DP2025-00256 - Dashmesh Cultural Centre Social Housing, in Martindale. 5 storeys, 19.2 m, 28 units:

Martindale is a surprisingly busy area. On the surface it looks something like Beddington, but the sidewalks are busier and street parking is at a premium. It makes me think that people are living 4-10 adults to a house.

That is probably the case, very different demographics between the two.

What a dumb looking building. Do better...

Triovest (The developer behind Stephen Avenue Quarter) has applied for a land use on the site next to Keynote, which is going to CPC on Thursday. They are asking for 8.0 FAR; 12.0 FAR with bonusing.

On a site like that, 12.0 FAR would put it quite tall. For reference, Stampede Station is applying for 19.5 FAR and has two towers.

Did this land use pass ?

Active demo on the abandoned building west of Keynote.

I thought it might be related to the land use below but it’s on the SE corner of the block (not west half).

I hope Bradley Minifie was able to find work.

starting to feel like that area may no longer be a wasteland, just a couple blocks to build out.

I hope someone somewhere is working on a proposal for this site. To clarify, I mean to maintain the building and reimagine it. If it were to be demolished I might chain myself to its marble columns.

There's a thread for that one.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Yeah the Oxford development is just the east half of the block though.

It would be a travesty to let this building deteriorate! CalgaryTiger, I would be right there with you in defiance of any demolition order!

As the article mentions, who is responsible for paying for the general maintenance in the interim period prior to decisions about future use?

 

[konradiical]

Cant they just claim is as a heritage site and the city maintain it?

Yeah, the city can buy it if they want to.
