    I don't see this posted. Another residential development in Sunnyside has been proposed for this location...

    Calgary | Nest | 40.23m | 15s | Cairo Development | Casola Koppe

    They seem to have secured the contracts to build a lot of projects however, they were not even in business 30 months ago. We'll see how many projects they can handle at one time. Who knows, they might become another Eaglecrest who came out of nowhere to become one of the most active builders in...

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

    Looks like this one is going to start in the fall. ITC is the general contractor.

    Calgary | Riverpark | 18m | 6s | M2SC | Casola Koppe

    Cairo is mostly made up of people who used to work at Strategic Group. While Strategic is still procrastinating on Barron Building, Cairo has landed their 4th project since the pandemic hit.

    US Politics

    The latest from Donald J. Trump, the most careless, ignorant and least qualified person to be POTUS ever!. After his Florida home was searched by the FBI with a perfectly legal warrant and he announced it to the world, see how his story has changed in less than a week. 1. He said FBI stormed his...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    Has anyone seen someone get a speeding ticket on a bicycle or a scooter for that matter? On dual purpose pathways, I am surprised there are not more accidents with pedestrians, the way some cyclists and scooters dart in and out of people walking. If there are accidents with any kind of frequency...

    Weather and Gardening Discussion

    I guess for Calgary, multiple days around 30 degrees is considered reason for concern. It is not normal for our summers (last year aside). Some summers we never get to 30 degrees. However, we are experiencing nothing like they are in eastern Canada, most of the U.S., parts of Europe etc. That...

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

    All I know is that those blocks of 11 & 12 Ave SE from Stampede Way to the bus barn have been barren and a major eyesore for far too long... what almost 20 years now? It is one empty lot after another with poor sidewalks and no bike lanes (ends at 4 St). Development in that area can't happen...

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

    The Stampede grounds and the block north of it (stretching along 12 Ave SE) is going to look like it is in a permanent state of construction over the next several years 1. BMO expansion & LRT modifications. 2. Most of 12 Ave has been dug up for Green line prep work. There are detours all over...

    Life In Calgary

    Thankfully, life has returned to Calgary and most everywhere else ....at least for the summer. Lets hope that we all don't get a COVID smackdown in the fall. There is still talk from the medical community that we are not over COVID yet. They are worried about more variants which means this could...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Up until a few months ago, some buyers were offering 20-25% more than asking price, and that was not necessarily in a bidding war. I would imagine those buyers are feeling pretty stupid now.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    There are 39 Calgary projects on that website and only 2 from Edmonton. I don't know how they are selling to outside investors in volume. Aside from rent guarantees, what else is there. Yes owning a condo in Calgary is much cheaper than a comparable condo in Toronto and Vancouver. However, what...

    Calgary | Hudson Condos | 20m | 5s | Sarina Homes | Casola Koppe

    Yes there is. There are 39 Calgary projects on that website and only 2 from Edmonton. Aside from rent guarantees, I don't know how they are selling them. Yes owning a condo in Calgary is much cheaper than a comparable condo in Toronto and Vancouver. However, what are the prospects of price...

    Roads, Highways & Infrastructure

    It makes 'too much' sense to have the football stadium where the grandstand is. It is an ideal location and half the seats are built already. I know it requires some careful engineering but surely they can make it work. The current grandstand and field has to be the most underutilized facility...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    The MyInvestmentbrokers website seems to be a popular marketing tool for several Calgary developers. All of Truman's projects are on there, Graywood, Avi, and couple from Rohit

    Calgary | Alto | 24m | 6s | Minto | DAAS

    It seems they are aiming at the investor/buyer as they did with Era in Bridgeland.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    I agree. In my walks throughout the inner city, I have noticed a heightened level of agitation from homeless or destitute types. I think we are experiencing the negative societal effects of COVID layoffs, lockdowns, restrictions and mask mandates. Many medical experts were forecasting this was...

    Yes. I posted the same in the Downtown Dilemma thread under 'General'.
