Regional rail should not duplicate what the LRT already does. Transfer points at 210 Ave and then downtown and Airport connector and then on to Airdrie and Okotoks I think would maximize usefulness and speed.

They only release studies once they have been changed to say exactly what they want them to say. Editing takes time and money to pay off teams.

Don't forget that all the stock gains now are based on the AI bubble and when (not if) it fails, it will not be the tech bro's that lose. It will be your pension. Get ready for it.

Balconies look like they were designed for a parkour convention or mission impossible movie shoot.

I think they are planning move ins in the fall. Modular suites are already under construction.

I reached out since I am looking for a new place this summer. Studios $1640; 1 Bed $1737-$1960. Not sure if that's affordable, or if it's just more than I am willing to pay :) That does not include parking - $300 underground and $175 for surface.

As a renter myself I will say the price determines if it is appealing or not. If it is trying to compete with high amenity new builds it will not compete. But if the price is right, you can rent anything. Just not sure if they will price it right. I see the Flyover new build has reduced to...

More like a ChatGPT design me two towers to add to this parking lot please. Although maybe AI can design better some days :)

Why would developers care about an area the city clearly doesn’t?

Here's an idea. Ask the city to build a walkable overpass over McLeod tying into the existing walkway. Remove pedestrian traffic from Heritage. Seems like a win-win. And cheaper than a new overpass.

I agree it is a nice build form and works with the limitations. Also, with backing right onto single family homes it can create a buffer to hopefully more density beside it and into the parking lot by the LRT.

I think the city is just following the province choice in arguing this through the media instead of in private.

Thinking about the NC expansion - and I think the key to getting this done will rest on the airport connection and the provinces grand central idea. An airport connection with transfers to Banff is really only great for tourism if it takes the green line right through downtown. Over to the Blue...

If you wait, you will need to wait until the next provincial election and hope for a change (talk about high risk). I cannot see the UCP admitting they were wrong and funding anything other than what they have provided. And if the city says no, we will wait, I am not sure once the Rail Crown...

First and foremost - this argument is troublesome. I don't think anyone can say, with a straight face, that the tunnel will cost less than elevated. I see politicians (Nenshi for one) starting to say this, and it makes them look silly. Elevated will be less than a tunnel - there is no doubt...

I wonder when the province will setup the rail crown corporation. I can't see how they do not take over all the rail building in the province including Calgary and Edmonton. These projects are too large for a city to oversee, and you also benefit from the knowledge kept and lessons learned...

Let’s be honest City of Calgary. If you think this will cost 7.5 billion then the tunnel will cost 9.5 billion. Anyone who says the tunnel is cheaper than elevated is dreaming. This report looks well thought out and that they analyzed the options they were instructed to. And interesting they...

Maybe a bright yellow facade would improve the look of this building :)

Since the RFP for phase one included the underground to Eau Claire already, it is going to face major scope changes. So, I say they accept the UCP alignment and then start re-design. Send back a crayon drawing to secure funding grants and build it to the Event Centre. You can deal with any...

You are replacing the view of a parking lot and train yard with a raised train and getting a stop right outside your door. I don't think the developer here will have any issues with the elevated line here. I would prefer the train to what is there currently.
