So, the first DP is in, this one for "Lot 3". Architect is "Pact" and developer is "Alpha Built" out of Edmonton, who have done/are doing a few decent buildings here in Calgary including the 6 storey Kingslanding building and some of the midrises in Shawnee Park. I'm just not a fan of these...

I'm assuming "normal retail" refers to stuff that meets day-to-day needs as opposed to high-end drinking and dining? I think it speaks to the broader issue of gentrification leading to a loss of budget-friendly local businesses and seeing them replaced by chains that can afford the higher...

It's like they deliberately removed everything interesting, cool or creative from the previous version. What a letdown.

I can't believe how quickly this one is going.

It'll be interesting to see what 20th Ave looks like in a few years. I can't think of any other street in the inner city areas that is seeing as much new development.

To be fair this just indicates the building plan based on the land use they applied for. Assuming their Land Use application is successful, Development Permits (DPs) will need to be applied for. Without seeing those DPs, all we know is the heights being applied for, and. Considering the...

I was thinking the exact same thing. Once the pension funds start contemplating development, time to sell. The pension funds and their developer spinoffs have predicably awful timing.

Wowsers. The first image really gives an idea of its impact on the skyline. This complex might just give us a better north-south skyline than an east-west one. That ought to safely make us a very distant second to TO when it comes to impressive skyline from pretty much any angle.

Dont forget the new BMO Centre! It would be nice if at least the building names somewhat indicated what the buildings were being used for...

Would love to see action on that site, but not getting my hopes up. Between the market slowing down and this being Quadreal...

I heard recently that real estate makes up 28% of BC's economy. I expect condo construction in those markets will be slow for a long time. Calgary I can see faring better, in part because we haven't overbuilt to the same extent and also the value proposition here is better. But we went...

This pit might get a fair bit deeper still, but I agree that the Imperia hole seems larger regardless.

Looks like the crane is being erected today

Calgary has grown so much in the past 4 years that I'd argue that 2021 census data is practically obsolete (although, granted it's the best we have). We've pretty much added a Greater Victoria since then.

Their website seems to have all sorts of errors on it. Although, a 2 bed unit at $2000 doesn't seem like a bad deal.

I agree, those actually look quite good, O-tac!

I don't believe there is any commercial in this one, which I agree could have been really cool

DP for a new development in East Village being called "Lyric". Developer is Ayrshire, architect is Metafor. Being this close to the riverfront, setbacks apply so this was inevitably going to be 6 storeys. Encouraging to see a few applications in East Village, as well as Trico's project just...

Unfortunately, with the state of the east side of downtown right now I think there would be a lot of concerns about student safety if it were proposed to turn the old CBE building into a school.
