    Calgary | The Windsor | ?m | 6s | Arlington Street | NORR

    Out to market $444k / unit. Hah! Probably the worst kitchen package of any new condo in the city. Unbelievably bad. Terrible floorplans too. Dear Lord. Even the townhomes are a mess with narrow corridors, small bedrooms, oversized closets. First swing and a miss!

    This is dead. Someone will probably come in and make this is a rental because market has spoken at its height that it doesn't really want this product. It's back out to market for sale but prices not close to penciling for us at least.

    Looks like a big mansard roof poop. I applaud these guys for the full-fledged attempt to make pizza hut look sexy though. They are doing cool things on the interior and doing something different than everybody else. It is a good mix for what is needed in the market demographically, so a big win...

    Hi 1875, I work for the company that is the equity behind the development of Marda Lyfe Residences (nice pics by the way). I was wondering if you would be agreeable to our use of one of the exterior photos you used on...

    Calgary | Ezra on Riley Park | ?m | 8s | Birchwood Properties | NORR

    @LloydBraun hundreds of units in Edmonton.

    Calgary | Westmount Development | 20m | 6s | Anthem | Integra Architecture

    I think it is a good for the site and a win for the neighbourhood. I love the interior courtyards, especially if we can have paving as that works well in Calgary and there is not shortage of amenities with the river valley. My sole suggestion is having the potential for live/work units as I...

    Calgary | The Fifth | 17m | 5s | Arlington Street | NORR

    Miles better than previous render. Still kitty corner to the Shell but an improvement for sure. Very strange they are running under a different development flag. My understanding was that the investors from The National were rolling their investment into this property. To my knowledge, Arlington...

    Calgary | Ezra on Riley Park | ?m | 8s | Birchwood Properties | NORR

    I think the best way would actually to create a limited dividend program. Get the government to securitize a product that pays down blocks of rent in neighbourhoods at select projects to make the rents affordable. Money is raised from the BOC auction on a 30 year interest and return of...

    Calgary | Beacon | ?m | 2s | RNDSQR | 5468796 Architecture

    It's cool for the area, nice small addition.

    Calgary | West 17 | 35.05m | 10s | Truman | NORR

    IMHO: 1) Looks like a suburb condo development. Why do we keep building these silo buildings? 2) The stepped back look is dumb. Just built it square with some nice architecture and get the extra units. This sun paranoia makes no sense for a city that wants to urbanize. Near a transportation...

    Calgary | Uptown at Westbrook | 37m | 12s | Matco Group | Zeidler

    Maybe have a bonfire with Westbrook mall and start from scratch?

    Calgary | BLVD Beltline | 118.87m | 37s | ONE Properties | Arquitectonica

    This is a great addition. Not because it is great on its own but this combined with Underwood, taking away some holes. My preference is the one on the left actually. I like the brutalist throwback although could go for more podium variety / height.

    Reminds me of the old Pizza Hut buildings. I like a lot of what MoDA does but not crazy about this at all.

    Calgary | Calgary Cancer Centre | 75m | 14s | Province of Alberta | Stantec

    @MichaelS very interesting..... "NW Hub...forecasted to have the highest concentration of jobs and population outside the Centre City. It’s already the second largest employment area in Calgary" @DiscoStu Good point. The $175 million price tag for 5 km doesn't seem to bad really. It was ranked...

    Woof! Just kidding (mostly) definitely an improvement.

    Calgary | M2 Block | ?m | 4s | XYC | Riddell Kurczaba

    Very logical approach to the parking and in general a good move for Calgary to think more holistically about parking in terms of growing out of supply and demand. EV is pretty incredible spot. Great addition.

    Calgary | Calgary Cancer Centre | 75m | 14s | Province of Alberta | Stantec

    Is there any discussion about a transportation solution for Foothills? My girlfriend works here and she says there is no parking (despite the website saying they haven't reduced the number of stalls). Apparently there was a gondola study years ago that suggested the cost of a 5km line would be...

    Nice! What is the status on the Truman in the neighbourhood? Adult complex I believe.
