I think the 4 would be including that existing one

Wow, that looks great! So does this mean the original 36 storey tower DP has been redesigned to now be one of the two towers shown in the renders? Or are the two towers, the 36 storey tower and the 11 storey residential conversion the 4 towers?

Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see this happen. Would really help to change the feel for this area!

In that DP post on the previous page, it appears that one of the redesigned towers is for sure on the site of the tower originally posted here. So yeah, fingers crossed it was a full redesign and not just a tease of what could be.

Judging by the fact we see the existing tower in SE corner in the render for this one, I assume the four includes the conversion.

Looks fantastic! hope it actually looks like that! With this and the tower on 4th & 17th, Calgary seems to have turned a corner design wise...

I don't even care about the tower portion...if that street level with the brick and curved corner details turns out half as good as in the renderings, this will be a win.

So... If we subtract the GGA Tower + Conversion units from the total
1475 - (315 + 153) = 1007
1007 Units left over for two towers...
That's two 190m buildings!

Is it confirmed now that the new renders are, indeed, what is proposed here?
This is only a guess on my part, but I suspect the tower shown in the original is also the tower shown in the recent rendering, but they've added two more to the mix, and including the conversion building and they now have a total of 4 buildings.
100ish units for the conversion and say 400ish for the first building, would still leave almost 1k for the other two towers. Definitely some height happening here.

Cool podium.
The tower behind Ristorante is on the podium of the 36 storey GG tower so this is either old or new version.

yah something is amiss...first image shows the entire plaza and how the new podium will merge with the original proposed tower?? Whereas the second image shows the new tower podium in the foreground but not the background. Unclear to me why you wouldn't have a more cohesive design between the 2 towers
