A Multi-Step Path to Occupancy

The City of Calgary goes through a detailed, multi-departmental review of each planning and development application submitted. Land Use Redesignation applications of this scale often take 12+ months from submission until approval, with Subdivision/Infrastructure improvements followed by Development Permit approvals coming later, which are then followed by Building Permit approvals. Complex applications, or those with unique circumstances, may not fit the timelines indicated above and may require customized timelines.

Brewery-Rail Lands is in its earliest stage within this Approvals Continuum, with Land Use Redesignations and an Outline Plan for the MATCO Application Site submitted in early 2022. These approvals for the MATCO Application Site are anticipated in late-2026, with occupancy and phased build-out of the entire Comprehensive Planning Area occurring over the next 20 years.

Additional approvals and opportunities for public input will be sought through these next stages of the Approvals Continuum as the redevelopment of the lands advances.
