This is crazy that this is going ahead. Totally off my radar. Huge win here.

Ahhhh, I remember that story. Freaking shame about SDAB basically kyboshing the whole process. I, for one, hate contextual front setback rules. Ruins streetscapes, creates unusable space, reduces ability for functional front porches that actually interact with the sidewalk.

Great looking development. Only issue is the front yards are too big. More useful in the rear. I would imagine it is a bylaw issue though. Too bad.

Man, you are on top of this stuff. That was applied for like two days ago. Really appreciate it.

Wondering when they would come in for this one. Glad to see it.

Based on the Census, Beltline has grown on average by ~540 people per year, from 2003 until 2017. It is incredible growth.

First floor or two with retail and parkade above could be a creative solution. Would really depend on the materials/design of that parkade wall though. Both Guardian and Colours did a decent job I think. Other option would be to significantly reduce the residential parking requirement. Right...

Calgary Planning Commission referred it to go back to amend the land use application for something that would facilitate parking at the back. If I understand correctly.

Hey all, Fusili from SSP here. Looks like I'm joining Skyrise Cities (sounds really close to Cities Skylines, which I play way too often now), because SSP is a total dumpster fire. Looking forward to constructive discussions on construction, development and city building. So..... cupcakes?
