Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Or down in the Beltline along the CP tracks.

That would be a great location due to it being busy during the day from the downtown crowd and busy in the evening with the Beltline crowd. Problem would be land costs. The value is too high for a one storey building.

Key is building on constrained sites where a market or a simple building like a beer hall would be near the highest and best use.

Like these:

A land use redesignation has been submitted for the corner of 17th Avenue and 10th Street NW, up near SAIT:

DMAP

The land owner is looking to do a couple of multi-residential buildings, with supporting retail at grade on 10th Street:

Because it is just land use, no DP has been submitted, so I am not sure how "final" these renderings are:

Good location, always be able to rent out units there.

I think that's awesome. Those houses they are replacing are falling apart and I've been expecting something to developed there but figured it would be duplexes.

A couple of tidbits from the latest Inglewood CA Newsletter (planning committee report, page 30):

From the column:
Landstar Developments has a proposal for the Trail Appliances/Starbucks site, adjacent to the Nash, for a mixed-use building to be developed in conjunction with a project on the Nash lands which are zoned to go to 12 storeys....
From Landstar's site:

And this one also from the newsletter,
We also heard from RNDSQR whose project encompasses both the 12 St/9 Ave SE car lot and the CIBC building.It didn’t mention height, but we have heard something in the area of 38m.

Do the "Nash lands" me we would lose the heritage building it sits in?

Let's hope the Nashlands doesn't include the Nash itself.

 

[Mountain Man]

I'd be surprised if that meant the old building the Nash is in.

 

[Surrealplaces]

Agree. I would bet it is for the decent sized parking lot behind the Nash.

 

[haltcatchfire]

Don’t worry. The Nash is provincial heritage protected.

The rendering shows (in grey) the hotel & barn as 'stand alones' from the project.

There was a failed proposal for the parking lot by the National around 2004 by the same developer as Union Square. I believe the site has water table issues.

All of Calgary that's in the river valley has water table issues, shouldn't be enough to derail a project. I'm glad that project didn't go ahead, we have more than enough faux history lol.

If I remember correctly, that site was really bad, like a former creek that had been filled
