The frontage on 17 Ave is good. The rest of it is fine. I don’t really like that this perpetuates an alley entrance onto 17th. Would have been better if they could have purchased the building on the 5 Ave corner to have a single building across 17 Ave from 5 to 5a, and created an alley entrance...

I'm guessing this is temporary in nature 🤷‍♂️?

Definitely has a factory loft feel.

I didn’t realize there was 30 stalls off the loading dock ramp. I don’t think it changes the argument that this area can exist separate from on-site general parking, and general parking can be buried more than one level, or not exist at all.

LOL. I don't think it was an argument, just debate. My point was not there shouldn't be on-site parking, it was that we shouldn't kid ourselves about who that parking serves (owners/players/staff/premium ticket holders), and that this shouldn't come at the cost of better design. We shouldn't...

Yeah, I think someone counted 190 in the last design. My guess is that the new layout will have more stalls because the parkade area seems larger. The Parkade previously took up ~1/2 of the N wall on a smaller site and now takes up ~3/4 of the S wall on a larger site (keeping in mind that in...

1. As noted by Duck Lightning, the site (now 10 ac) is larger (~40%) than it was previously. I would think there should now be room for a ramp (Edmonton buried it’s parking on a smaller site). There may be other constraints I’m not aware of (cost probably being the main driver), but space...

The yellow is subtle enough the it doesn’t really bother me.

I’m still annoyed at the parkade. I think if there’s going to be a parkade, it should form part of the future redevelopment site. If the Flames want a parkade so bad, they can build in into their future headquarters and bury a few levels of it.

Former A1 location.

What’s your estimate for how much the developer would have netted in a 4% environment if they sold for $26M, and how much are they losing in the current environment? I’m just curious how much return there was for a developer on these mid-rise purpose-built rental projects in ideal conditions...

I generally like it, but there are two things that are bothering me and I can’t decide if it’s a design feature or an optical illusion. 1. Are floors 3-6 cantilevered over floors 1&2? If so, I don’t like that. 2. Are the brick “columns” and windows on floors 3-6 misaligned with the columns and...

Looks great! Love that they incorporated the original red “barn”. Added bonus that the park (which is small by comparison of a lot of other CA parks) will get a refresh and packs a lot of activities into a small area.

Christ! This is like putting shag carpet over hardwood. What an absolute mess!

Windows and brick look great. I still maintain that the siding was a poor design choice.

Could be Autumn Blaze Maple.

Considering the current ban on non-Canadians purchasing residential property, I would think they need to be careful not to knowingly sell to non-Canadians (fines and forced sale).

I think the one in Garrison woods does pretty well.

The lot has been a great location for things like Taste of Calgary, but there are enough empty lots in this City for these one-off events. If it’s not a new high rise condo, I’m glad it will be a park.

Hopefully it includes NEW renders!!!
