Wow. I didn't realize air travel was still so slow. I wonder if this has to do with the lingering covid restrictions. For those who've flown recently are the covid passports a pain in the ass or reasonably seamless? Cause I'm not gonna lie, the fact that I have to jump through even more hoops...

Love it. I've long though that those lands along the CP tracks would be best used as high density development. I could totally see a train station to Banff being a pretty solid selling feature of a new high density neighborhood in that spot. Especially if the train line doubled as regional...

Can't wait for some of those parking lots west of MacLeod get developed. I hate that there's such a massive dead zone between all these towers and the Beltline.

A part of me hopes he does, despite the fact that I'm not really a UCP voter, I'll take Kenny over most of the alternatives.

Caught a peek of this driving down Crowchild and they've started the wood frame. Looked maybe 2-3 stories progress so far. On another note, that school across the street is primed for redevelopment. It's all boarded up and as far as I can tell is being preped for demolition. Does anyone know...

One bar's already open and looks like 3 more are on the way! https://myuniversitydistrict.ca/uncategorized/whatsnewatud/ This place is gonna be bumping in the not to distant future!

I use Neo as well and I've been really impressed with them. The cash back system is great and I like that they partner with local businesses. Feels pretty good knowing I basically get a 10% discount at some places. It's definitely not a replacement for the big banks in my mind, I still have...

Small land use redesignation application in the SE corner of 19th street and 24th Ave NW. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=LOC2022-0081 This corridor is on the move! Can't wait for some of the other 24th Ave projects to kick off!

In response to the previous post, there's a new DP for the parcel in the NW corner. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2022-03155 Looks like 2 multi residential buildings and 7 townhouse buildings. Really glad to see these parcels start filling in. Once the first phase of U/D is...

We'll have to wait and see what the renders look like, and what materials they're using for the tower's. But so far I'm into it, I really like that the courtyard links 7th and 8th Ave. Not going to lie though, I could care less about the buildings along 7th. It's sad to see old buildings go...

A buddy of mine used to live in that apartment building and trust me when I say it wasn't anything worth keeping around. That being said, it's always unfortunate to lose cheap rentals, but as the saying goes, you can't build old apartment buildings. Although it's obviously preferable to build...

I'm inclined to agree, I figure 17th could handle two lanes of traffic and no on street parking. I mean even with on street parking I end up parking somewhere else anyhow because it's all gone. I don't actually think it would make any difference what so ever to the overall parking supply to get...

I live pretty close to the first one you posted and really love seeing those kinds of development in the area. That one alone will have 26 units when it's all said and done, which is some pretty serious density for a 2 story development. I'm convinced that it's these type of missing middle...

With all the talk of streetcars in Calgary, I decided to dig around and see what the city has actually come up with in terms of potential routes. The first and probably the most likely to be built is the SW line connecting MRU to the Blue line: Although this is far from being a sure thing...

Do the Trinity hills or Greenwich developments count towards the suburban category? They're kind of just filling in the gaps left by leapfrogging suburban development, so not sure if that counts or not, but both effectively border Bowness

In case anyone cares, the Riley communities LAP process is in the early stages of engagement. If you want to provide some input and pitch ideas here's the link: https://engage.calgary.ca/riley/envision

DP: https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2022-02927 No renders yet but the application says it's for "Office, Hotel, Multi-Residential Development, Retail and Consumer Service (1 building)" Looks like this could be a big one

Don't forget about the medical offices slated for the U/D and the Riley park development. Hard to believe there's this much demand

A couple people have posted photos showing the population density of city blocks in Calgary in the past, is there a website that I can access that shows a population density map from the 2021 census?

That article from the city said there's two more applications nearing completion and others in the pipeline. With all these, those in the works and those already completed that'll work out to probably close to 10 office to residential conversions since the crash. It's nothing crazy, but that's...
