That looks cool as hell!
RNDSQR has a new rendering of a 20-unit townhouse development: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbz_ih_hgRj/?taken-by=rndsqr_
Looks like it will be at the corner of 16 St and 48 Ave SW (in Altadore across from Monogram coffee)
It looks kinda 70's, yet, also looks new and fresh.RNDSQR has a new rendering of a 20-unit townhouse development: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbz_ih_hgRj/?taken-by=rndsqr_

Totally. Courtyard space wold be more usable than that front lawn space.Great looking development. Only issue is the front yards are too big. More useful in the rear. I would imagine it is a bylaw issue though. Too bad.
I think this is exactly it. Back around 2013ish, Brookfield had a townhome development planned for this site that went through the "transforming planning" process at the City. It got through approvals easily enough, but ended up being refused by SDAB because of the front setback relaxation they had proposed (it was a project with a similar layout to The Henry in Parkdale).Great looking development.

Apartment vacancy rate declines despite a strong increase in rental supply In the Calgary Census Metropolitan Area (CMA), the apartment vacancy rate in the primary rental market declined to 6.3% in October 2017 from 7.0% in October 2016. This represents the first year-over-year decrease since 2013. Rental demand in Calgary has improved compared to the previous year, and outpaced the amount of new rental supply added to the market.
Someone told me rental vacancies were at 10%, so it's nice to hear that they've come down. Also could be good news for future developments.Interesting stats from CMHC for the rental market in Calgary. Seems rental demand is keeping up with supply so far.

That is fantastic news. So it's then not surprising how many rental projects are going ahead. Hopefully it bodes well for the rumoured conversion of the Barron Building to residential.
