For your sake I hope you live in Kelvin Grove. I never realized how nice it was. 3 new mansions going in there, all with the plans available on dmap.
And a 10+10 going in to 2 lots on a corner by Elbow Dr, across from the skatepark at Wisewood. (but this is all zone H-GO anyways)
A possible 6-plex on 5 St SW...but the permit has been pending now for 17 months "and will be released to the applicant when conditions of approval have been met." Which is evidence the DP process isn't a rubber stamp.
a 4-plex with garage parking for 4 at a corner lot 3 blocks south of that.
An addition (no additional unit) to a
pretty modest SFH on a big corner lot .
Seems strange the owner isn't being forced to knock it down and build an 8-plex there.
a 4+4 on an oversize corner lot at 5 St & 78th.
And two more similar projects on corner lots nearby...both pending conditions.
And a handful or more secondary suites, new SFH (even more than I expected), additions without new units, and denser projects in H-GO zones along Elbow and Heritage.
So let's hop over to Fairview. About 10 new backyard or secondary suites and a new SFH.
Same trend for Acadia. But also two duplexes (one with basement suites).
And same for Willow Park/Maple Ridge. A bunch of new SFHs and two duplexes.
So in total I think that's one 8-plex approved (on a massive corner lot), and three more 6/8-plexes possibly to come (all of which look like reasonable locations), but they have so far failed to get approval. That's for everything zoned RCG between Glenmore/Deerfoot/Anderson/14th. And a lot more new SFHs and fewer duplexes than I would have expected.
So I'll stand by what I said that Ward 11 is not significantly affected by the socalled '8-plex problem'. But about a hundred properties are taking advantage of backyard suites (probably more flippers adding additional value than existing homeowners, but no way to know for sure, even with computers)
