I shared my concerns a while back. Forget glass, the fact there's no retail activation or housing units on top of the station side for a city-planned project just goes to show how pathetic our TOD's are in Calgary. Not even CMLC can figure it out.

Forgot this one was a go. Very slow pace for a 6 storey development.

I think we may just reverse back up. A lot of people I talk to in BC want to move out and buy property in Calgary. On top of that, jobs are coming back. For new English-speaking immigrants, Vancouver and Toronto are way too expensive, so the next best choice they have left is Calgary. Ottawa and...

So technically, there's still a possibility of a billionaire stepping in and building an arena with the City and then cucking CSEC into signing a lease on his/her terms? Sounds too good to be true. Let's hope it happens.

If arenas require subsidies, then fine. I’m okay with that, but then we also shouldn’t be held hostage during negotiations or presented with such vulgar looking designs.

Jeez, how many times can a single DP/BP be appealed?

It's called living in a 1 million + high growth city. I don't get it, why not just move to the suburbs or Airdrie?

Wow, everything screams NIMBYism. If this doesn't get approved, I'll be pretty mad. It's a beautiful simple building.

See with your “retail” point what we’re really then assuming is that the city and developers have accepted that 11th ave will forever be dominated by cars and the retail market will forever be oversaturated. Then we’re still stuck on our old ways of building a city not for the future but rather...

I don't know if a project like this will really do much for vibrancy, given the context. Sure you're adding more people to the area but it would've been the same result had they built another 6 stories on Park Point 1. When we talk about revitalizing or enhancing our Core or inner city, just...

Disappointing for sure. Ya, another highrise would have been great but what I'm more disappointed about is the fact there's no ground-level retail along 11th ave. I also can't stand the suburban-style landscaping with the planters included. For the sake of good urbanism, just plant some large...

Thanks for breaking the bad news. ☹️

All the best entertainment districts in the world don't have an arena around them. We'll be fine without this arena. We just need a bolder plan. Maybe something like Shibuya district. It's not all doom and gloom. Look at the bright side, maybe East Village will finally build out its residential...

Never heard of a slab schedule affected due to cladding or window delay. Look at West Village Towers.

Agreed, but it could've also resulted in stronger NIMBYism today. Right now the area is set up for prime high-density development, just like East Village. I'm not sure that would've been possible if the area was still similar to something like Sunnyside. It just sucks we have to live through a...

The black really doesn't suit this one, especially with the large blank wall space between the windows and balconies on the east side. White would've been a better color of choice. I still think a big vertical LED sign or an electronic billboard would've fit in nicely in between that space...

If done right, 13th street has the potential to become a small Mainstreet. Thankfully Cidex is putting in retail on that side.

I hope that’s not what we get. The podium looks like a Cidex bunker.

The Safeway lot should be redeveloped into a higher-density use. Preferably retail frontage facing the train station side as well and residential spaces on top. Sunnyside has lots of redevelopment going on in the area but the lack of redevelopment around the station still prevents it from...
