It looks like Spandrel glass to me.

Maybe, but not like shown in the rendering. It doesn’t cost anything to create a rendering with a bunch of high-rise towers, but it costs a lot to actually build it out. Look how long it’s taken for desirable area like University District to get built up. I hate to be the Debbie downer, but if...

People are 100% hesitant. It’s one thing to rent in EV or Beltline, but purchasing is a different story. University District and West District are much safer options from an investment point of view.

Came here to say report the Lynx news, but beaten into it. It’s always sad to see an airline cease operations.

Is that a net gain if 27.4K or incoming only?

Smashed big time.

The damage has been done, now get this built.

This going up quickly!

There is literally zero point in comparing materials used on buildings here in Calgary to materials used in other countries. The economics are different for every country and even between cities here in Canada. We’re in a free market economy, if people want to pay higher prices for better...

The time lines don’t matter really, what matters is that in Vancouver units fetch 2-3 times the price so there’s more room for improved materials.

Unless they build a station at Northland it’s not that close to an LRT station. There’s hope for the development yet, maybe they’ll build better stuff on the south end of the parcel.

This is extra dose of density could put Bridgeland into that next level of destination neighborhood.

Unfortunately, a loss last night but at least they looked like they could skate with the Canucks. If issue this game in the calendar a month ago I would have predicted a blowout by the Canucks.

If I were a multi billionaire I would offer to pay half the costs so I could see Southwest Calgary evolve without Crowchild cutting it in half. With Crowchild is covered, I would turn the previous footprint into a transit, cycling only pathway with the development mixed in. We can dream can’t we 😊

The general discussion thread is a mixed bag. I think it’s as good a place as any for it.

Well, that's disappointing. I know the other building wasn't a looker, but I preferred it to this.

It's nice to see another development moving ahead, but for the love of god, can a developer in this city just once build something an empty lot?!?!

I'm totally down with 17th ave being closed off at times during the summer. Maybe close it off on Sundays and go from there.

Cheers and welcome to the forum! I have a question regarding the slowness of exterior work on many Calgary projects. This isn’t a criticism directed at Everest, only an observation and am wondering what causes the slowness? We’ve assumed it’s a labour or material shortage, but don’t know for...
