Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Not a proposal just an observation… Meredith Road has so much potential to be an interesting spot… like look at this!? A brewery and a couple of restaurants. Big patio out back fronting Meredith from that big old building along Edm. Ugh!

Looks like they're getting started on the Eau Claire Place I conversion.

Good News - Leonard Group is working on redeveloping two, let’s call them, heritage homes (existing commercial) on 34th Ave in Marda Loop.

Hoping for an outdoor patio behind the buildings.

I agree with you UrbanWarrior, this would be a great little street if a developer would show those buildings some love. I doubt they have any heritage status, but they are still very cool looking buildings with character.

Can’t beat the location. It would great to see some love given to the buildings, especially the brick 3 storey.

Random urban development update.

I absolutely love the density transition from downtown to Mission. Skyscrapers transitioning into high-rise, residential and low crude office, transitioning into mid rise, residential.

The City's Housing and Affordability Task Force released their report today. The recommendations go to Council in June. If Council actually accepts their recommendations and then approves the by-law amendments, there could be some big changes coming to Calgary zoning. I'm expecting this to be a big fight but hopefully Council does the right thing and accepts the recommendations.

Housing and Affordability Task Force

The Task Force is to advise and recommend policies and actions to increase, measure, and manage housing and affordability across the housing continuum.

I heard one councilor speak this week that would definitely endorse this change. So there's one.

I fear the change will energize the neighbourhood level anti redevelopment forces into a city wide force that we can’t contain.

A Houston solution which contains the fallout I’m 100% behind: petitions which can lock in current rules for 20-40 years with 50% neighbourhood approval in a vote. The price the collective pays in not having 10% of land subject to reform is worth getting the reform everywhere else.

I hope we can get over the flashy renderings and realize the ground level looks like every other sterile corporate tower in Calgary.

Does anyone know anything about this project on Brava's website?

 

[MichaelS]

Brava is no longer in business, or at least dramatically scaled back. That site was sold to Rarebuilt homes, who are planning townhomes there. The DP has been submitted. I posted a rendering in the Springbank Hill thread, you can see it on Rarebuilt Homes website.

Has anyone heard anything about this project proposed for Ogden close to the new Green Line station?
