I'm so glad they kept the big trees.

This is so slick. Love it!

Aren't they suggesting to include suites with duplexes? Or do you mean including suites with rowhomes was too much?

Thanks for the info, very interesting! I find it interesting to compare heritage protections in Calgary with those in Ottawa, which seem to be much more robust.

Is one being developed for Mission? What is the implication of a heritage guideline?

I have thought this too. Lots of nice rowhomes out there, but none (or few) seem to be built in Calgary. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I feel that people would have less opposition if someone wanted to build a row of Edwardian style brick townhomes on their block (which I know is not going to...

If this is built and looks like the renders, I love it. Love the brick, the curves, the vertical lines, and the relative simplicity.

So glad to see it getting rebuilt, but a little disappointed that it will look essentially identical on the outside. Hopefully they do something interesting with the interior (which if the sound room is any indication, they will).

Application for land use redesignation at 24 Ave SW in Mission, right beside the river. They're looking for a change to a high-density low-rise building with a maximum height of 26 metres (6 storeys) and a minimum of 14 units. Saw the following Instagram Post, which I thought was a little...

Yes, there were publicly-announced plans for a new courthouse beside/incorporated into the old courthouse. I have some insider knowledge on this, and can confirm that there were designs being proposed around 3 years ago, but one issue was incorporating the new building to the old, while still...

Thank god those two little old dinky buildings are being knocked down in favour of yet another new hotel tower. I was beginning to worry that there would be any proof that Calgary is more than 40 years old left - how embarrassing that would be... On a more positive note, the design of both...

Don't let Truman anywhere near it.

Hooray!

You know, I had this same thought when I first saw this photo, but I actually think it may be a good thing in a weird way. Keeps the patios on the other side of the street sunny.

I think it's great that something is being built here, and I think affordable housing is fantastic, but I do wish it was something a bit nicer and more exciting, with some stores/bars, in such a prominent and well-situated spot.
