    General Construction Updates

    Can't remember the name of the project but drove past that new apartment building at the corner of Edmonton Trail and Memorial Drive this morning and they were starting to install that exterior mesh or whatever it can be described as. Not sure if I like it or not.but could look cool once it's...

    Nice pic of the project in this tweet. I have to say it's growing on me now that there's more white.

    That roof just seems to be begging for solar panels.

    Calgary | BMO Centre Expansion | 25m | 5s | CMLC

    Building officially opens tomorrow. The article almost implies that it will be possible for the public to check out the interior but offers no further details. I know the Stampede is offering free guided tours this coming Saturday as part of their community event at Enmax Park but I don't know...

    Sounds like it was an issue of funding blocks. The latest update on the project website is from January of this year and says "Now that we have received funding for the next phase of construction, we are aiming to have all construction on the Eau Claire Plaza completed in 2025. In the meantime...

    Calgary International Airport

    Alexis is all about making money and the 787s have yet to prove they can turn a profit 12 months of the year. It's easy to make money to Europe in the summer with wide-bodies but then you have to figure out what to do with them the other 7 months of the year to keep the profitable. I've been...

    The house is further back from the lagoon and the pathway than I thought it was going to be. Still a much better location for it than where it was before though.

    Agreed. The posters on the concrete are a very cool touch. Still really wish they had places a water feature in the plaza. The tarmac is so hot during Stampede it's nice to have some sort of water feature to be close to and to contrast that.

    Some further details on Mikey's. I didn't even comment the dots that they were located in this same building. Also, this is a Strategic Group project? Didn't they just pause the Baron Building conversion because they had no cash...

    General Construction Updates

    SAM Centre by Stampede Park and a bonus horse statue picture because I know how much everyone here loves them 😄 Building seems nice and will probably see more activity once the new arena is built, provided the design doesn't turn its back to the eastern side. My one comment only is that it's...

    Calgary | Sovereign | 40.54m | 14s | Avi Urban | GEC

    Well that's extremely disappointing. This was probably the development I was most looking forward to. Not really anything to do with the design but everything to do with adding some much needed life to the dead strip of 17th Ave between the Stampede Grounds and 4th St. I think this project would...

    Anyone know if the Sam Centre will be a paid admission venue or is it designed more as a free drop-in type space? It would be interesting to check out but not sure if I care enough about the history of the Stampede to pay

    Does anyone have a full summary of what was passed yesterday together with all the amendments? We're getting blanket rezoning but I think there was also some stuff about changing parking minimums, public engagement and parks?

    These signs have popped up around Olympic Plaza today. The QR code leads to the following website asking people to complete a survey on plaza design. Design reveal will be early 2025 apparently. https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7791617/Olympic-Plaza-Transformation

    Sounds like some of the Event Centre designs will be revealed at the Event Centre Committee meeting on Monday and then again at CPC on Wednesday. Be curious to see if any of them leak out.

    Calgary | Arts Commons | 18m | 4s | City of Calgary | KPMB

    Is anyone with amazing skills able to take the DP footprint of the Arts Common expansion and overlay it onto a satellite image of Olympic Plaza? I get the sense that it looks bad on paper but in reality it is probably just occupying the space currently taken up by the benches and greenspace...
