You won't believe how many permits Calgary just issued
Alright, morning, Calgary. Cassidy Redcloud here, and we're seeing some interesting movement from City Hall, almost like the Bow River when it starts really churning in the spring. For real though, our Civic Intelligence Monitor, live as of 11:33 AM Mountain Time on March 28th, 2026, shows a pretty healthy pulse on the development front.
The City of Calgary issued 18 new commercial and construction permits this week. Now, 18 might not sound like a stampede, but it's a consistent beat, showing some folks are still willing to drill down and invest in our city's future. It's not the boom times of 2014, for sure, but it’s definitely not a dry well either. This kind of activity usually signals a bit of optimism bubbling up, which is always good to see in our economic climate.
We've also got some fresh property assessment highlights from the City's records. Did you know Canada Olympic Park has three properties with an average assessed value of $56,093,333? That's some serious acreage right there. Nose Hill Park follows with seven properties, averaging $40,863,286. These are the kinds of numbers that remind you how much valuable land the city manages, even for public good.
Keep an eye on where these new permits are landing. Will it be more infill in communities like Bridgeland, or bigger projects out on the edges? We’ll be watching to see if this steady trickle turns into a full-on flow.
