With BMO as the tenant I expect this will start up construction again, it was probably halted due to the ongoing construction on 33rd

Good thing it’s approved, it’s been u/c for a few months now :)

Are those blue sections stucco or aluminum panels?

The sad part about this building and others in Calgary is the metal trim they are using looks like vinyl. There’s an old saying, “perception is reality”.

I don’t think there’s any question the stampede and the city for the main drivers behind Victoria Parks demise. Although I would say it’s hard to compare to places like Beltline, Sunalta, Lower Mount Royal, Mission or Bridgeland. Especially Bridgeland, lower Mount Royal, mission as those areas...

It’s turned out exactly like the renderings. once Kanas took over the project I was worried it might get VE’d but it’s exactly as the original plan.

So far so good, the materials are looking better than I thought they would.

Downtown and Beltline are booming, but not the same way it is in university district, from an owner-occupant perspective. Most of the units being built in downtown are either purpose built rentals or condos targeted specifically to investors who are going to rent them out. The sites in...

I couldn’t care less if it was a cheap spandrel tower, their reasons for opposition aren’t valid in my opinion.

It’s good, old-fashioned average filler. I’m happy to see these developments go up near the Westbrook station even if it’s not right at the station, the extra density going up around it will eventually spur some major development at the station itself.

26th ave is picking up in a good way. One thing I really like about 26th is it doesn’t tie into Crowchild. All the way from 37th St. to 14th it has great potential, if we could only get the bike lane extended all the way to 14th that be great.

Agreed. If YYC/Westjet can continue to funnel traffic from interior of BC and the prairies that can continue to build the hub. Cities from Kelowna to Winnipeg have been receiving large numbers of immigrants and that could be a good market for more overseas flights.

This about as mundane as density gets, but it's still density. Hopefully it spurs more density in the area.

I used to love supertalls and high-rises. It's what got me into these forums in the first place, but these days I couldn't care less about supertalls, especially the ones in Asia, where they all blend together into oblivion. I'm enjoying watching a couple of the Toronto ones go up The One and...

The cycle track is on both sides for 2nd street.
