I’m so curious to know what the retail bays look like inside. Smart to lease to one tenant than multiple, because I think these were going to sit empty a long time if leased piecemeal. I’m guessing Loblaw got a smoking deal.

Ditto what everyone else said.

Agreed, not the right forum, but I’m not sure if I’m being lumped in to the “some people being prejudiced and shameful” so I just want to defend myself if I’ve given off the wrong impression, because I’m not at all anti-immigration, but there are a lot of people who agree that we’re currently in...

I also feel bad for newcomers hoping for a better life, some of whom have mortgaged their lives to come here, only to find that a better life is unattainable. This has always been the case (for immigrants without existing wealth). Immigrants (generally) face an uphill battle when moving to...

I just think public opinion is swinging on immigration (reasonable, rational, and expert people are joining the debate), and politicians won’t be able to ignore it forever. Ignore it too long, and they risk public opinion becoming something more inflammatory and dangerous.

I don’t see a scenario where all forms of immigration population growth (permanent immigrants, temporary foreign workers, international students) isn’t throttled back significantly. A recession would be painful, but living standards are deteriorating under the current scenario. The...

I don’t think timeline will work for TC Liquids (South Bow) as they likely need space mid-2024. Once Liquids moves, I imagine TC Remain Co consolidates floors and renos a few floors at a time. I’ve heard Deloitte may be moving to BH.

Solid!

Outside of maybe ii. (depending on what it means), these conditions seem pretty reasonable.

For the love of god, enough with the vinyl siding. I know we’re in a housing crisis, but could we charge a few extra dollars per sq.ft. to not include vinyl siding in every 1+5? That said, this one turned out pretty well, even with the siding.

Even without economic constraints, and nice cladding materials, I think this would be a difficult building/envelope to make all that inviting as residential on the outside. Maybe you could do a mural like this (Post in thread 'Brutalism in Calgary'...

I would think that would be a condition of approval.

The do nothing (or do little) approach of this conversion is so much better than Cornerstone.

This one has exceeded my expectations.

LOL! Came here to say that as well!

I'm excited for this one! Not so sure about the window grid. Feels a bit busy.

Re: City-wide R-CG rezoning, I'm all for it. The market will dictate where this redevelopment will occur. I actually wish the City had gone further and included the rezoning to H-GO in proximity to transit, main streets and other corridors as originally proposed (+1 m for front buildings, +3.4...

The design is definitely dated but will still age better than most of the more modern 1+5’s we’ve seen lately. I actually think this is a good location for this building being across from Nimmons.

More of these in the inner city please!

Looks pretty good! I like the podium. Tower is fine. Not sure about the fins, but I can appreciate they may add something.
