I think I saw signage for one on 33 Ave SW recently as well.

I thought we had already had H-GO type developments or am I missing something?
We've seen lots of small rowhome developments with two strips of rowhomes separated by a garage access area like this one (6 units) for example, but I don't think we've seen any that have like 10 units on a parcel that size. the H-GO is similar to what we've seen but boosts the density even higher.
I like the idea of the H-GO zoning. Not just because it adds extra density, but the basement units for example could be used as a way of getting younger people into an affordable, modern living space in an inner city neighborhood. The larger upper units could also be decently affordable for people with kids who want a larger space but also to live in the inner city.

Would that one on Parkdale Boulevard with the red brick count? I’m pretty sure that’s 10 units, maybe more.
It probably has the 10 units, but probably on a larger parcel size. Which location on Parkdale?

Oh that’s right, it is like a block long. And I have no idea what spot. It’s the really nice rowhouse development on Parkdale Blvd across from the Bow.

Makes me think of Mission Crossing. 5th St & 21 SW.

Spotted this next door to the Kingsland Assisted Living building site. Decent density for one lot!

Nice multiplex! Am I right in assuming it is small enough to avoid the cost of an elevator?

4 units+4 basement suites in the main building and 1 garage suite in the other building. It appears to only have 4 parking spaces though, so the occupants of the basement and garage suites are gonna be SOL.

Less than 30 minutes to either MRU or downtown by high frequency transit.
I wonder when it was designated m-c1.

All of them were done through direct control zoning prior to the bylaw changes in the fall, and those were usually 5 units and 5 suites as well. The new H-GO's are almost always 5 units and 5 suites per 50x120 parcel. It could've been 6 units and 6 suites if council didn't bump up the parking.

So 4 townhouse style units, with 4 basement suites, and then 2 over the 4-car garage?

As much as I like seeing something like a larger 50 unit building, 6 of these smaller ones accomplishes the same thing.

Found this interesting example online. It is on 17th Ave SW, at the NE corner of the intersection with 24A Street. So, right along the Main Street, where we just put in a significant streetscape upgrade. It is live-work units, so hopefully some active uses on the main floor. The DP has been approved, based on the IG post it sounds like construction is starting soon:
