Cool project in Sunnyside at 936 1st Ave, pretty much directly behind Truman's Archer. Daas Architecture. Lots are cleared and DP is in advertising

I like the materials. Lot of texture. Hope they can pull it off!

 

[Robo]

I like it!

These mansions at Crescent Road still on construction. One almost finished.

Ugh

I wish Calgary had hundreds more of the small buildings.

"We don't want multi-family buildings they will be too large, will create shadows and are out of context with our neighbourhood's character. We want single-family homes that are the size of a small apartment building instead."

4th street definitely has potential. The problem with 4th street is how most of the properties are oriented, with the frontage facing the avenues instead of 4th street. The city needs to make it mandatory for any development on an end lot to face onto 4th street rather than the avenue, or face both 4th and the avenue.

Which is why I cheer every row house that shows up on 4th, facing the street.

Slowly but surely we're getting there, the amount of infill and small projects that have come around the past 10 years is very noticeable.

No appeal filed on this one (surprised me). The other Plaid project at 615 2nd ave is going for its 3rd trip to SDAB on May 12.

Do you know if the other project is being appealed by the CA or just by the immediate neighbours?

Neighbors:

Apparently you can write letters in support of a project appealed at the SDAB. Perhaps Skyrise members do that for the Bamburgh Place project?

You need to be an affected person (ie lease or own property nearby) to have standing at SDAB. Anyone can write a letter for consideration at the land use or development permit stage.

Now I'm curious, is there a prescribed distance from the subject site that this encompasses in regards to a landowner/leaser nearby?
