Apparently, it’s the data centre hub of Alberta at least, as the article mentions 12 data centres in Calgary and 9 in Edmonton.

I’m too lazy to do the numbers but I bet Calgary is tops in terms of housing starts/per capita for the big 6 metros.

^I agree. It’s great if we get the tower portion to look nice but my hope is was at the street level is done well, and they did a good job on it with this building. Another example that comes to mind is Irving in Inglewood. It was the whipping boy of the forum for a couple of years, but every...

I hope they have a rooftop deck on this building, that mash isn’t great for the views of people living inside the building. I will say that the mesh does add an interesting factor to the building.

According to the database it’s 202. To me that seems kind of low, considering it’s 2 x 15 storey towers.

One of the reasons the U/D ones are going up so quickly is because it’s a greenfield site, even though it’s not traditional greenfield. Also demand is strong for that location.

Nice to see those trees on top on Concord are still going.

IMO it's kind of a tie between this and August as to which one is the best so far in U/D, but this one certainly has turned out great.

I'm really enjoying the updates for U/D. It's cool to see a master plan like this come to fruition, and over such a short time.

Cool that this is only halfway up, still more tower to go.

I got a YouTube video with a song I can’t get out of my head 😵

Get it done!

Seeing as it's Sarina building it I'm hopeful it will be built at a good pace like their other projects.

For sure some of it is related to classism. Every corner of the world has classism and it’s been around since the dawn of time. There will always be efforts to get away from it, but it will never go away completely, it’s not the way humans are built. This’ll ruffle some feathers I’m sure, but I...

Good point. People from Edmonton or Winnipeg can hate on Calgary or WestJet for creating the current situation, but it’s no different for people in Ottawa or QC with AC routing all their traffic through Montreal. If Westjet wasn’t routing 8 flights a day of traffic from Winnipeg through Calgary...

Hopefully you’re not like some of the SSP Edmonton forumers who are purposely avoiding YYC even if it means more money or an inferior schedule lol. With YYC handling 18 million passengers a year, they aren’t going to notice the absence of a half dozen disgruntled forumers. You can avoid YYC if...

Some smaller projects not mentioned are Palfreville apartments (20 units) home space in 14th street (27 units) and the one immediately west of the Hillhurst United Church.

Great to see plenty of units still u/c. It feels like there is a definitive shift from high rise concrete towers to smaller 5/1 style builds. There are only two high rise builds at or below grade (fourth Street lofts, and First and Park), and both of those are a ways along, there are no new...

What I mean by necessary is, the developer is asking for up to 36 stories, so i’m assuming they must think it’s necessary for this development. My concern isn’t with shadowing, only that it’s a large development for a small area that has two ingress points/one egress point. It has BRT, but I’d...

I don’t agree with the residents with respect to the parkland. The area they are referring to isn’t used much by anyone as parkland. I’m okay with the city developing it. I kind of agree with the residents about the height and number of buildings. Are towers 36 stories high really necessary for...
