I could come up with a bad acronym or two. Just to add a little to the idea, I think that concentrating on one stretch would be the way to start. Perhaps the few that cross Stephen Ave as well as the ones crossing the Streets between 9th Ave and 7th Ave. This would allow people to walk Steven...

I'm not familiar with the 707 to Watermark one and am fine with the Gulf to Penn one. I was thinking more along the lines of the LED wraps that are capable of showing images. Perhaps there could be some sort of interactive ones, others with music ser to the artistic images etc. Something like...

Hopefully this moves forward. Despite the huge amount of traffic, I think 4th Ave has some potential. There is already a decent amount of residential with enough empty lots to add more. There is the Westin and The Westley hotels that add some vibrancy as well as The Keg, Ceilis, Pig & Duke...

On the topic of LED's, I would love to see +15's wrapped in LED's. It would add light and a feeling of safety to downtown to start with. Another big benefit would be that it makes the +15's a street level attraction, rather than drawing people off of the streets.

Oh, and I would say that if you own a condo, big appreciation is likely not happening....there are a 100 sites for new buildings....long term gold though.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think we will see some big condo projects move forward next year...tech is growing here and there are rumors of Big Tech companies investing based on our insanely low taxes. The people that work for these companies will be fine with living in a high density area.

I feel like some of this mid rise stuff is a result of our downturn....developers hold off on the 30 to 40 floor condo projects, but that opens the door for some smaller ones in Kensington, Bridgeland etc because there is still a market, but not for 350 units in a single project.

Just drove by 15 minutes ago and there is excavation happening with a dump truck on site.

Hopefully something of this scale goes up, though I don't really like the design of the towers. I actually think that 4th Ave has some potential West of 1 ST SW, despite the high traffic volume. There is signage for residential on the small lot/Circle K to the NE of this proposal as well. A...

I love the idea of ACAD moving downtown to the old CBE location. Close to Bow Valley, potentially could take the old Central Library site too. Add in the new SAIT digital program that is taking the Odd Fellows building and there would be a lot of students in the area. Perhaps something where...

Not a full reclad, but this is the former Birchcliff Energy building on 4 Ave SW between 5th and 6th St. It took some digging because I couldn't really find much about the project, but it appears it will be known as The Westley Hotel and it will be part of The Tapestry Collection from Hilton...

I think pretty much everyone agrees that more people living downtown is the key. Office conversions would help. We are obviously a long ways away from seeing new office built, but if there could be more incentive going forward for mixed use buildings, that would be great. Hopefully Telus Sky...

Are those LED panels on the ceiling of the overhang?
