Agreed. That’s very cool.

Nope it doesn’t. This is one of those buildings who’s main function is inner city infill

Land use applications usually aren't very sexy, but this one is., especially considering the parcel next to it also has the same kind of land use application. My only gripe is that they didn't go for a higher height limit, but I can live with 26 floors as a max. Also with the size of the lots as...

Personally I'd rather see the second phase be low rise building (6 storeys) with retail. It would be nice to have a restaurant with patio in one of the yellow areas. We have an awesome river pathway system, but something that would make it better is a few more retail spots.

Maybe I’m getting ahead of things, but maybe the thread name can be changed to simply Downtown Calgary discussion thread? Back when piles of empty office base was coming online there was a potential dilemma, but there is a partial solution in place and it’s been working. There will be more...

If they’re doing modular, even faster.

Found money! :) I wasn't expecting a crane for this one.

I've done a lot of traveling over the years. In Canada all the provinces except Newfoundland, and in the US almost all the states, with exception of (Vermont, NH, Maine, Mass, RI, Delaware, Alaska, Arkansas) Mexico Belize Panama Costa Rica Puerto Rico Argentina Chile England France Belgium...

It's as if they have no regard for our feelings! 🥺

Merry Christmas buddy.

This is awesome to see another highrise ready to go up. That part of the Beltline is going to be one hell of a busy place.

While we are on the topic of Bridgeland construction, a large corner lot has been cleared, for what I presume is a new build. The two houses in this pic are now gone and there's construction fencing and equipment.

It's hard to predict something so far off, but I feel those numbers are realistic. If you had asked me 20 years ago, I would have predicted Calgary and Edmonton to be about the same population, or Edmonton having a higher population due to a predicted decline in the oil and gas industry. Things...
