    Calgary | Crosstown | 88m | 30s | Anthem

    Won't Anthem compete its Westmount project before started this? I suspect the company will struggle due to its Vancouver market exposure

    I agree that reduced demand is positive. I also share the skepticism of ON and BC removing barriers to supply. Canada is a vampiric gerontocracy with considerable inertia to reforming the housing market, pensions and healthcare it will be interesting to see what happens. In a functional housing...

    Calgary | 61st Ave Residential | 64m | 19s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Two at one pont: -Woodward's Food Floor from the mall's opening in the early 60s. It was sold to Safeway in the mid 80s and closed in the early 90s.
