Here is a pic of a map of where it will be located. Interesting it’s not far from the Genesis Centre. I’d guess less than 2 km. Lots of current and future population to support both. Love the cricket pitches. Calgary needs more dedicated ones.

Doesn't sound like anything too surprising or controversial in the report, nor is the fact that it was on the agenda as it was commissioned by the last council, but of course that doesn't stop the repealers from whining about it.

I haven't read it in detail or watched the presentation, but this looks like a pretty handy 101 on how infrastructure planning works

And if there was any doubt where RCG was making a difference:

(weird that this is such a priority for the councillors in wards 10, 12, 13, and 14). I think this 828 includes plenty of SFHs, but not certain on that.

While this proposal is not a dramatically large development, for many it might be an important one to watch for the cultural impact. The land use change for the building the Ship and Anchor is in goes to CPC this week:

LOC2025-0080
  • 532 17 AV SW
  • 534 17 AV SW (The Ship and Anchor)

Trying to read the tea-leaves here for what the expected impact will be to Calgary's most famous pub. Seems like a fairly substantial project, but curious attempt to retain the existing office building where the Ship is. Perhaps that's a sign they want to keep it operating in the same location? Not sure how that would work in practice, but otherwise I don't really get why you'd preserve the existing building that's fairly obsolete.

Anyone have any theories or behind-the-scenes on this one?

I hope this is one of those cases where the developer knows the real value in their property and does whatever needs to be done to keep the gold mine that is the Ship operating.

Appears to be essentially an office conversion adding several floors with an additional new building attatched to it. You can tell it shares a lot of design cues with Manu Chugh's other project where the Denny's is
