back on the streets around it. Tons of surface parking and hardie panel and EZ trim as far as the eye can see. I don’t even think...

Yay, another land use redesignation to pump the speculative value of another site in Inglewood, without anything ever getting built in the neighbourhood.
