Does anyone know what they are doing on the top of the City Centre Parkade? It has been very noisy in my office today.

The cladding is promising and I love the depth created on the upper floors. It loses points for each step.

Couldn't get closer than this so not the best picture, but still something:

And a few shots of East Village from the distance:

All photos were taken two days ago.

Is the first phase of the Eau Claire project still going to be office or have they switched it back to residential?

Building demolished at NW corner of 17 Avenue SW and 5 Street. This is for that low-rise project.

416 units. Sounds decent, hopefully the design is a nice one.

In an unrelated note, I was bored and started trying to recall older proposals ... any idea if this project is still happening?
Seems to have received lots of negative feedback, as it's VERY close and potentially obstructive to the Calgary Tower.

Yes it's gone and this one was a super quick demolition I could almost swear that a couple of days ago the building was was still there and intact.

Pictures are not the best, may go for a walk in that area today again and take some better pictures.

Regardless, this is how it looks right now:

Looks like a restaurant is finally going into the old Hillhurst Fire Hall in Poppy Plaza! There's was a permit (Restaurant: Food Service Only - Medium and Changes to Site Plan: Outdoor Cafe) issued in August and the building along with some area around is fenced off.

We tore a house down in 2011, took 11 minutes for the entire structure to be reduced to a pile of rubble. Pretty amazing really.
