That's a fair point to make, but I did highlight development permits that have a pretty good chance of going through, CBRE reported on Highfield, CN Tower and Switch so that's going off at some point, along with that Abbey Lane proposal since they've proven they can get shovels in like their...

Ah sorry about that! Makes sense why the math seemed wrong if I didnt have that apparent.

How so? I had the original base number at 13,000 which was the census population in 2021. First row I just multiplied the number of units opened by the four main projects that opened the last two years which was 1132 (Parks, Switch, Peak and Falcon I) by the multipliers (1.3, 1.58, 1.7) and...

Probably? There was the deadline that they had to have BPs by November if I'm remembering correctly

Based on what Ian said, I did some more math on x1.3, and also x1.7 for funsies, and got these numbers out. Number of Units x1.3 calculation (Realistic) x1.58 calculation (Calgary Office Conversion Graphic) x1.7 (Wildly optimistic) Recently Opened: 1132 units 14,471 residents 14,788...

Adding this in, and the Autograph project by the new park, we're now at 3357 units that are under construction or at the development permit stage in downtown. We wanted momentum, and now we're finally seeing the start of it.

High-rise boom let's gooooooo

This AND ice village breaking ground this year? Not gonna lie, pretty good year for downtown if this continues (along with all the other projects that are going to start, and have started already)

Downtown Attainable Housing Incentive passed council earlier today, so let's get those cranes going :)
