I love the Ship, have been going there almost 30 years, love punk rock bingo, love the patio...

But seeing a live show there has always kind of sucked unless it's, like, a weekend afternoon chill thing with a small crowd. So, I don't personally feel like it's a mainstay of the live music scene here.

Edit: To be clear, I want them to be able to stay open and make some noise.

This outline plan application proposes an outline for the future subdivision and development of 4.97 hectares of land in the community of Lincoln Park.

Curious where they plan to relocate their manufacturing facility... Would be good to have this underutilized part of the city filled in.

Maybe they'll develop it themselves with their modular stuff...seems like a good location for small+simple units:

Cadillac Fairview is on a roll!

I wonder if one of these sites could be the coveted 'Allies and Morrison' proposal we've been hearing so much about... Maybe, even, a redevelopment of the mall proper...

I usually don't get too excited about LOCs but this is exciting. All the talk about Chinook LRT being surrounded by high-rises, just might happen. Throw in a couple of 35-50 storey towers, and I won't ask for another Christmas gift ever.

Southview has been scaled back or divided into more phases, however you want the phrase it.

It’s great to see new land use applications for Currie and the Chinook, especially Chinook. It appears high density development is about to take off.

I don't know anything of her performance as president /ceo but from my small dealings with her she seemed passionate over low income housing. Always sad when someone looses their gig.

So we're most likely looking at more towers going up around Chinook, and judging by the size of those lots, you could put more than one tower on each lot.

Yes, quite possible.

Description
The application proposes to change the land-use designation of this property from 'DC Bylaw 219D2016' to 'MU-1 f8.0h110' to allow for:

• a mixed-use development comprising of commercial and residential dwelling units in street-oriented buildings throughout the site;
• a maximum building height of 110 metres, about 26 storeys (an increase from the current maximum of 90 metres); and
• a maximum building floor area of approximately 96,800 sq.m. to occupy a parcel size of 1.21 hectares.

They use the word buildings, plural so maybe.

A smaller block to the north has 4 towers on it. The Chinook parcels are larger than this one. I'd expect 4-6 towers going up on each one.

 

[DiscoStu]

Is that the single ugliest block in Calgary? If not, surely a contender.

It is for sure, though I'll give it some props for being the first block to add some pretty high density to the Chinook area. They loosened the jar lol.
