Your city just moved on some big developments

Alright, so let's cut to the chase, for real though. Your Calgary Planning Commission has been busy, real busy. On March 12, 2026, they pushed through a couple of big reports – CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. These motions, according to the recent council votes, all passed unanimously. We're talking about folks like Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all giving a 'yes' to recommend Council give three readings to these reports. It’s a full go.

What this means for us on the ground is more commercial and new construction. Our Civic Intelligence Monitor, tracking real-time data as of April 14, 2026, at 12:06 UTC, shows 22 commercial and new construction permits have been issued in Calgary this week alone. That’s a steady stream of new builds, folks. This is Calgary – we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway.

### Money in the Ground

And speaking of big money, the property assessment highlights are pretty wild. We're talking massive values on some of our landmark spots. Canada Olympic Park, for instance, has three properties with an average assessed value of $56,093,333. Nose Hill Park isn't far behind with seven properties averaging $40,863,286. Even Symons Valley Ranch, with just one property, clocks in at $20,650,000. These aren't just numbers; they show where the city's value is literally planted. Keep an eye on how these development permits start shaping our skyline and our neighbourhoods.
