Your property values are wild right now.
Alright, folks, Cassidy Redcloud here, coming at you live from the MiTL Sports Desk, Calgary bureau. Hope you're all caffeinated and ready, because City Hall's been busy, and some of these numbers are gonna make you do a double-take.
For real though, let's talk about property values, because the latest assessments are out, and some spots are just gushing. We're talking Queens Park Village, where five properties are clocking an average assessed value of over 16 million dollars. Sixteen *million*. That's not a typo. And right behind them, Red Carpet/Mountview Mobile Park – another five properties averaging nearly $14.5 million. Think about that for a second. We always joke about Calgary being an oil town, but sometimes these property assessments feel like a new kind of boom all its own.
### Planning Commission Paves the Way
Now, let's cap off that conversation about property and look at what the Calgary Planning Commission was up to on March 12th. They were busy, folks, and it looks like they’re greasing the wheels for some new developments. Multiple motions were carried, with members like Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voting 'Yes' on reports CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. These reports are all about recommending Council give three readings to upcoming projects, which means things are moving through the pipeline.
What does this mean for you? Well, these votes are foundational. They’re the groundwork for future development across the city. We’re talking about zoning changes, new subdivisions, maybe even some mixed-use projects popping up. Keep an eye on the upcoming Council meetings to see if these recommendations get the final nod. This is Calgary – we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway.
