I'm curious if they're planning on demolishing 1232 9th ave SE then, since it's right beside the old CIBC building and doesn't seem to be anywhere in the rendering or the scale model they made. The building's not really anything special so I doubt it'll be missed but I'm curious anyways.

Calgary's finally getting some riverside restaurants. It'd be good to see a few more appear further on the west end.

Happily it's not really anything special getting torn down, although I can't say what's being built is a significant upgrade aesthetically either.

Congratulations Surrealplaces, you deserve it after all these years!!!

Beautiful interior and exterior design as well as views, great location, quite affordable and good marketing(website is especially well done: https://nestyyc.ca/) but I feel like they may have shot themselves in the foot trying to sell condos with no parking. I may be wrong, but the vast...

Make sure to take some photos for us if you can

What percentage of sales does a project like this usually need to reach before construction begins?

Building looks great. But god damn, these renders look life-like. I thought it was already done for a second.

And then UrbanWarrior proceeded to go on the greatest walking update expedition of our time

The whole building would look sharper if they just used dark blue spandrel like in one tower IMO

They still have around 10 or 11 more floors to go right?

Hmm... central staircase that spirals upwards, check... prominent use of light colored wooden paneling, check... slight elongation of the whole circular structure situated dead center in the building, check... overall beautiful design that will make photographers in Calgary drool at the mouth...

Well what can you do, it's west end of downtown/the beltline. I'm pretty sure it's physically impossible for a stylish building to be built on that side of downtown. The population boost will be appreciated though.

That's great news Lord Varys? On a serious note though, it'd be great if it did start. The design and the spot are both looking good

Although I can appreciate the density boost and the design is good for these towers, it would be a shame if this building was torn down. It's got a lot of character and has a rather original design. It would suck to see it disappear.

OSHA when hearing this photo:

You know, this is kind of an exciting and very unexpected way of us getting a building of over 150m in height in Calgary, especially considering the fact that I can imagine many people didn't expect anything other than West Village Towers in that height bracket for a while.

Can't answer your question in regards to what's planned for it, but that is the first school that ever opened in Calgary so I doubt they're tearing it down considering that building was already moved once.

If this starts soon, I will cry tears of joy. Always hated that massive empty space in what should be midtown Calgary(though the Stampede and Saddledome parking will be missed and appreciated.

The blue and white looks sharp, but it's the lower 7 floor section with it's light brown color(not sure what it's supposed to look like, wood panelling?) feels very out of place.
