There's also another one a bit further away at North Hill Mall, but one thing about Shoppers' they always seem to be busy.

Agreed. Even though both have a similar lane setup (3 lanes per side, with a 7th lane in the centre for left hand turning) 16th ave much better than Macleod, and with some tweaking could potentially be a semi decent retail corridor.

I can create one later today.

That far back. Wow, time does fly!

It's too bad they expanded 16th a few years back. One lane of street parking and a driving lane per direction and 16th would be looking pretty promising right now. Still some hope though, it could end up being something like a junior version of Kingsway.

Interesting. I wonder why they moved everything to Balzac? the SE location wasn't that old. It wasn't built by eStruxtures, maybe they wanted to build their own from scratch.

This is a thing for sure. The org I work for requires all data to reside in Canada. I don't know about provincial geo restrictions, but as you mentioned I could see it with provincial government, health, etc.. Alberta health had been using data centres here in Calgary, and maybe it's because of...

Whether cloud or traditional private cage hosting etc.. physical distance does make a difference. I've been involved in various projects involving orgs in Calgary using Azure (located in Toronto and Quebec city), and often it's too slow for many apps. Some pilots have been tested and scrapped...

Standard suburban build. The extra density will be good.

Thanks for the update, and welcome @BobtheDog

Cool. The site in Balzac or 54th street? I spent a ton of time at the eStruxture site at 54th, back when it was run by Viawest..

This is the Bridgeland one. Another 59 units coming to Bridgeland.

Calgary is right up there. It's by far the data centre hub of the prairies and is closing in on Vancouver. For regular data centres, usually that's the case, with cloud services the power model is different. Many companies have stuff in the cloud that only gets used as an overflow site at...

My wife used to work there and I can tell you that the residents complain about any kind of change, no matter what it is. One time they painted the main level bathroom a different shade of white and residents complained lol. The only concern I would have is ambulance parking, and that can easily...

Another large data centre. It's a good niche industry that's building in Calgary. Not a ton of permanent jobs, but jobs, and good infrastructure to help entice and support economic diversity.

👍👍👍👍👍

I haven't heard a peep for the Chartwell one, but there has been some activity - albeit, little - on the other side of the building where phase II of the London Towers is planned.

You beat me too it!

I love this, it looks better than a lot of the market projects going up these days. Hopefully it doesn't get EV'd too much.

I remember him too. He was on here for a bit, but I haven't seen him in a long time, and unfortunately can't recall his username on either site. Oddly enough I remember his real name lol.
