Kind of late to the party on this. I totally agree. There is a certain segment of the drug addict population that can be fixed or helped in certain ways and it would be nice to do whatever we can. There are other segments of the population that are very difficult to help, for example, a large...

The articles are what they are, they’re meant to capture readers, but this is good news no matter which way you look at it. There’s no way to break out exactly how much economic benefit comes to Calgary but one thing for sure is there will be an economic benefit of some kind. It’s the same with...

Fair point. After seeing Courtyard 33 as a finished product I was skeptical Inglewood Block and Arc33 would end up looking like the renderings. They had an ‘ASI’ feel to them.

That not exactly true. From what I’ve seen RNDSQR has always had a real intention of building their projects - yes the designs haven’t always turned out like the rendering - mainly Courtyard33. Sometimes that happens when you try and think outside of the box. Other projects like General Block...

Great looking building. The level of craftmanship on the exterior side is really tight, and the material is a notch above the usual. Kudos.

I was going to stop in for a look but couldn’t make it. I’m guessing it’ll be open for stuff during the Stapmede?

What he said.

It’s too bad these look similar to the already built Dominion towers, but I won’t complain. They still look awesome.

That would be my guess too. I think Calgary will be around 50% in Edmonton around 35%, with 15% for the rest of the province. It’s possible we could see Calgary grow by more than 100,000 in one year that would be unbelievable.

Not the most marvellous dessign I’ve ever seen, but this is a big win for that area and for that intersection.

Total sadness. I imagine road would’ve been designed that way probably 100 or more years ago. Nobody back than ever dreamed Calgary would be pushing 2 million people, and they would need to plan things.

It’s to see a decent sized building going up in that area. Hopefully we’ll see a few more of these along Kensington Road.

When it comes to normal, the normal for Calgary is at the weather can be anything at any time lol. I grew up in Southeastern Ontario, and when I first moved here, I couldn’t decide if the winters were warmer or colder. Some days the winters would seem so much warmer, with above freezing...

The placement of the materials and colours is awkward, but I’ll take it. It’s a good fit for the area and a good density boost.

I had no idea we had solar farms that large in the city.

Outside of Europe or NA then, what is the global standard that this should be? Don't mention curtain wall, because that's happening, the economics don't make sense. It doesn't leave too many other options.

I stand corrected on Southbank, as I don't know the history of who was behind it, and if the people behind it had Inglewood's interests then that's great, all the power to them. I disagree with the notion that Avli's design is due to a REIT who doesn't care about Inglewood, that's more what mu...

I prefer Avli myself, even though Southbank turned out very well. It's a personal choice based on Avli being more unique, which in many ways lends itself better to Inglewood. Southbank is very solid, but also quite conservative.

It's the other way around. South Block is owned by Opus, and the Avli project is partly owned by the original long time owners of the land, which iirc was a auto repair place. The people who owned the Avli land wanted to build something interesting for Inglewood. That said, Avli might be owned...

Blue line to Redstone isn't a priority for me unless there's a spur to the airport. It needs to be done someday, but I'd rather see money go to the Green line or to improve existing stations and sections, focusing on better TOD infrastructure etc..
