    Carney is here meeting Premiers.

    Calgary | The Edgewater | 30.6m | 9s | Trico Homes | S2

    Those stairwells will make perfect seating for the area's wandering residents... Something desperately needs to fill that Detroit style wasteland. I will take it at this point. Hopefully they colour match the easy trim on what I assume will be another Hardie panel exterior.

    Calgary | Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    Wasn't there a micro hotel or something too?

    Truman is going absolutely gangbusters! I kind of worry they'll stretch themselves thin. Don't want another Torode style implosion. They seem to have their shit together though. Can't believe they have such a small HQ considering their growth.

    Are you talking about Barlow and 52nd? They both have dirt piles just waiting for construction. Barlow is terrible. They went from 1 set of lights to 2. How was that ever approved? I take the Shepard Road shortcut to avoid it.

    General Construction Updates

    Lots of earth moving going on north of the PBS building at 130th. Was discussed a bit in the Greenline thread and someone who works there said it’s a second building expansion for PBS and that it differs a bit from previous renderings.

    Calgary | Broadway on 17th | 154m | 47s | Vesta | Zeidler

    I want to see a daylight rendering. Is it just square with night lighting adding that design? Do the balconies make a similar pattern? What colour is the building? It’s really hard to tell.

    Calgary | Gresham Block | 24m | 6s | Truman | Casola Koppe

    Is that brick I see going all the way to the roofline?!? If built as depicted it will make the monstrosity across the street even more shameful.

    Calgary | Caravan Apartments | 18m | 6s | City Vibe | KN

    Is the name a nod to the trailers it is replacing? I wasn’t aware the trailer park was going. These identical buildings of grey, black and white with wood veneer accents popping up everywhere are the new commie blocks. Show some creativity for once!

    General Construction Updates

    Seton update: The Avalon mixed use project a block away is now at grade.

    Calgary | Midfield Heights | 40m | 11s | City of Calgary

    Drove by yesterday and the playground looks mighty lonely.

    Calgary | Plaza | 109m | 33s | Cantiro | GEC

    Looking at this again I wonder are there some units without balconies?

    Hopefully they don’t cheap out putting the UV protection film on only half the windows and doing a random band on one side this time. Looks terrible on the current building.

    We should make sure there’s lots of Canadian flags in sight.

    606 4th street | 60m | 16s | Dream

    Beige stucco panels or spandrel will be the tribute. Maybe some random rectangles.

    606 4th street | 60m | 16s | Dream

    Maybe some EIFS stucco?

    606 4th street | 60m | 16s | Dream

    Guaranteed they will replace them with blue spandrel! Lol!

    If it’s by the PBS building and Canadian Tire I was wondering the same but I think that might be the second phase of Shepard Station office park. I asked about it in the Construction thread too. https://cana.ca/shepard-station

    They're still drilling for soil samples by the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. It's been a few weeks. I'm guessing the overpass will cross over the corner of their lot SW of Barlow and 114th.
