Because mobility engineers make collector/arterial streets into unwelcoming stroads everywhere in this city. You’re trying to to force density onto unhospitable urban arterials like Macleod trail, 16 Ave North or apparently Bow Bottom. I would suggest you push the City to make these even...

Province purchasing larger yards and protecting them from dreaded public access for there favourite campaign donors

Is there a DP yet for this? Curious what the plan is for the exterior

Which examples for DC or the Netherlands are you talking about?

I see, so would the shops/retail/active frontages orient towards Macleod Trail as the main street? What aspects of what Macleod Trail make building something like Brentwood or Metrotown unattractive to developers?

What kind of changes do you think could be made to Macleod trail to make redevelopment more attractive and what kind of developments would you like to see?

I’m not sure this amount of articulation and fenestration will pass muster under the new building code. Lots of thermal breaks. I could be wrong

Are you 67 or 18 years old? I’m confused about your perspective, honestly

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...
