This ^^ I'm perfectly happy with them taking their sweet time on this one and getting the design right.

Agreed. Overhead powerlines especially make the street feel so much more aged than it needs to be. Should throw 'em underground and put some trees in their place.

Definitely. Though I must say, I don't love the grey colour you see in the picture above when it's sunny out. Kind of causes the blue windows to appear faded rather than stand out. Still doesn't ruin my love for this building though. Just a minor little thing.

Really sorry if this has already been mentioned, seems pretty new tho. I noticed a large red crane near University City this morning (this one looks like it might be temporary, perhaps just to set up the actual crane? i'm no expert ...) Then coming back this afternoon, saw a large yellow...

Oh hey, I was walking around there today too Surreal! I was there at about 3pm. We could've walked past each other and never even noticed!

Awww, how nice of them to name a project after the Flames' captain! (jokes)

Wow! And i didn't even notice the truck until it was pointed out lmao Guess that shows about how much I know about cars & trucks

Hey, does anyone know of any volunteer opportunities in construction that don't require a ton of experience? Especially in demolition, been trying to get some extra volunteer hours and it would be fun to rip old buildings apart for the aesthetic betterment of our city haha.

That centre street drive gives a truly fantastic view of DT lol. The 4 tallest buildings clustered together, layered on top of each other like that, just gorgeous. The other really neat view I've found is from the southbound Red C-train line, coming around the corner right after the SAIT...

I actually don't mind it that much. I don't see the "hockey player" comparison they're trying to make - feels like a pretty big stretch - but the bird is nice i guess. O-tac's right though. I've seen far nicer art get treated with a lot less respect.

This could be huge. They're specifically citing a lack of density as a primary reason for this acquisition. Might pave the way for some massive changes. 42 buildings is a lot ... I know most of them are 1-3 stories usually ... but still. Wonder how much it all cost to acquire? Could be great...

Ikr, i was poking around about a week ago and noticed Park Point existed on the map ... thought that was odd, and scrolled up in excitement to find all the other new buildings finally there too! Actually pretty neat seeing the skyline from above change that dramatically ... shows how far we've...

I genuinely wouldn't mind if Bjarke designed a few more towers for us in Calgary. Looking at his other works, his head seems to be in the right place, he seems to design things a certain way and for a certain reason. His work looks to be of quite high quality, doesn't seem to "mail it in" very...

Agreed. I'm actually starting to like this one quite a bit.

Im pretty sure its the left one (unfortunately?), if what I remember reading earlier is still the case. Also, is it still actually 50 stories? I remember some discussion about whether it was 50 or something closer to 30 ... but the page still does say 50. If it were the design on the right I'd...

Agreed. I think OVER ALL, I'd slightly prefer the one on the right over the one on the left. Left one seems too bland for me. A little more colour variation and that could easily be solved. The one on the right is most definitely more unique, and indeed a tad bit awkward ... but it would most...

So this one's a go-ahead?? Great news :)

More like whining and throwing a tantrum .. seems like he gave up civilized arguing long ago lmao. Man I wish this one would move faster :| Then again, seeing as how we don't have anything massive in the works, I guess waiting for 'smaller' but meaningful projects like this will have to tide us...

I read somewhere that this is nearing its final height. Really? It looks like it still has a while to go, no? Great pics tho GoVertical, I haven't followed this one extensively so I didn't even know the balconies were gonna be spaced around like that. I like it :)
