Nostalgia Townlet I ?m I ?s I Jayman Homes

[MichaelS]

As suggested by @CT (Chinese_T) in the general urban development thread, I am creating a thread for the new community of Nostalgia Townlet in the deep, deep....deep southeast of Calgary. We don't normally talk about the greenfield suburbs on this forum, but we are starting to see larger projects appear in them, and I think Jayman Homes is planning something pretty special for this one from what I have heard. I will try to keep up with the development permits that come in for it, mostly focusing on the larger buildings, not each individual single family home.

So first, a bit of background / information to start the thread off. Where is Nostalgia? It is located south of the community of Rangeview, in the Ricardo Ranch Area Structure Plan. Where is that? Well, go to the south health campus in Seton, and then continue southeast for about another 2.5 kms. Basically located here.

Jayman's marketing website is here:

The outline plan (so the community plan / design) was approved by Calgary Planning Commission on August 1, 2024:
Report, Background, Applicant Submission, Outline Plan

Here is the approved outline plan, which I will use to do the typical project tracking I do on other communities like West District and Springbank Hill.

1. Presentation / Sales Centre

I definitely don't mind the art deco, wouldn't mind it making a comeback over most of the modern design we get today. Maybe in the form of a tower or two downtown.

Architecture all by NORR, some DP’s have already been submitted.

 

[MichaelS]

The first major DP (besides the sales centre) has been submitted. Not quite up on DMap, DP2024-08966. 6 storys, residential over retail. Only referred to as Site 1.

The site plan to orient yourself (up is north)

Definitely an improvement on what we usually get on the edge of town!

i love this design, can we make it every where in Calgary

Would've preferred they went with the art-deco aesthetic everywhere...but I don't hate the idea of this. Although I'm a little sceptical of the final outcome, as I have feeling they'll cheap out on a lot of the materials and details, which is what makes old-world design like this really work. You see some really beautiful neo-traditional buildings in many parts of Europe, but I'm not sure we have the craftsmanship to pull it off. Hopefully it doesn't end up looking like the European section of a theme park.

This reminds me of Tianducheng.

Beat me to it! I think this has a chance of being less bleak though.
