General Construction Updates

Cressey is pretty sweet looking. One of the best I've seen in the Beltline since the boom started in 2003. Do we have renders somewhere?

So there is another tower permit in for the Beltline. I am a bit early in posting the direct link, as the details aren't yet available on developmentmap.calgary.ca, however you can see the permit on the parcels. DP2017-5640, located on 524-536 14 Ave SW. Interestingly, details aren't posted on Development Map, however the My Property map has them, saying it is 1 building, 200 units. NORR is the applicant.

I think that is #6 for 2017, right? This one, plus:
Grovsner (17th Ave and 4th Street SW)
Hines 500 Block (12th Ave and 4th Street SW)
Cressey (12th Ave and 11th Street SW)
ONE Properties (Curtis Block)
Cidex Hat Elbow River (Next to the Elbow River Casino)

Edit: Details are now up on the development map:

No public renders that I know of, but yes, looks good. One of the more interesting ones out there for sure.

Rofl, hilarious render catch of the day. They really seem to think they can portray MacLeod as some quaint side road and that no one will notice.

Interesting news on the proposal front. A DP has come in for a 34 unit development in Bridgeland. The developer is submitting the land use concurrent with the DP.

Also another DP in for a smaller 19 unit proposal a few houses East of The Delaney

Last but not least an interesting one from Marlborough. It's a DP for 146 units, but in a location that already has multi family......so not sure what this is about.

New commercial building going into Inglewood at 1421 9 Avenue SE. Occupancy is Q1 2018.

Not to sure who the developer is buy here is the website. Nice to see them keeping the heritage look instead of standard glass and spandrel.

I like the juxtaposition of older buildings with ultra modern buildings, and generally don't like the new buildings with a fake historic look, but smaller buildings like this built in an older style are fine. It should blend into the streetscape nicely.

The application for 146 units in Marlborough is a planned expansion of Applewood Village apartments, currently owned by Minto Properties

This property on 5th Avenue NW has signage up for a potential commercial development, the sign shows a rendering but I was driving so couldn't get a picture:

While the discussion has been going on about 'new condo' projects being put on the backburner, at least in downtown/Beltline area, a small condo project just launched.
It is called Scarboro 17 on 17 ave SW where the synagogue was. It is 52 units and the developer is Bow Developments.
