Uh wait!? That says mixed use. Calgary? So confused!😲

It looks like Christo was in town, but impossible since he passed away in 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Arc_de_Triomphe,_Wrapped

I love the contrasting yellow to the dark grey brick. Gives the building some punch.

It will be interesting to see where they place dark and light exterior materials. You can get a hint of placement by the location of black versus the white window frames.

I am sure that the Landstar development on that map is off the table as they are in the process of retrofitting the old trail building in to multiple retail bays.I should have taken a photo as I was down there today.

This is the project that had the runaway truck. Built on a very steep gradient.

With all the supply chain issues in the building industry this year, most if not all costs have soared dramatically. The company I work for saw an overall increase of 54% in material costs this past year which we do pass along to the customer. With the increase being so dramatic and while still...

Are we getting some boring name like Oliver II or something completely different with the second tower?

Seems a little too far South to have anything to do with the Green Line. But I have been known to be wrong.

Not sure if this is related to Brad Lamb's "Orchard" site, but they have been doing soil sampling there all week (on 5th street as well as 11th Ave). If it is related, maybe Brad feels the market is more advantageous now??

I wonder if either property owners were upset with the height of these three storeys. Here is what it looked like this past summer... https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0042613,-114.0759784,3a,75y,185.61h,74.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQwpAL0NJ-GG1-2RyXCd2oA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Curios why they rebuilt two table forms. You can see them on 1875's photo. They left them in place on the second floor. Maybe a different configuration past the second floor???

The Jade If only they could have added one more colour and one or two more materials. :rolleyes:

Who is the missing partner in KPMB Founding partners, B. Kuwabara, M. McKenna and S. Blumberg. No mention of any partners with a last name starting with a P. Just curious thats all. ????

These buildings were just sold to "Avenue Living" and new leases were given to the residences.

I was in this tower back in the eighties when it was still relatively new. I had a friend from elementary school (grade 4) living there with his parents. The thing I remember most was the floor to ceiling glass in the living room area, and the views. Coming from life in a bungalow, to hanging...

Not an error but a question on the one in Aspen (15 Aspen Summit Drive SW). That one has been up for a very long time, and was wondering if this project is complete and the crane long gone?
