    This appears to be a secant shoring system with a concrete raft slab foundation

    Much appreciated. They look great IMO. Fairly standard Vancouver tower feel with a few features. Really hope the cap is illuminated like that. That ave has had a hard time getting activated... Pretty sure the restaurant space at 6th+10th still hasn't been leased.

    Interesting observation. Are these there for increased exterior space (patios)? What else could be in it's place? I suppose just a glass guardrail?

    This tech relationship seems to be a small marketing edge for the developer and a huge data collection edge for Amazon. I want to better understand how the tech improves end user experience, or even the dev operation? Seems vague and leverage of buzz words to gain ...well, buzz

    Without flipping through 21 pages, can someone re-post the latest renderings? Do we know suite count / mix? I assume this is PBR with at grade CRU?

    Looks like it hasn't changed much - I absolutely love this dev source:

    Trying to figure out why this appears to stall out after each trade starts... Earthworks starts - stalled. Concrete starts - stalled. Hopefully they can maintain momentum from here on out. This one is such a gem and such a prefect location. It's going to have a huge impact on CB / Mission...

    Calgary | Courtyard 33 | 21.64m | 6s | RNDSQR | 5468796 Architecture

    Thoughtful discussion on the cladding / renderings. The reality is, innovation is really really hard. Especially in the mid-rise infill market. Especially in the current calgary market. Especially switching from condo to rental. Especially in covid times when lumber prices double just as you...

    Calgary | 1116 - 7th Ave SW | ?m | 12s | Cidex Group | NORR

    Windows installed exactly 5 floors behind current slab, interiors presumably right behind. These crews are flying! Might set a record for occupancy

    Calgary | Underwood Tower | 99.06m | 31s | Western Securities

    You're right - shoulda just went stucco + hardie throughout

    Calgary | Park Central | 134m | 39s | Hines | S.C.B.

    The grey paneling is pretty disappointing at first glance. Looks worse in person. Interesting window system... pre-installed pressure plates / beauty caps? In any case, I can't get over how aggressively the window system is being installed. Typically you need 3 weeks for fabrication following...

    Can someone explain the voracious aversion to spandrel? It's basically treated like a swear word on this forum. Is it really that offensive? Please enlighten me

    Calgary | Eau Claire Market Redevelopment | 135.02m | 35s | Harvard Developments

    The VP of dev came into a class I'm taking to give a presentation, along side the cit of Calgary "manager of access" for the Green Line. The redevelopment that is rumored is to integrate an underground LRT station - really exciting news for this project - but no comment on the what the change...

    Calgary | Aspen and Bow | ?m | 5s | Anthem | Rositch Hemphill

    I don't know what all the fuss is about... increased investment on the exterior finishes would also be passed onto the individual buyer. Given location, this is probably already pushing $500/sqft; compromises need to be made in this market, and I'm fine with a little extra faux finish - much...

    Won't need to drive all the way to Home Depot when i forgot a drill bit or something small.... much needed addition to the community. shocked at how quickly the opened up.

    Anyone know what the tallest residential tower is in Calgary? How about largest overall residential development?

    Infill Development Discussion

    How long ago? I think Tollo is a brand new outfit... maybe the land was sold with design in hand? In any case, beautiful project. I think there are some amazing things happening in Calgary's infill market.
