My biggest gripe is when shitty designs are justified due to 'budgetary constraints' when something far more elegant or interesting wouldn't cost more. If anything the 00's movie theatre looking drop panel ceiling 'clouds' cost more than a simple flat ceiling. As I had also mentioned, they could...

They're excavating the SW corner beside the PBS Systems office at 130th ave. Looks like a possible parkade expansion but I remember a user saying there were plans for a new building a while back. They've added more road infrastructure including a second traffic circle behind the Canadian Tire...

Chinook is already swarming with homeless. They've even closed the Circle K across from the lrt station.

I've never seen a building look so dirty and old before construction completion. Is the EIFS that terrible and cheap that it sucks up all of the construction dust? Hopefully they power wash the whole building before tenants move in.

Does each balcony have LED strips? That doesn't look like a simple reflection.

And the rest is like a dusty tombstone.

This is probably the nicest conversion so far. No complaints whatsoever.

The grand opening should be a funeral.

Count me in as being reminded of a 00's movie theatre lobby but minus any of the actual character elements. The drop ceiling 'clouds' look really dated. The rest just feels like an office lobby. Edit: Does anyone know what they are doing with the giant goalie mask on the north side entrance of...

They took something dumpy and actually made it look good by working with and enhancing its' original form. Impressive.

Doesn’t help the design unfortunately

So the Flames cancelled the old agreement because Gondek wanted to add solar panels, but the new arena has solar panels on the roof? Also, was excited at the first hint of a glowing logo on the roof in the animation as I thought it would be the Flames logo, but nope. A fucking bank logo! How...

I watched this office building go up in a similar manner...

Does Matco actually build anything? Or do they just hoard land?

God help us if they acquire the Bay building DT.

The sign helps soften that street.

I hope this development helps with the problems in that area. Every time I've been to Chinook Centre recently I have encountered some sketchy group or individuals. It's gotten so bad that the family bathrooms in the foodcourt were locked one time. I noticed a large gathering under the stairs of...

They look messier in every new rendering. Very busy and cluttered and hard to decipher a visual pattern to the balconies. Podium still looks nice though.

It looks gritty and decrepit and hasn't even finished construction. That EIFS paneling is horrid!

Thoughts on what will happen if the UCP uses the minority redistricting report to blatantly gerrymander every riding in Calgary outside the core to include rural voters from 50 kms away? On top of our insane property tax hike! If this city doesn't revolt against Marlaina after that then we're in...
