Such a nice tower that someone crashed a truck into the Co-op last week checking it out! Almost too bad there isn't a second tower in this development!

I'm still trying to figure out how that crash happened. It's in the middle of the block, on a street that is usually fairly busy so not really conducive to fast speeds, and the van was perpendicular to the Coop.
Drugs? Gotta be drugs.

The stolen van was going eastbound on 10 Ave at a high rate of speed and turned right at the corner sharply on 11 St. The driver lost control on 11 St and swerved into the back of the store. It was miraculous that there were no cars in the northbound lane or pedestrians on the sidewalk at that moment the vehicle crossed over.

Cool, thanks for the insight.
And yeah, really glad that nobody else was hit. It's a street that I've been biking down pretty regularly, so definitely a bit disconcerting.

disappointed with the empty cru situation. shouldnt be as desperate as west village twrs.

It might be a while, but, the CRUs in 11th and 11th will have a better chance of filling up than the ones in Nuera or at West Village Towers.
I think so too. Even though 11th is a one way avenue, it's a much better retail street than 9th ave or 1st St SE.

I agree, it's talking sometime to get some retail down there. From personal experience from walking to the coop liquor store, 11th avenue isn't that nice from a pedestrian perspective as cars are ripping it by you. This one way street is definitely better than 9th ave & 1st @Surrealplaces

Construction is completed, but I can’t resist taking photos of this building.

Vancouver developers sure know what quality condo/apartment towers look like. IMO, Calgary's best-looking residential towers come from Metro Vancouver developers like Bosa, Intergulf, Bucci, etc. I wish we got more developments from them and fewer from developers like Cidex.

The Vancouver developer influence has definitely been positive for Calgary. We are still a few steps below Vancouver in terms of design quality and execution (and probably always will be due to money/climate/expectations), but they have definitely helped raise the standard.
