This is holy shit bad

Anyway you can post a link to the location?

Those cases haven't been challenged by a DC that shadows an existing zoning like R-CG.

I think that goes without saying. My point is there's precedent now, so I wouldn't depend on having a RC as a back-up plan, if the blanket rezoning is approved.

A RC can be overridden by DC land use. See Banff Trail case law. Unless an entire street goes the heritage preservation route, homeowners are SOL.

When dealing with Strategic - absolutely. That money would've disappeared faster than a fart in the wind and the project would've still stalled out.

How long before a "fire" breaks out at this building?

I heard over the weekend that the CIty spent $2m determining what to do with that tree. They had to form a special committee to decide it's fate. JFC

The City should let CMLC manage this and get it built.

Confirmed. They also bought the PBA lands down the street at the corner of 17th Ave and 1st Street.

I'm a little sad about this. Sunterra seems to be the only premium grocery store that can make it work.

Not my favourite design, but not every CMLC building can be world-class. It's giving me Platform vibes, but with wood. The interiors look great though.

If the owner is on this forum, I will gladly take the property off your hands for the same inflation adjusted price. DMs open ;) This was an absolute fleecing. This is considered a TOD site, due to it's proximity to Erlton station. A lot of density will be put on this site eventually.

Crazy price

Great to see. There's so much potential with the parkland surrounding Fort Calgary.
