Your new building just broke ground.
Alright, folks, Cassidy Redcloud here, and we're looking at some fresh data coming off the Civic Intelligence Monitor as of 12:05 PM, May 1st, 2026. For real though, there's a good hum of activity happening in the development sector, and that's something we always keep an eye on in this city.
The monitor shows 24 commercial and new construction permits have been issued in Calgary this week. Now, that's not a gusher, but it’s a steady flow, indicating some confidence in our city's growth. This kind of activity points to future jobs and new spaces, which is always good news, especially when you think about how quickly things can change here.
Let's dig a bit deeper into what our Planning Commission has been up to. Back on March 12th, the Calgary Planning Commission gave the green light to several reports, specifically CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. Commissioners Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voted 'Yes' on these motions, meaning they carried. These aren't just paper pushes, folks; these votes are the foundational work for what gets built and where. We'll be watching to see where these permits break ground and what new structures start to reshape our skyline. This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway.
