These are probably more expensive as well, but I agree these are nicer than the usual townhouses that are getting built. The row homes I’m seeing built are all the same. It seems like one architect is doing all of them lol.

With any luck the next iteration will be residential only and something get built relatively soon. A location that you could easily put some 8 to 12 story buildings on.

Time to move on and create our own specific Eau Claire dream. Divide up the area into chunks, sell to multiple developers and let it evolve.

I see no reason why we couldn’t close 17th during the summer. I say do it!

Under the new water bylaw everyone was supposed to have been switched to meters by 2020. Last I heard, there were only a few hundred customers left who didn’t have a meter, out of over half a million customers and that was a couple of years ago. For the people who don’t have a meter, the city...

Farkas might try and run again, but I doubt he has much of a chance, he was given the stiff boot last time around.

Are there any plans to develop the lot across from this on the south side of University Ave?

I love the wood, my only concern is the longevity of it. Hopefully it won’t look weathered and need to be replaced in 15 years.

Without Banff the gap between the two airports wouldn’t as stark as it is today, but Calgary would still be the busier airport. How much busier is the question. Without Banff and without Westjet ever happening my guess is there would be about 25-30% difference due to Cakgary being the business...

That last pic 😎😎😎 I’d love to see the same pic, but from further back with more buildings in the shot.

I was thinking the same thing.

I see a like from user CtrlAltDel. Would this be the same CtrlAltDel from SSP?

It’s wild to see Edmonton have by far their biggest growth year ever and still be left in the dust by Calgary. A difference of 24k is likely the biggest disparity ever. And if Foothills part of the CMA it was be more like 26k difference.

😁 not to toot my horn too loudly, but I was pretty close for two of the cities. Let’s see how the other cities shake out.

This one looks like it has a built in clinic and surgical centre.

My guess is around 70k also. Toronto. 110k Vancouver 90k Calgary. 70k Montreal 70k Edmonton 50k Ottawa 40k Kitchener 30k Winnipeg 20k

This is the biggest issue IMO. To be fair, here in Calgary with such a high ratio of homeowners in past years often times renters were the less desirables in the neighborhood and gave the good renters a bad name. Before anyone jumps on me, I’m not saying that renters are bad of course, only that...

Seriously? You actually think shaming is a route we should take in society?? That’s right shame people for driving cars because they have 3 kids live out in the suburbs because that’s the place that works best for their situation. I suppose you think we ought to shame all those people who are...

If I recall correctly, there were plans to develop the East End of North Hill but there is some sort of issue with the soil needing to be remediated.

Are there any renderings with a view from the east side? I’d like to see if the laneway through University City carries through into this development.
