Where would you ever find the space for more pedestrian refuge to shorten crossing distances at Glenmore and Macleod? Everyone needs a nearly 8m wide turning lane, 💩. Are mobility engineers even doing there job if they aren't making pedestrians have to defy death by crossing an intersection...

Wish this went recessed balconies and residential when it switched owners

I honestly think the airport connector is easy if you use mostly existing road ROWs. Extend from Saddletowne Station north along 60St NE (on the westside of the street). Then run on the southside of Airport Trail. Run the two trains on the two southern most lanes through the Airport Tunnel...

Anyone know what the exterior materials are? Stucco or Hardie Panel and reveals?

Few things. how do you do street-oriented commercial and multi-residential units with these big-ass streets that surround the site? I assume you orient active uses internally? A consistent problem of mobility overclassifying streets and designs that place automobility first and everything else...

Only got one. smaller tower ✅ somehow built yet another surface parking lot downtown 🤨 basically just rearranged the surface parking from the previous configuration.

You're absolutely correct, I don't want to see another York Hotel issue. I think the City needs to also consider what is happening with the St Regis Hotel. It has been sitting and degrading since the construction of the Bow Tower when it was used as site offices. I fear the building owner will...

Do spill the cream IceCreamMan. 💅

Really need Bosa to get going on some of the mixed-use buildings in the central area. With the next round of multi-family developments getting occupied they have sufficient rooftops to support the retail soon. Also the offices to the SE have decent occupancy that could support some daytime...

Must be something for the commemoration of this building:

I really wish we had some Urban Design Guidelines that builders needed to adhere to, especially on larger projects. I mean even just for the podium or first 2-3 storeys. Something along the lines of the Toronto Tall Building Design Guidelines or there Low-Rise Infill Guidelines. As it sits...

I really like this! Hindle does a good job

I honestly wish they just looked at doing elevated train through the Downtown, Beltline and Eau Claire. All that mattered is that it was grade separated and kept the noise down for existing and future residents. Even stations that tie into the Plus-15 network make a lot of sense in the Calgary...

Well deserved this building rules.

Nice i'm familiar with Vesta. Hoping this goes sooner rather than later, they were cranking out developments in Langley when I was living out there.

Did this site sell to someone else or does Grosvenor still own this? I just don't even get excited at Land Use Redesignations for towers or mid-rise anymore because they end up getting built so infrequently. Doesn't seem Grosvenor has interest in building residential here or in Calgary in...

Looks the same to me from that one image. That's too bad, they did engagement and the feedback seemed to really favour much more space for pedestrians and cyclists, but mobility engineers can't help themselves but focus on auto throughput over everything else.

What is the finalized design they are working to on the bridge? I don't believe i've seen it. It needs way more room for ped's and cyclists.

The gift that keeps on giving. Jacketsniffer this isn’t a real proposal.

RNDSQR has done a commendable job on the projects they have executed on. Larger projects are challenging to finance and it is very hard to transition from smaller projects to much larger ones without a significant influx in investors with cash contributions to get the projects off the ground...
