Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Apparently, all tenants were offered to stay for another year. This seems odd given that Gallery is sold out, and was supposed to have occupancy in 2026, which would be a short timeline if they don't start till November 2024.

Perhaps its due to the prep construction for the Greenline? 1st St and the surrounding areas have been under construction for months.

According to DOPs Instagram they are no longer moving locations in December.

So I guess whatever was supposed to be going on that site is either delayed or cancelled.

Christ can we just get some more towers built and coming down the pipeline?

Truman probably don't have the capacity to build all these projects, those guys seem to be the biggest and busiest developer in the city these days.

Saw this on Instagram last night...

Could this be the arena? underpass? hotel?

This lot with the old house that has a red roof is for sale. I believe the lot just to the south had a land use change.

It is the red roof in the bottom-left.

New DP for the old Silver Inn restaurant on Centre Street. My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

It's ugly, but also looks to be a case of a bad rendering job. It'll probably end up looking better than the rendering, though it'll still be mundane.

Saw a sign up on Ogden Road for an open house on UrbanStar's two Ogden projects: https://qpengage.ca/project/ogden-projects

Land use redesignations, Ogden Rd: https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=LOC2023-0196

• commercial and residential uses in street oriented-oriented buildings with commercial uses required at street level, facing the commercial street [Mixed Use - Active Frontage (MU-2f7.0h40.5) District]
• a maximum building height of 40.5 metres about 12 storeys

24 St SE: https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=LOC2023-0197

• a Direct Control (DC) District based on the Multi-Residential - High Density Low Rise (M-H1) District, which allows for primarily multi-residential buildings (e.g. apartment buildings) that may have commercial storefronts
• a maximum building height of 24 metres, about 6 to 8 storeys (an increase from the current maximum of 9 metres)

Hopefully something comes of those projects. I think Urban Star has had some other proposals that didn't go anywhere iirc.

Urban Star is a land investor and it’s unlikely they are ever going to be building projects like these. In theory the model is they will entitle and then sell these projects to a developer that will build them, but I can’t remember any examples of that actually happening.

The land use change I mentioned, has a DP under review. Very different than anything in the area.

Some intensification coming to Spruce Meadows. Won't be downtown level, but will add some retail and services to the area:

Perked up at this:

The Area Structure Plan also includes the eventual redevelopment of the current All Canada Ring to include a 12,000-seat stadium with a restaurant and skyboxes that would host sports, soccer, equestrian and outdoor events.

Should be interesting to see how the site evolves, it's much more accessible by car since Stoney has open in the SW.
