    I find the tower portion much less offensive, but the 8 storey parkade is pretty awful!

    Trees in Calgary

    Those big old Poplars look awful, I think it's time to replant the rest of them now.

    Wasn't Quebec City bigger than Montreal for a long time?

    Calgary | Beltline Block | 118m | 36s | ONE Properties | Gibbs Gage

    I used to live there like 15 years ago. The views from Bromley are great, but that is hands down the ugliest tower in all of downtown. The interiors were actually pretty brutal when I lived there too (think like 20 layers of paint over stipple on the f'n demising walls!), renos started while I...

    Infill Development Discussion

    Saw this one today, not sure if it has been posted about before. Corner of 34st and 3rd Ave (Bowness Rd) in Parkdale. More buildings and less old ugly fences along this stretch would do wonders for the area.

    It's interesting to see a Landscape / Planning firm making all the applications, that's typically the Architect's job.

    I remember than now, creosote prevented major excavation.

    The Design changed at least 3 years ago, looks much more similar to this document (shared by niteryder about a year ago) than the render on the front page. Looks like it was VE'd further though as the white brick was replaced by white lapped siding.

    Wasn't there a proposal for the CBC land? Just a bunch of townhomes or something?

    The more buildings blocking Bromley, the better!

    So Last of Us isn't the first time Calgary has filled in for KC? lol

    Spring seems reasonable, can spend the winter demolishing the existing buildings and killing the utilities that serve it.

    Reminds me of when Exit Wounds filmed in Calgary, was supposed to be Detroit but the Calgary Tower made an appearance haha.

    I think Calgary is perfectly suited to stand in as "Generic City USA" in much the way Vancouver does, especially if Generic City gets snow lol.

    Weather and Gardening Discussion

    With a La Nina brewing, this should be a milder and snowier winter, so yay snowboarding!

    Calgary | Beltline Block | 118m | 36s | ONE Properties | Gibbs Gage

    Looks fantastic! hope it actually looks like that! With this and the tower on 4th & 17th, Calgary seems to have turned a corner design wise...

    Calgary | Crown Park | 11m | 3s | Brookfield

    I think it was seniors housing before, so private.

    Weather and Gardening Discussion

    I switch to winter tires in early november and back to summers early may. All depends on the weather and if there's snow to shred in the mountains lol.
