I would also like to say thanks to both 1875 and Urban Warrior for their posts over the past few years. It’s the kind if thing that brings me to the site.

Wow, still six floors to go. This is going to be one tall slender looking building.

Most arenas don’t have vibrant street fronts or good street interaction,, but some do sn okay job of it. Little Cesars and Capital One have been mentioned. and I agree with those choices. Those are the best at street interaction IMO. A few years back I went to a concert at Madison Square...

Do any arenas really have good street activation though?

Not too bad.

I was thinking the same thing.

I can't be thankful enough for how this turned out. It was looking so dreadful in the renderings, but in reality is a pretty solid design. I like how the white stripes tend stand out at night even though they aren't lit.

I must be into this building way too much. Most guys dream at night of sexy women, whereas I had a dream the other night, that I was peeling the plastic wrap off of the panels.

This is a fantastic project, the type of project Calgary could use more of.

Too bad about the high vacancy rate downtown, I imagine this is nowhere near getting built. On the flipside the design is uninspiring, so maybe it's for the best.

Any word on whether the second tower is still going ahead?

I hope this is something that goes ahead. I know most peeps here don't like the design, but the added density right in the core would be nice.

I look the slender look of this tower 👍

Yeah, definitely more noticeable, you can easily see the tower from Deerfoot now. Kinda nice to have something in the backdrop in that area.

Is this under construction now?

Thanks for posting those numbers. I wonder how long before Kelowna passes Sherbrooke and Regina? The numbers for Calgary are fantastic!

I like that brick on the lower level.

There or one of the other inner city neighborhoods, Inglewood, Mission, Beltline, Kensington.

I don’t know where to post this so I’ll post it here. Calgary may be down but it’s not out. One of the highest population growths in the country. Our pop stands at 1,543,000 now. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.660citynews.com/2021/01/14/calgary-population-grows-by-almost-two-per-cent/amp/
