Update on this one, the Dobbin Consulting group has some preliminary information up on this including massing and shadow studies for the proposal.

From a positive side, the shadowing doesn't appear to be as bad as I thought it would be.

Mid-rise buildings framing a park give off Melbourne vibes, and that is good!

Luxuria isn't a new builder. They build total garbage dog shit single family houses that appear "nice" however have the worst build quality for any single family in Calgary.

From Attainable Homes Calgary:
"Hi friends! Canada’s industry minister said PM Mark Carney has given her 60 days to cut red tape in her department and speed up the processes that drive the government’s marquee innovation programs.
“We are a war cabinet, and we need to have a wartime philosophy, culture in making sure that we can do things quickly and deliver results in a speedy manner,” Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said in an interview with The Logic on Friday, May 23rd.
Amazing! Let’s see this applied to factory-built affordable housing.
Attainable Homes Calgary is excited to unveil our next project- 200 factory-built homes- located in Hillhurst Sunnyside in Calgary. The Development Permit application will be submitted soon.
If we truly have a wartime philosophy to attack the multitudes of challenges we face in this country, including housing, we could have these 200 homes (one, two and two + den bedroom units) occupied by hard-working Calgarians- in 2026!
It so happens that Minister Joly’s deadline to cut red tape is exactly the length of time a permitted use housing application should have approval to develop granted (a happy accident).
Here is what 2026 project delivery looks like in the context of the Affordable Housing Formula:
1- LAND. This is zero cost City of Calgary land. This land cost savings is directly passed on to tenants.
2- MONEY. We are pursuing access to the $36 Billion pledged for factory built affordable housing. AHC operates in both sectors described in the Liberal election platform –we are an "affordable home builder" ($10 Billion) and an "innovative Canadian pre-fabricated home builder" ($26 Billion).
3- CERTAINTY
a. Certainty of PRODUCTION is in the form of mass production of the housing unit, just like any other consumer good. Industrialized repetition leads to efficiency, exemplary quality control, & reduced costs via ongoing factory construction.
b. Certainty of PERMITS comes through following provincial law & issuing development permits once applications are proven complete & conforming to zoning rules. See past posts about how development processes that follow the timelines outlined in the Alberta Municipal Government Act result in automatic yes approvals.
Once the DP is issued within 60 days from application, we can get on the ATCO Structures production line, in the fall of THIS YEAR.
I am daring to let myself believe Canada is on the cusp of shedding the generations of built-up layers of excessive bureaucracy that have stalled our innate “get it done” spirit. We are a country of doers and it is time to do more and talk less.
I will share with you live updates as we progress through the approval process, reporting back that our fully compliant permitted use development permit application has been approved within 60 days of application.
Please stay tuned!"

I like the look of the building and will be great to finally fill in that container lot. Was really hoping there would be some retail attached to pair with Acme across the street but that was always a bit of a pipe dream given it's affordable housing.

Regarding the Triangle site in Sunnyside and commercial on the ground, Jaydan Tait has always said he is the business of providing housing for people, not businesses. So I guess that answers that question for all.
I'm happy with the Sunnyside proposal. I think they could have gone with something a bit higher, maybe 8 or 9 floors, but I'm content. The Inglewood one will depend on the material. If the material is brick, it' looks great, my worry is it'll be some sort of hardie board paneling or something.
Retail would be nice as it would help create a nice corridor down 2nd, even a corner CRU would be good, but I get where they're coming from. Their focus is on getting people housed.

Yup, I went on the Jane's Walk in Sunnyside about affordable housing and Jaydan was there to speak to the group at Triangle. He touched on that, as well as the height being just right at 6 storeys to quickly and affordably get housing built. He sure seems really passionate about scaling up Attainable Homes and delivering more units with this ATCO setup.

6 storeys is a nice step down from the higher projects on 9A St to Palfreyville on 9 st.
None of the new projects on 9A St (Annex, Hive, Kit, Minto) have retail so it's hard to expect retail even further from the main commercial strip. And the city hung so many expectations on this property over the years that it stayed a weedy field.
At least this one has windows on both street-facing sides (unlike AHC's other modular project). Hopefully windows on the LRT side too.

What is happening with the lot across Cold Garden?
Close to the Crown Surplus. The poster for the mid rise is still on the fence but no action ever
