Orange is the New Black...In the Garden

Something Old, Something New
As Calgary grows as a city, so does the need for new infrastructure, which can sometimes leave heritage buildings by the wayside.
One example is the community of Hillhurst-Sunnyside where an application has been made to rezone 13 properties in the 1100 block of Memorial Drive NW. Developing company Dobbin Group wants to use the space to construct a 70-unit project comprised of Chicago-style brownstones.
