The City assesses this land holding as 1 accounts on one parcel of 82,776 m², carrying 11 separate LiDAR-mapped structures. Figures on this page that sum or take a maximum across the parcel therefore describe the whole holding, not one building, and it is excluded from the height rankings for that reason.
The City assesses this parcel under roll code X034, for which it publishes no description, so the office-code definition alone would omit it. It is included because The City’s own building permits record office use on the parcel: 35 permits in the City’s Office classes between 1999 and 2023. The building may hold other uses as well. Every building included this way.

An inspection result is a record of one visit, not a verdict on the building. 16 of these 67 results are recorded as Not Acceptable. In the City's process a Not Acceptable result is an ordinary step: the inspector lists what must change and the work is re-inspected, which is why the most common outcome across the record is Acceptable Add Inspection. Most results relate to a single tenant improvement rather than the whole building. Inspector notes are The City of Calgary's own text at retrieval, with contact details removed; applicant and contractor names are never read.

No individuals are named. The City issues many personal-service licences to people trading under their own name. Suite numbers are never published, and where a licence reads as an individual rather than an organisation the name is withheld and only the licence category is shown; 1 of the 12 licences on this parcel is withheld on that basis. Names of sources this site does not use are omitted.
