While this proposal is not a dramatically large development, for many it might be an important one to watch for the cultural impact. The land use change for the building the Ship and Anchor is in goes to CPC this week:
LOC2025-0080
Trying to read the tea-leaves here for what the expected impact will be to Calgary's most famous pub. Seems like a fairly substantial project, but curious attempt to retain the existing office building where the Ship is. Perhaps that's a sign they want to keep it operating in the same location? Not sure how that would work in practice, but otherwise I don't really get why you'd preserve the existing building that's fairly obsolete.
Anyone have any theories or behind-the-scenes on this one?
I hope this is one of those cases where the developer knows the real value in their property and does whatever needs to be done to keep the gold mine that is the Ship operating.
