happy the design in calgary is getting more interesting in a good way rather than the usual interesting in a bad way.

This looks shockingly good for a lot that effectively fronts an alley on one side and the ctrain tracks on the other. I really hope Minto can pull this one off.

This was my exact thought. Tough lot. Nice design. Will depend on quality of materials.

This is giving me Berlin vibes. I saw a few buildings that looks kinda like this.

Looks good, though Minto do a lot of VE on their projects, so expect fiber cement or EIFS as the final product! lol.

The DP for this one heads to Planning Commission next week:
Report, Background, DP Drawings, UDRP Comments, Applicant Submission, CA Letter

From the DP drawings, nothing we haven't seen already in this thread:

Does anyone have experience living in one of these Minto condos (Annex in Hillhurst or Era in Bridgeland)? I've noticed they have a high number of Airbnbs.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Annex is in Sunnyside, just to be a nitpick haha If i recall correctly, Era was bought out by a Toronto-based investor/group, so it's like all AirBnb and short term rental. Unsure about Annex.

Oh ffs.

 

[haltcatchfire]

Good grief, how could anyone feel they had a valid appeal against this. It's near perfect.

 

[Chinook Arch]

CA appealing? Or is it that Stubicar lady?

 

[Nimbus]

99.99% sure it is not the CA.
