I agree! H-GO is great but these developments will delay higher density development on Main Street corridors for decades.

It almost looks like exterior on some of the earlier renderings of EV606.

Such an odd form but I still don’t hate it. The rear of the building looks stupid though.

Looks pretty good, and I have faith that it will turn out well because it’s Anthem. Material will definitely be key. The horizontal siding in the balconies is the material that gives me most concern, even though it represents so little of the exterior.

I’ve been wondering when we were going to see a a DP for this one.

An A&W is proposed to be added to the Petro-Canada in Marda Loop. https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2023-08198

- Montreal Canadiens (March 1996) - Ottawa Senators (January 1996) - Washington Capitals (December 1997) - Toronto Maple Leafs (February 1999) I’m not saying it’s a template the Flames will want to follow, and you’re probably right, they’ll target a summer completion so the Flames don’t have to...

I think they’ll under promise with the hope to over deliver, but I also think they’ll want to move ASAP to maximize revenue. Other teams have moved mid-season (e.g., Leafs).

Noticed an excavator on-site today and the first building (former RNDSQR sales centre) has come down.

Weird roof lines

I feel like that could alleviate the traffic issue a bit.

Was there ever a connection from the Westbound lane of 33 Ave to 25 St (where the City currently has its sand storage)? Lights at 29 Street & Richmond Road is interesting (pretty short gap to the light at 29 St & 33 Ave).

Just going to leave this here: https://apple.news/AXer0ISzRSF6cDEFnkrKCcw

It’s following a fairly similar timeline of their other projects on 33rd. As one project is wrapping up the next one starts construction. I’m sure as this one is wrapping up construction, the 1500 Block project will be starting construction.

You’re right, the checkerboard is better.

Nice! Can’t decide if I like the checkerboard pattern or not.

As much as it sucks that the Inglewood project will be cancelled, it’s probably for the best, as I’m not confident that RNDSQR could have pulled it off without major compromises. They could have pulled off the Marda Loop developmemt as it was proposed, but maybe it’s also for the best since...

I recalled seeing this article: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6762472 The proponents pointed to a few factors (e.g., COVID) but I think the biggest factor was probably that there isn’t much of a market for a co-op.

I noticed an excavator on site while driving by tonight. I’m not sure why, because it seemed like they had already completed excavation. It’s possible that it’s from the Main Streets contractor and they are just temporarily storing it there.

I wonder if the Surge would relocate here from WinSport.
