Thread for this conversion.

Sometimes the system doesn't take the proper address and append the correct province for some reason. If you know of a project, but don't know its location it should show up to the correct location if you click on the project. and then about half way down you'll see the map and then you can...

I would prefer an apartment building, but I don't mind this. 68 units in total is decent density and will help build a continuous wall along 26th.

Exactly. The school's have huge fields that aren't well utilized, and it's not like it's really park land, it's like you said, a dry, dusty field. If they developed a third or a half of the total, there would be less grounds to look after and they could actually water and landscape them nicely...

A while back in one of the other threads I proposed the idea of the CBE selling part of their land to developers and putting the money into a trust specifically for that school. They could keep the school going, and at the same time make use of portions of land that isn't really being used very...

The scale fits in well with the area.

There are a few schools near me in my innercity-ish NW neighborhood that were at one time contemplated for closure and now they're busy again. One of them is so full they're having a struggle fitting all the kids in. For example Capitol Hill has seen an explosion in the number of children in the...

It's been a pretty nice Sept/Oct/Nov so far. I still have one flower basket that hasn't bit the dust yet, usually all of them would be gone by now or by at least mid October. It's not unusual for Calgary to have weather like it is today at this time of year, but usually by now there would have...

Could be sitting as an empty lot for a while. The land use application is still under review..

I really hope they are planning to build and not leave it an empty lot for 10 years.

The city also uses that lot for people to host festivals from time to time, but it would be nice to see it developed. Especially if they could develop it with some restaurants/patios facing the riverfront. I love the natural feel of the riverfront pathways, but we have a lot of that. It would be...

Not a new hotel or design that we haven't seen before. This is for the conversion of the Canadian Centre at 833 - 4th ave SW into a 226 room hotel. Seeing as the conversion is underway, we might as well get a thread going.

Confirmed this one as well underway.

Where I used to live the city planted new trees along the city owned strip, and I used to water the ones in front of my place, but ultimately it was the city's responsibility, which they didn't do very well, as half the trees died within two years. A couple of years after that they replanted a...

I'll probably take some flack for this, but I'm not sure it makes sense to build a new stadium these days. Even to build a nice compact stadium like they have in Winnipeg or Ottawa would likely cost upwards of $500 million, and to do a retrofit type reno like Hamilton would be probably something...

I'm appreciating the updates O-tac!

At least for the first few years. U/D is a good example, the trees look good there, and I've seen watering trucks tending to the trees several times.

It doesn't appear to be. I can't find any documentation tying it to the program.

With these being interior work, they've flown under the radar.
