Your building boom is still going, Calgary
Alright, Calgary, let's talk about what's actually getting built in our city right now, 'cause it's more than you might think when you're just driving down Crowchild. My real-time monitor, it shows 19 new commercial and new construction permits got issued this week alone. That’s a steady stream, for real though. We're talking about projects that are gonna change the landscape, not just a couple of renos in Crescent Heights.
### Where the city is growing
The Calgary Planning Commission has been busy, approving several reports back on March 12th. Folks like Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voted 'Yes' to motions like Report CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143, which basically means they're giving the green light for more development. These aren't just paper pushes; these votes mean shovels in the ground.
It's clear that even with all the talk about the economy, the city is still pushing for growth, particularly on the commercial side. This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway. Keep an eye on where these permits start breaking ground, because that's where the next wave of change is coming from.
