Calgary recorded 1,784 in-scope development filings in 2005, 13% more than in 2004. That makes it the 21st busiest of the 48 year years in the record.

Of those, 931 were development permit applications, 712 were building permits and 141 were land use redesignations — applications to change what may lawfully be built on a site.

The building permits filed that year account for 4,179 dwelling units across 138 permits that reported a unit count and $1.93 billion in applicant-declared construction value.

The largest single class of proposal was industrial and logistics, on 347 filings. Asset class is this platform's reading of the City's own category and description fields, not a published field.

As the City's records stand today, 1,439 of that year's filings show a permit issued and 187 are closed — withdrawn, cancelled or expired. Those are current statuses, not the position at the time.

47 decisions from 2005 went to the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.

What this record does not establish

  • These are counts of filings, which are proposals put to the City. They do not measure what was built — no source in this corpus observes construction.
  • Only commercially significant filings are counted. Single homes, secondary suites, home occupations, signs and routine relaxations are excluded, so these totals are much smaller than the raw dataset.
  • Declared construction values are applicant-stated at application: not audited, not adjusted for inflation, and not a measure of money spent.

Sources for every claim

How these numbers were arrived at

Counted over every in-scope filing in the acquired corpus. Each underlying record is a municipal application with its own page and source link; the count is arithmetic over them.

That makes every figure in this brief evidence class C — derived from class A municipal records by a documented method — rather than class A. No single municipal field states a total; the corpus states it by counting, and each record counted has its own page and source link. Browse them from the record.

Claim audit

6 claims · 0 uncited

Every sentence this brief asserts, with what backs it. A claim may rest on an extracted fact, on a municipal field read directly off the record, or on a documented derivation over a stated population — and on nothing else. A brief with an uncited claim is not offered for publication.
