    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I think all people should have the right to complain about their transportation situation, whether it be cars, trains, buses, or cycle tracks. It's either that or nobody should have the right to complain, one or the other. Tax payers contribute to all modes of transportation. It's up to the...

    This and Dominion are my two favorite projects underway.

    General Construction Updates

    I would love to see a few benches or blocks like they have at Kensington Safeway on this corner. It would become an instant people hang out place.

    Thanks for posting this @darwink I've always wondered what the breakdown was. So simply put, that first column in the left is revenue, and the next two columns are costs?

    Alpha House Discussion

    The Alpha House is a separate organize, and probably do own the land, but they are also subsidized. It was there before the recent development, but did expanded at a time after the development was there. The city could have denied the application and instead helped them along with a move. Here...

    Alpha House Discussion

    The city has a high level goal of trying to build up the east side of the Beltline by adding more residential and building an entertainment district, but you've got a small, extreme case shelter right in the heart of it all, and it's affecting the city's goals of building up the east end of the...

    I think it's pretty much on the backburner.

    Calgary | West Village Towers | 149.95m | 42s | Cidex Group | NORR Dubai Yahya Jan

    Hey I agree, it would be nice to have better architecture, but demanding developers do it is a slippery slope, especially since the average person or average city councilor has varying ideas of what's quality. I thin right now we have a decent balance. Developers do nicer projects - but they...

    People including myself prefer transparent glass over spandrel, but spandrel is probably the next best reasonably affordable material. I don't have any issue with it. Yeah, I'd love stainless steel or white ceramic tiles, etc.. but IMO spandrel is the best of the less expensive materials.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Maybe they need to break things up more. Small businesses are their own pot, large office space is their open pot, and warehouse space, in it's own pot. In my opinion it should be like @Golfing guy said, you pay taxes whether it's empty or not, or whether the value has gone down. If it's gone...

    Agreed. I used to be thrilled by the heights of buildings, but now I’ve matured and I prefer quality over quantity :)

    I believe the rendering makes the project look bigger than it is. The building is replacing only two houses, not a very big lot. It’ll end up looking taller and thinner than it does in a rendering, and with 20 units (4 per floor) I suppose that’s about what you could expect for a lot that...

    Urban Fare looks nice. Hot meals, and prepared food will be a good option for people in the beltline especially singles or couples . The timing is perfect for a store like that.
