The fact that Centre street already has those apartment buildings and dense areas is the reason we need to build there. It’s where the people are. The common TOD of high rises built on empty lots won’t happen on Centre, but we’ll get a higher number of smaller multi-family developments within...

I don’t know the definitions myself, but I would say deliverability scores higher due to it being cheaper and easier. I don’t argue it would be cheaper and easier, but often the better option is harder and costlier. Community well being? Not sure what that is, but if I had to guess it’s related...

Centre doesn’t have to be a pipe dream. We’re a big city now, so time to put the big boy pants on, and just do it. Building it through Nose Creek is 1980’s type thinking where the cheapest way was the best way.

It’s not the worst plan I’ve heard.lol In Adam McVicar’s tweet he says council is voting next week on whether transfer the project over to the province? What does that mean exactly?

Technically it’s not spandrel, but I know what you mean.

It’s a gray area, but with a manned pod, I think you could call it a tower crane. There’s not much difference from many of the luffing cranes usually on the list and that one at Emerald Sky.

Did I miss something? I feel like I’m in the wrong thread or something. I thought there was an update for the Oxford tower. Regarding the Oxford location. I hope someday there will be a redesign for a hotel/residential tower ~65 floors with a spire just tall enough to make it the new tallest.

I noticed a 5-6 storey building has been built immediately SE of the ring road / 17th ave SE intersection. Does anyone know what it is?

Sad to see older/cheaper stock apartments going, but the result is a net gain of residential units. Units that will be older cheaper stock in the future.

I like this so far. 7/10 for me.

Still, this looks much better than some of the other conversions so far.

We’ve been through these arguments already, but as much as you hate cars, the fact remains, people who drive cars have a right to complain about construction. Cars and drivers are part of society. Why should cyclist have more of a right to complain about construction than drivers? Earlier you...

Toronto and Vancouver have been slowing down for the past 6 months or so. High cost plus slowdown in international immigration would be my guess.

Perfect fit for UD.

I would sum up Canada’s success to two things. Maturity, and coaching. We lucked out getting Marsch, I think he’s the biggest single difference.

The Bankview development at 23rd ave is missing from the list.

I went to the Canada section not too long ago and the hate against Calgary/Alberta/The west has dampened but mostly due to not many Calgarians/westerners posting. The bulk of posters are mostly the same people from east of Ontario, and to be honest I don’t think they want to hear from us...

Some retail in the centre of Bankview would transform the area.

Looks promising 6-7 floors mixed use is perfect for that location. And, wouldn’t it be great to finally get rid of that of that empty lot.
