There are quite a few older buildings that don’t need to be around anymore. As long are they clear out the crappy buildings this is fine but they prob won’t.

I thought so too. That is too bad honestly. Hopefully we hear more news out of EV in 2023 though

That’s not going to help her get it though

Wow I’m quite impressed with this actually. I’m glad to see that it got approved. Now they just need to build build build.

Because there was concern that the older residents would be at risk from an increase in traffic as a result of *checks notes* developing a parking lot. Terry Wong truly just sucks in all honesty.

Well that was probably one of the more annoying articles I’ve seen. Why do we do give such so much of a voice to negative nancies who have nothing better to do but complain?

Can’t wait to see what OneProperties comes up with. It’s a big development and supposedly going to be more in the luxury side of things.

Yet they can spend 90 million on an underused high tech parkade downtown. Also that plan to not lose any parking at a massive TOD is asinine. I’m glad it stalled, now with more flexibility options with work there is zero logic to have so much parking there.

That’d be great to see the 4th Ave project go ahead. That place is such a dump now.

It is Calgary. The answer is Never. Pathetic really, but we aren't really ever going to be a 'city'.

The problem is actually restrictive zoning that is harming Ontario. The Greenbelt is just an easy scapegoat for the fact that they will not allow any sort of densification at all across enormous swathes of the cities neigbourhoods.

They should not be allowed to build it this way. They should be forced to make it retail. Why in the world in 2022 would this City allow any more office space to be built in the downtown core?

Probably for a very good reason.

I know. However that block is a total dump. Especially when you compare to whats across the street with Telus Sky... Terry Wong might actually help preserve the heritage buildings and force a bit of a redesign on 7th Ave. Enemy of my enemy and all that in this one case.

No reason that portion can't be redesigned, It isn't too much of an ask this early in the process.

Honestly I get the sentiment, but just go down there. It isn't nice along 7th Avenue and hasn't been for I do not even know how long. It is in an excellent location that needs a boost like this in density for residential. Maybe the city can get them to incorporate the old heritage buildings...

Calgary is going to fall behind Edmonton if they don't make good steps forward like this.

As if. Calgarians freaked out over the Guidebook for Great Communities thanks to gaslighting. We will just be like Vancouver that way. Without any of some of the proper planning or TODs, they have.

You are missing one that is planned for Silverton / Silverado.

But I thought everyone loves Brutalist / Soviet style apartments! /s
