Sharp is running for Mayor. Getting crowded. Plus one more wide open council seat.

https://www.calgarytransit.com/plans---projects/long-term-strategic-plans.html I am not sure if route ahead identified additional colour routing, but more BRT routes are planned.

A new DP on the east end of International Avenue (might even be east of the official boundary of International Avenue). Either way, good to see some development happening along the Max Purple. https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-01538

Calgary Housing Company is in the early stages of a mixed income housing project in Forest Lawn, near the Max Purple BRT. Still early stages, but this project has been trying to get off the ground for years, looks like they are finally getting close. Some detailed renderings, despite no DP...

I don't think we have seen anything yet for the upcoming Block 11A/B on that map. Curious to see what it is.

A new DP has been submitted by Slokker for the Cobalt site. Cobalt was the 4 tower site at the corner of 19th Ave and 85th Street, this one: Quite a design change. Going to a 6 storey wood frame product, and unfortunately it looks like the mix of uses (retail and office) is gone as well...

Looks like a redesign for this project, a new DP has been submitted: https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-00969 Architect is now DAAS Architecture. Also a note for the mods, this thread is not linked to the project on the map. Is there a way to adjust that?

Is there a risk to the any of the airlines medium term viability if the revenue lost due to the collapse in bookings lasts for any extended period of time?

The DP drawings are now posted. A few changes from the renderings above. They realized they were short on their random rectangle quota: https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-01613

The area is pretty much ideal for a downtown style condo. 1st Street SW is a great high street, with many good restaurants. This building is a very short walk under the CPR tracks (underpass exists) to the heart of our downtown and most of the Class AAA office buildings in the core. The only...

https://www.canadianarchitect.com/promise-robotics-expands-with-new-warehouse-in-calgary/ Related to the posts about efficiency. I wonder if this is something the general public will even notice, but it could lead to some very positive changes in industry.

Going through my grandparent's old slides, we came across this skyline shot. Taken in 1950, from what is about the current Rosedale offleash dog park. You can see the sunnyside school central in the photo.

Was just about to post the same thing regarding an observation wheel. We maybe don't need a whole amusement park, but something like that would be cool. Some permanent food stalls for mini donuts and beef on a bun, have a year round livestock presence that people can observe/learn about, etc...

https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2025/03/calgarys-retail-market-booms-as-vacancy-rates-fall/ Hopeully this means that large spaces like The Bay downtown building, and the large anchor spaces in the malls, get absorbed quickly.

All 4 of them?

I am pretty sure this is just a paperwork exercise for a lapsed DP. Maybe it means Wexford is serious about moving forward, or maybe it is a case of someone messed up, let the iniital approval lapse, and they have simply resubmitted the exact same drawings (hence the photos from 2015) to just...

Looks like Truman took the large public opposition to heart, and has amended their plans for their land use application (and even the active development permit) to reduce the heights and density: https://hellowestdistrict.com/development/

It looks like a portion of 10th Street SW, between 13th and 12th Avenue SW, is in for closure: https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=LOC2024-0202
