Is that the old tire/auto shop that's been just a vacant piece of land for years now?

Yeah, used to be a Meineke. Shop burned down about 10 years ago now, surprised it took this long for something to go there, great location!

They replace the ones at 6th street yesterday. Seem to be replacing/moving all the signal poles along that stretch. Only a few years old. Anyone know why they are doing that?

Wish they would replace all the old nasty, rusty brown ones downtown.

Co-op closing 2 north Calgary grocery stores in March, cites poor sales performance - Calgary | Globalnews.ca
Calgary Co-op is moving forward with plans to shut down a couple of its stores – a decision that will impact dozens of jobs at both the Village Square and Beddington locations.
globalnews.ca
Co-op currently operates 21 grocery stores in Calgary. The company noted the loss of the two locations will in turn mean re-allocating resources to the redevelopment of the Oak Ridge and North Hill stores and a new Co-op is also planned to be built in Marda Loop.

Beddington has like 4 grocery stores, so not surprised one of them has to close.
Nothing comes up anywhere for Peng Architecture except a link to Albertacorporations.com Maybe an out of town architecture firm is doing the work, and hired this guy to be the local architect submitting plans etc..

Sort of related to urban development. Data from CMHC's latest report.
If thew price for Calgary seems a bit low, it's because it's the average prices for metro areas. Downtown or inner city areas might be higher.

It's interesting to me that average rent price in Vancouver is only 37% more than Calgary in this chart, but the average purchase price is 2.3X higher. I would have thought Vancouver rents were at least double Calgary.
I suspect it's something to do with the number being metro related. There are basically zero 2 bedroom apartments in Vancouver or Burnaby for 2K/month. Vancouver especially, a 2 bedroom place will run you closer to 3.5K a month, and if it's a nice new highrise, an 800 sq ft 2 bedroom place can be as high as 4.5k.
Of course with Calgary, 2 bedroom places in the core can easily run you more than 1.4K, but they tend not to be too much higher. Overall, the numbers for Vancouver actually make it look cheaper than it really is.
