What the record establishes

Each value below opens to show the municipal field it came from, how it was established, and a link to the City’s own record. Nothing here is inferred without saying so.

Municipal files

Every official file kept intact, with the municipality’s own status wording and the evidence that attached it to this project.

Some filings are outside the browsable slice

This project links 4 municipal files in the full corpus; 1 of them are browsable here. The remainder are older or lower-scoring filings — typically unit-level building permits — held in the full dataset rather than the compiled slice. The coverage atlas explains the boundary.

Project timeline

Official recordEvery entry is a date the municipality published. Nothing is interpolated, and a file with no published date is listed as such rather than placed.
  1. BP2018-03042 filed
    building permit application received by the municipality.
  2. BP2018-03042 issued
    Building permit issued. Work may lawfully begin; this is not evidence that it has.

How these records were linked

Our analysisThe City does not publish a project. This grouping is this platform's assertion, and here is exactly what it rests on.

A municipality files permits, not projects. Calgary publishes a cross-reference field that would state the link directly — concurrent_loc — but it is populated on 121 of 192,471 development permits and appears abandoned after 2021. So the join is made from what the records do share: a normalized address, and coordinates within a tolerance. Every join below shows the rule that made it and how strongly.

Evidence for each municipal file joined to this project
FileJoined byEvidenceClassConfidence

Confidence is the strongest single signal, not a sum of weak ones. Four weak matches do not add up to a strong one: a join also requires at least one signal at 0.6 or above, because combining four 0.3 signals under noisy-OR reaches 0.76 and would have merged unrelated filings. If a join here is wrong, tell us — splitting a project is a review action, not an automatic one.

Parties

The applicant is the party that filed. In Calgary that is usually the architect, surveyor or a permit agent — not the owner and not the developer, neither of which any source field states.
