    Calgary | The Royal | 114.9m | 34s | Embassy Bosa | Abugov Kaspar

    I also don’t think it will. It’s too exposed. Also, the Royal and the people who paid high amounts of money to be there, won’t put up with that crap right next to the building. They would be made uncomfortable enough to pick a quieter spot.

    The Greater Downtown Plan

    I love high floors. But I have a general rule to not live higher than I can easily climb. Because elevators are fickle beasts. I’m starting to feel it after 10 floors.

    Any word or timeline on the third tower?

    Calgary | BLVD Beltline | 118.87m | 37s | ONE Properties | Arquitectonica

    It’s a huge barrier to wanting to live in the area. Hostile busy street with few actual useful businesses within an easy walk.

    Now City is saying piss ramp won’t be torn down until Spring. I seriously want the grade level crossing and it gone. It’s usually full of junkies completely whacked out or actively smoking up/shooting up and I’m tired of running the gauntlet to get to the C-Train.

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    I’m not sure when those particular store closed but I will say that the 17Ave strip is suffering heavy casualties. It seems every few days another business says permanently closed.

    Calgary | Redstone | 43.89m | 14s | Amble Ventures | NORR

    As much as I think the pixel look is overdone, at least they have built it like the rendering. Which it seems most don’t these days.

    Meh. After a certain age you no longer tend to care who sees you. He is 80. Will likely strut around in a bathrobe maybe or nothing at all.

    US Politics

    Violence might be tempered by this long delay. More time for people to accept the outcome. Biden has been the voice of calm and reason, but Trump’s accusations and words encourage people to react strongly and some of his supporters are fairly radical. It only takes one nut bar to decide taking...

    Calgary | 11th + 11th | 138.07m | 44s | Intergulf | Ramsay Worden

    It’s not at the base of the crane. That pic just shows the very top of the fire. It was much larger down lower from the crane base.

    That doesn’t look good.

    I booked in to go before it closes. Thank you for the free ticket booking link. Looking forward to seeing it.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I am soooooooooo looking forwards to the piss ramp being tore down and I can cross and enter at grade. So sick of running the gauntlet of people shooting up, smoking up, passed out or camped out going up and down that structure. Never mind dodging garbage and bodily functions. Bring it on!

    Calgary Retail Thread

    That looks like a nice selection and variety of small stores. No major cookie cutter franchises. Nice.

    Calgary Transit

    I’m pretty sure it’s because the ends match up with the new crosswalks planned at 14 ave and south of 15 Ave. It should lower the temptation for jaywalking across Macleod since you’d have to walk to an end anyways.

    Calgary | TELUS Sky | 222.19m | 60s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    I have pretty much the best view in the city of it and the tower, but my photos never do it justice. At all.

    It’s currently dancing through multiple patterns. Flowing like a rainbow river.

    Calgary | Annex | 29.87m | 9s | Minto Group | Nyhoff Architecture

    This layout for 350 ish square foot is much more livable than a super narrow 350 ish at say Park Central. The windows and balcony make a huge difference and the shape is much more usable and open.

    Calgary | Park Central | 134m | 39s | Hines | S.C.B.

    I like that with each balcony having just one solid side, it effectively makes your balcony private. I think the building looks great. But they definitely made a disaster of the inside. Maybe they will rethink for the second tower.

    Calgary | The Hub | ?m | 28s | Campus Suites | ARK Inc.

    It’s definitely not group think. The Hub gets posted repeatedly on Reddit as OMG what IS this monstrosity I am seeing. People form an opinion all by themselves.
