    Amazing how blue hour lighting can turn the building from copper to blue.

    Someone also mentioned Sovereign would be starting soon.

    Calgary | Teck Place Conversion | 44m | 10s | Cidex Group | NORR

    It’s looking good, I’m happy with it.

    Calgary | 1900 Marda Loop | 23m | 6s | Sarina Homes

    Marda Loop is going to be kick ass once this is done, and all the road construction work is completed.

    Calgary | Harmony One | 20m | 6s | Gravity Architecture

    There isn’t a good spot to stop and take the picture from that angle, where is the other side has a parking lot adjacent.

    This is a cool looking building.

    Calgary | 17th and 4th | 164m | 46s | Vesta | Zeidler

    I’m excited to see something get built on that empty lot, if there is a tall tower, I too hope it’s on the north east corner. The corner facing 17th Ave. and fourth Street would be great for like a six story podium with a mix of retail and some apartments.

    Statscan numbers

    Holy cow, 85K for Airdrie. It won't be long before it's over 100K.

    Calgary | The Hive | 27m | 9s | Jemm Properties | LOLA

    It would be more expensive to make panels and coordinate installation of panels with the mural printed on them.

    Calgary | Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    Fair enough, but what else could be changed for the same cost? We’re basically talking about changing the color of the panels. I’d personally prefer white or cream over the gray or add accent colors but it’s not really a big improvement. Not a big enough improvement to please the critics.

    Calgary | Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    If this was on a main retail corridor then yes, I’d push for better, but sometimes we need to pick our battles. The previous use of land was a waste of inner city space. A patch of grass with 2 trees, and now it’s 65 units with retail in a parcel butted up against an in-ramp. It’s it’s highly...

    Dang. I saw this thread and thought it was a new proposal only find out it's an old proposal that's not going ahead :(

    Trees in Calgary

    The soil is actually a bit worse on the east side of the city. Years back my science teacher who was also a horticulturalist mentioned that the soils west of the Bow and Elbow were generally better. Can’t remember the exact reason for it, but might have been due to soil slowly moving east but...

    Alberta Pension Plan

    I don’t necessarily have a problem with the idea. Quebec had their own and people their seem fine with it. What Alberta can pull out of the current CPP is a different matter. Even if Alberta gets their rightful share which is less than what Smith thinks it is, it still might be doable...

    Calgary | BTYYC | 24m | 6s | Eagle Crest | Davignon Martin

    I drive past there yesterday and there was lots of machinery in action. Looked like a big concrete pour was happening.

    General Construction Updates

    West village is a good location for people living in the towers, it’s handy to a lot of things, but it sucks for retail, 9th Avenue is a waste land.

    Calgary | Hudson Condos | 20m | 5s | Sarina Homes | Casola Koppe

    Finally some good progress.

    Calgary | Argyle | 22m | 6s | Avi Urban | Gibbs Gage

    That is probably the case, so it’s good they made the roads wide because they will eventually need to retrofit a cycle lane. I can see a lot of people cycling between University, District and the University. Not just people from University District, but people from the neighbourhoods across...

    General Construction Updates

    The white spots that were sit down restos with wait staff sold burgers with the Triple O sauce 👍 they were like the fast food triple O burgers, but a bit bigger.
