New 24-Unit Apartment Building at 332 Beaver Street, Banff
Official title: Town of Banff 24DP92 Demolition of Existing and Construction of New Housing 332 Beaver Street Project
A developer wants to tear down a duplex in Banff and build a 24-unit apartment building in its place. The project at 332 Beaver Street would include excavation, new construction, utility hookups, and landscaping. Construction is set to start June 15, 2025.
Why This Matters
Live in Banff or nearby? This project could mean more housing options in a town where rentals are notoriously scarce. Neighbours may see construction activity for months. It's also a test case for how Banff balances housing needs with its national park setting.
What Could Change
If approved, a duplex gets replaced with 24 apartments—a significant density increase for this Banff lot. Parks Canada would set conditions for construction within the national park townsite.
Key Issues
- Should this duplex be demolished to make way for a 24-unit apartment building?
- What conditions should apply to construction within Banff National Park?
