Update – Land Use Application approved Oct. 3, 2023

VERA Group is thrilled to announce that the Land Use Redesignation application (LOC2022-0209) was approved by Calgary City Council on October 3, 2023. Although the engagement period for this application has ended, we remain available to address any inquiries you may have. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated project team using the provided contact channels. We sincerely appreciate the thoughtful feedback received from all those who participated in our engagement process.

The approved Land Use Redesignation application is for the properties at 2604-2620 37 Street SW and 2628-2640 37 Street SW. The Land Use Redesignation enables the vision of six-storey, mixed-use buildings to be developed in two phases, both featuring commercial-retail and/or live-work units at street level, and multi-residential units above.

To achieve this development vision, a modifier change was proposed to permit a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 4.0 (increased from 3.0 FAR), and maximum building height of 26.0 metres (increased from 16.0 metres). A change from the Mixed Use - General (MU-1) District to the Mixed Use - Active Frontage (MU-2) District was also included in response to feedback received – this change will not alter the built form proposed, and instead will require active commercial uses at grade facing the 37 Street SW Main Street.

The sites’ strategic location will allow future residents the option to live in an amenity-rich neighbourhood with excellent access to day-to-day conveniences and frequent transit service, while activating the newly improved streetscape with commercial-retail services.
