I like this photo by @GoVertical. At first glance I feel like a tourist looking at some other city for the first time.

Looks like a cake with white frosting.

Maybe some misunderstanding. I use the thumbs up to say okay cool or okay gotcha. I think that’s typically what people mean using it.

Exactly. We also went from having Art Central and the York at that intersection to sterile office towers, especially The Bow. I don’t want to see it get even deader.

I love this thread lately. Positive stories are now out numbering the doom and gloom stories.

I like your posts @UrbanWarrior and I think you’re a great contributor (a much better contributor than I am) but sometimes you respond to posts in a snarky manner, and I don’t understand why. You mentioned the reason for your comment earlier and @GoVertical gave the thumbs up. It’s all good but...

With a new DP and now a renewed website, we might get lucky and it goes ahead for real.

I’m going to be a hypocrite and say that even though I’m all for extra density and residents in the core I would rather see it done differently. Done via smaller developments and conversions of office space instead of another tall tower with a monolithic podium replacing some of the few...

I got 241M, but either way still below the height of Brookfield. Essentially a boring building that blocks out my view of Telus sky from Stephen Ave 😐

It’s been an amazing addition. The 25 million bucks to build it isn’t such a big deal now that it’s such a big part of the city.

I went past there this morning, and there are people on site. I didn’t get a good look but I saw at least a couple of guys.

Interesting that so many inner city people are singing the praises of density, what seem to oppose everything gets developed in their neighbourhood lol. I suppose it’s probably more a case of the people running the community associations rather than the people who live in the neighbourhood.

I’m positive you’re correct. My wife’s cousin from Toronto phoned me last week looking for real estate advice on Calgary. He told me all his buddies are interested in the Calgary real estate market. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if a number of these condo units were out of town buyers.

Excellent.

It’s great to see development happening at the west end. With Nude, The Hat and Sunalta towed the west end will look much different in a couple of years.

If memory serves me, there is an affordable housing proposal for that location.

Look at how wide that bridge is. It's going to be so nice compared to the old narrow one.

I can't wait for it to be into the sky. It's going to be nice to have a highrise west of 14th street.

The crown lighting looks good, the corner lighting on the balconies, even better.

I really like the look of the street level on this one, and the fact the a parking lot will be going away. Let's hope this gets built.
