I would be surprised if they land bank actually. That’s a lot of $ out for land to not pursue a return with this and the acquisition of the Grace Hospital site. I’m inclined to think they are serious and hope they can pull both off asap

Good urban design and an activated streetscape will do that. Cool building too

The potential arson suspect: I’ll just keep reposting this until the project name changes.

Would make for an excellent affordable housing site imo

Interesting to see this tier of Vancouver developers enter the Calgary market. It is mostly the Fraser Valley folks which makes a lot of sense.

Hopefully these are well serviced by bus, it is sufficiently dense and along a spine road, so i hope the service is frequent and runs good hours. If so, this should be fine.

Question for any City of Calgary planners on Land Uses for holding districts that are usually used for road widening or otherwise unknown areas that remained undeveloped or underdeveloped. The land uses in this area of Macleod Trail are C-COR, DC or C-C2 districts and are not holding districts...

I can't believe that mobility engineering has been able to push there agenda for arterials everywhere and we haven't even considered safe street designs on main streets at this point. We feel very far behind in terms of direction our mobility engineering standards and outcomes are headed, even...

If easy trim is not colour matched to the panel it is on, I think jail time is acceptable. Not too much time in the slammer, but not too little either.

love this project. The retail is such a welcome addition to this built form

No Frills is a good deal but landing Mr Lube was a home run

100%, there are many ways to integrate the +15 system with the eventual elevated stations.

I think integration of the +15 network is the ideal outcome and an achievable one that makes a lot of sense for our network. Just needs detailed design.

I'm aware this is unpopular, but I don't care at all about these +15s. I could give a shit if they get rebuilt, to me it's probably a better outcome if they do not. The 'arguably better human experience' is only for business-class people between the hours of 8am-4:30pm, hardly a way to build a...

Sure, push to whatever the allowable min height is to clear based on CPKC guidelines, i'm sure they can't be much different than the current ramps and covers over the line for the City Centre Parkade now. And I see wiping out seven +15s as a solution, not a problem. Reroute them at different...

LOL just saw the Alignment. I am clairvoyant, AECOM please send me a cheque. I think they should just bulldoze/remove the conflicting parkade entrance from 9th for the City Centre Parkade, it already has access/egress from 10 Ave. Run train at the +15-level, no higher along 2nd Street SW...

Nice sleuthing

Was a pretty aggressive density play with just BRT and the fact the site is sown in with Arterial only access. Would be a tough TIA to work through. Would be good to come in at a UD scale between 4-12 stories imo. Views from those towers would’ve been sick though

Should’ve been a mixed use development with waterslides 🌊💅
