I like it! I'm also not as bearish about others about additional development happening. There is the hotel to the West, but I could see another one or two hotels getting going, as proximity to the expanded BMO likely makes sense for more rooms. I've also heard that there could be some...

I don't hate it, but don't love it. It should be pretty burried in the skyline. The murals at street level probably make things more interesting there. This also feels a little closer to the actual core (aside from Paliser), as other conversions are more West End and Eau Claire. We all want...

Yes, it's a bit busy, but I don't hate the way that it's busy. This looks pretty wide and I feel like a completely uniform facade might just deliver another Metropolitan.

This is probably a long shot, as I doubt it would work structurally, but it looks like Brooks Brothers is done. That could be a great spot and could have a pretty awesome digital marquee on the curved glass corner of the building. The Cineplex VIP at University District is 22 500 Sq feet and has...

While this seems like a very long term project, I could see it being expedited somewhat. Things can turn really quickly in this city, but as of now we are growing by 50k+ per year and likely more like 75k. The growth projections from a few years ago are being met well ahead of schedule.

I have to agree that North of Glenmore to about 58th would be prime for a major redevelopment. I think there is likely a bunch of different landowners there and that would make getting a cohesive plan difficult. I don't think getting people to live there would be an issue. Ground level train...

I haven't heard any rumors, but what is the likelihood that a new first run movie theater gets built downtown? I thought about this, as Eau Claire is done. DT and Beltline will likely hit 60K population soon, so it could be supported. Add in Bridgeland and Kensington (close to train) as a...

I would imagine that at this point Strategic is looking to get rid of the project, likely at a massive loss. At this point in the project, the issues are likely known and I could see a sale with a very small price to someone that has the resources to take over. Basically "we have sunk $x million...

I could see something in the 30k capacity area making sense. Personally, I would do something just north of the Franklin Station. A design like McMahon could work with the 1 end being very open and placed correctly would offer a great skyline view (though may be bad for wind). If engineered...

Interesting, there was an equity crowdfunding done on this project. Perhaps it was done for a cash infusion to cover carrying costs. I guess the investors may get paid out earlier than expected. https://addyinvest.ca/properties/isaac/

Reading through the comments, a couple of them caught my eye. The idea of having strong density, but not taller than say 10 floors like many cities in Europe sounds great. I think the problem may be that since those places were built, we have figured out how to build higher and have cars. Low...

Great addition! I live a couple of blocks away and this is something that the area needs. I'm sure many people around here may visit on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and see a fairly busy area, but stop by on a Wednesday afternoon and it's pretty dead. The extra daytime traffic will help the...

I actually think that the downturn since 2014 will end up being a positive for the city. We are likely seeing more infill development in areas like Bridge land, Kensington, inglewood and Marda Loop. Developers are comfortable that they can sell 90 units in these neighborhoods, but not 250 in...

Those resorts would have been awesome. Imagine having resorts similar to Kicking Horse and Revelstoke closer to Calgary in addition to what we have. Put those here and I almost guarantee that we see more direct flights from Asia and Europe....sure most will just get on the highway to the...

Yes, I live in West Hillhurst and even in my SFH area, we are seeing 4 townhouses on corner lots, the potential CBC redevelopment and of course things happening on 19 Street....hopefully we can see more of those tiny old war-time homes on 19th turn into 4 to 8 level buildings along with the...

This is exciting! With 6000 units under construction in inner-city areas, that is probably 9000 residents. It doesn't take a lot of years at this pace to see our inner-city communities become much more interesting in terms of density. Just thinking about an extra 30 000 people from Mission...

Any chance those white squares will be illuminated?

A few have made comments about just the office part being built (assuming they have a tenant), but I think at least the rental apartments could be built, as it seems like developers just keep moving ahead with purpose built rental. The Condo may be a different story, but I could see that moving...

Hopefully we have reached bottom on vacancies and are going to start climbing out. There also seems to be a slight movement towards more residential in the DT, not game changing, but it helps. Reading through this thread, I have to agree with the idea of putting a focus on streets/avenues with...
