    Calgary | Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    So the Flames cancelled the old agreement because Gondek wanted to add solar panels, but the new arena has solar panels on the roof? Also, was excited at the first hint of a glowing logo on the roof in the animation as I thought it would be the Flames logo, but nope. A fucking bank logo! How...

    Calgary | Aomega on 15th | 13.7m | 5s | FarMor Architecture

    I watched this office building go up in a similar manner...

    Calgary | Inglewood Brewery Lands | 60m | 20s | Matco Group | FAAS Architecture

    Does Matco actually build anything? Or do they just hoard land?

    God help us if they acquire the Bay building DT.

    Calgary | Hampton Inn by Hilton | 56.08m | 17s | Triple One | NORR

    The sign helps soften that street.

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

    I hope this development helps with the problems in that area. Every time I've been to Chinook Centre recently I have encountered some sketchy group or individuals. It's gotten so bad that the family bathrooms in the foodcourt were locked one time. I noticed a large gathering under the stairs of...

    Calgary | Broadway on 17th | 156m | 47s | Vesta | Zeidler

    They look messier in every new rendering. Very busy and cluttered and hard to decipher a visual pattern to the balconies. Podium still looks nice though.

    Calgary | Yellowstone | 67.36m | 20s | Amble Ventures | NORR

    It looks gritty and decrepit and hasn't even finished construction. That EIFS paneling is horrid!

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    Thoughts on what will happen if the UCP uses the minority redistricting report to blatantly gerrymander every riding in Calgary outside the core to include rural voters from 50 kms away? On top of our insane property tax hike! If this city doesn't revolt against Marlaina after that then we're in...

    Me too. One of the best brutalist towers in the city.

    Calgary | Copenhagen | 35m | 10s | Copenhagen | Casola Koppe

    I had no idea that existed underneath!! They butchered the original two buildings. I always just thought this was built some time in the 80's.

    Calgary | Plaza | 109m | 33s | Cantiro | GEC

    Is the yellow cargo truck trolling us?

    From what I recall the interior was a bit of hodgepodge. Not sure how much 'original' architecture is left inside. The exterior and colonnade are absolutely essential though. It shocks me the property isn't heritage protected.

    With this new council I have little faith in it being saved. Hope I'm wrong.

    I actually worked at the Canyon Meadows theatre in Junior High in the mid 90's. Didn't realize the Nutrien building has been there so long, but then I was taking the lrt to highschool in 2000 and do recall seeing it under construction. I remember the trailer park as well. Damn, I must be getting...
