    Calgary | Sovereign | 40.54m | 14s | Avi Urban | GEC

    It would be nice to see another high-rise start up, we’re hitting a dry spell.😐

    Calgary | Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    Every city in the world has an undesirable neighbourhood (or several) and the decline is always the same story. They were once nice neighborhoods, but series of different factors started some decline, and once it was in decline, it’s was vicious circle. Whatever the causes were for Victoria...

    Calgary | Quarry Rise South | 50m | 14s | Remington | Arcadis

    It’s disappointing but true. Once the Green line and QP is built it will most likely be the only real TOD. 😕

    Calgary | Village Block | 27m | 6s | Liberty Housing | Metafor

    Those are the usual complaints. It’s as if there’s a manual for CAs to refer to,

    Calgary | Magna | 21m | 6s | Jayman | Integra Architecture

    When you’re spending the kind of money it costs to buy a unit these days, downtown and Beltline is a tougher sell. Especially East Village, you’d have to be crazy to buy a unit there.

    Calgary | Bankview 19-14 | 23m | 6s | Eagle Crest | FAAS Architecture

    Glad to see this going again.

    Calgary | The Camden | ?m | 27s | Westcorp Properties | Abugov Kaspar

    This is the old project from a few years back.

    Calgary | The Forge | 16.5m | 6s | Kanas | Gibbs Gage

    Yes, that’s what I’m talking bout.

    Roads, Highways & Infrastructure

    We can all agree that we need to keep building and improving pedestrian/cycling infrastructure - myself included. Realistically there is only so much we can do in a certain period of time, so we need to choose our battles. IMO the best bet is to focus the resources mostly on the core and inner...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    TBH in my experience the level of opposition doesn’t vary much from inner-city to outer areas. I can tell you that in Renfrew/Mountview area there is strong opposition. Some people are losing their shit over this. Lol. Whereas in Huntington Hills mostly ambivalent. Nobody seems to care at all...

    Calgary | The Broward | 19m | 6s | Truman | MoDA

    I feel confident Truman will at least go ahead with building this. Still sad to see the old apartment building torn down.

    Calgary | Hudson Condos | 20m | 5s | Sarina Homes | Casola Koppe

    I don’t see any issues with balconies or black trim. My only gripe is the siding and even a minor gripe at that. I’m happy with the way it turned out, it’s better than 90% of the 5/1s out there.

    Calgary: Cars vs Pedestrians, Cyclists and Transit

    Not to be too nitpicky, but those three cities are growing rather slowly considering their size. They’re barely growing faster than Calgary in raw numbers but are 10 times the size. Many of the cities you listed as the most driveable cities are actually much faster growing. I don’t know if...

    Calgary | Oliver | 121.3m | 35s | Centron | Gibbs Gage

    No idea when the second tower will be done but adding those 800 odd units along 10th ave will be a great boost to the core.

    Carbon Tax: good or bad?

    Here’s a question I’ll throw out there. What is the point of having a carbon tax, if 90% is going back as rebates to people who have lower incomes? I mean, isn’t that only a regular tax at this point? I’d much rather see a smaller carbon tax that goes 100% to promoting alternative energy sources.

    Calgary | The Hive | 27m | 9s | Jemm Properties | LOLA

    Check some of the older photos, there may be some showing the foundation pours, etc..

    Calgary | The Broward | 19m | 6s | Truman | MoDA

    With this being sold out and the homes on 15th coming down, it’s probably a go!

    PDI banners. Are those the public notices for developments?

    Forum Issues

    I’ve been finding the site as flaky all week, but this morning it’s painfully slow to the point that looks like the site has crashed or something.
