Land Use Application

1020 2 Avenue NW

Project Overview

On behalf of Attainable Homes Calgary, O2 is proposing to redesignate the parcel located at 1020 2 Avenue NW to enable a 6-storey multi-family residential development on a transit-oriented site in the heart of Sunnyside.

The redesignation will enable:

  • A Direct Control land use district – based on the
    M-H1 (Multi-Residential- High Density Low Rise) District.

  • A maximum building height of 26 metres (6 storeys).

  • A maximum density of 4 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) as outlined under the Hillhurst-Sunnyside Area Redevelopment Plan.

  • Construction of crucial rental housing within walking distance of transit, services and amenities.

  • Advancement of several key objectives in Home is Here: Calgary’s Housing Strategy 2024-2030 approved by City of Calgary council on September 16, 2023.

Development Vision

Attainable Homes Calgary is excited to introduce residents to this property.

Calgary is in a housing crisis. While 3,000 non-market homes are needed every year to keep up with demand, only 300 are constructed. Calgarians need homes NOW.

Attainable Homes Calgary has a mandate to create affordable housing on development-ready land on behalf of The City of Calgary and its citizens.

The Calgary Housing Strategy 2024-2030 action items are incorporated into this land use redesignation application.

This site was identified in 2016 as a development-ready opportunity through the Corporate Affordable Housing Strategy.

Attainable Homes Calgary

Created and owned by The City of Calgary, Attainable Homes Calgary builds non-market attainable housing on development-ready land.

Since 2009, Attainable Homes Calgary has helped over 1,100 Calgarians and their families attain the dream of homeownership.

AHC is now providing attainable rental opportunities at a 70-unit apartment building currently under construction in the Downtown West End and through the proposed development at this site in Sunnyside.
