No worries, thanks for posting the thread. I didn't know there was a thread for this either, and I just found out today there's a second page of buildings lol.

Word is, this one will be breaking ground next week. New equipment is on site, so that's a good sign. Just the podium for now though, but I'm personally thrilled. This will mean a grocery store and some retaiol for East Village. Two thumbs up.
This is really good news for East Village.

Very much so. Is there even another grocery store North of the train tracks? It occurred to me last night that I had no idea where people who like in places like Le Germaine shop for food. Or their servants shop for food, whatever. 
I hope the tower does eventually go through as well. I like the height on the main tower. I wonder how it made it passed the shading censors. Maybe it's cause it would mostly shade the flyovers.
EDIT: Is there at least a sales centre for the towers?

Sales haven't launched for the towers yet, so no sales centre.

The people living in the Guardian penthouses will need somewhere close to send the butler for Grey Poupon

Happy to hear that the Loblaws is still going in. The folks in East Village will be thrilled I'm sure.

Any idea when the sales centre is supposed to open? I'm thinking that they probably aren't into much of a hurry right at the moment.

The tone of this article suggest to me that it may only be a matter of time on the tower portions as well.

Could be, that would be nice. I like the look of the tower in the newer renderings.

There is a Shoppers also going into it. Those two stores will be big for EV. Also a liquor store......for the Drop-in Centre crowd! j/k

You know, sometimes Calgary feels really small town. Like when the mayor shows up to commemorate the construction of a Loblaws.
