 Sunalta
The community of Sunalta is located just west of the Downtown. Sunalta
was annexed to the City of Calgary in 1907 at the initiation of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. The area was subdivided in two main phases. The subdivision
and construction of the first phase occurred during 1909 to 1912. The area
was laid out in a grid pattern with a predominance of 25'x130' lots. A second
subdivision was approved in 1911. This area, located below the escarpment,
followed the grid pattern of the earlier Sunalta subdivision, but was laid
out in larger lots (50'x130').By 1912, Sunalta had become an established residential
community. At that time the community had the Sunalta Cottage School, Sacred
Heart School, and
the Calgary Tennis Club. During the 1950s redevelopment pressures were responsible
for a change in the zoning of the community and significant redevelopment
to four storey walk-up apartments occurred. The current planning goals for
this community include preserving and rehabilitating the development of higher
density housing in selected areas.
