Middle housing continues to seize attention nationwide, particularly in North America, as cities grapple with an unprecedented demand for housing. We spent the day with mddl to learn about the proposed city-wide bylaw changes and the possibilities middle developments can bring. David discussed the matter from a planning perspective alongside Dr. Teresa Goldstein and Katherine Davies. #yyc #yycliving #architecture #urbanplanning #planning #urbandesign #design

At Hurd, we love adaptive reuse projects! In fact we know a thing or two about these having completed a few in our last 10 years. Three things we’ve learned along the way: 1) It’s not for every building or project. Challenges and unforeseens will present, so be prepared. It is not new construction. 2) It’s faster than new construction. It’s also way more sustainable. This means as an owner you can get to market faster. Put that in the proforma. 3) Put your team together early. None of us know “what it’s going to actually cost” until we move through means and methods, complete due diligence, and determine the real critical path. That’s why we recommend to have your GC, A-E and owner meet early and often day 1! Our team is excited to see some of these types of projects happening in our own backyard. Adaptive reuse is Part of the solution in creating a vibrant and transformative city! Consider Hurd for your next adaptive reuse project!
