Your City Hall just approved new development
Alright, folks, Cassidy Redcloud here, your Morning Wire correspondent from Calgary, where the chinook winds are playing their usual mind games. For real though, let's talk about what's happening at City Hall, because it directly impacts where we live and build.
The big news from the Calgary Planning Commission is they've been busy giving the green light to new development. On March 12, 2026, multiple motions were carried to recommend that Council give three readings to planning reports CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. Commissioners like Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voted "Yes." This means more projects are moving through the pipeline, which, depending on where you stand on growth, is either a boom or a bust for our city's landscape.
This week alone, our real-time monitor shows that Calgary has issued two commercial/new construction permits. So, while the specific locations aren't detailed in the immediate data, it's clear the city is steadily pushing forward on new builds. It's a consistent hum of activity, and it means more changes are coming to neighbourhoods across Calgary. We'll be keeping an eye on where these new developments land and what they mean for our communities.
This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway.
