I'm talking directly on 17th, right in the action, which is more convenient for tourists.

- Start date

Well looks like we got some good news. ASI wants to move forward with the project soon. They're aiming for a 2021 completion date so I would assume they'd begin sometime later this year or very early next year. Hopefully this one gets finished from start to end.

I hate to be a downer but it's easy for a developer to proclaim that they are planning to go ahead with a project and throw out some dates. I'm not saying it won't happen,. and I would love to see this get built, but I'm skeptical. I want to see the Windsor get completed first. ASI can still pull this off, but they have so many projects on the go. They need to pare down and focus on the ones they've started.

No development permit has been applied for as of yet. Anticipate that to take at least 6 months (more likely 8-10), so they are a ways off of construction yet.

I stayed at the Varscona Hotel on Whyte Ave when I went up to Edmonton last summer and having that unimpeded access to a bunch of great bars and restaurants as a total newcomer to the city was awesome. Took all the work out of navigating and searching for a good place to eat/drink. I think this would be great for 17th.

This would be a fantastic addition. Just wish it wasn't Arlington at the helm.
If the franchise isn't chosen, this can be a serious vetting process that can take 12 months +. Boutique brand makes sense, I really like Kimpton as well. However, all the big brands have boutique labels now and allow for flexibility in design and have larger loyalty programs, which helps from an occupancy point of view.

Will be too bad to lose some of the quirky buildings on this corner, but the rendering looks pretty nice!

ASI have not had the greatest track record so far, would hate for them to tear down the houses there only to leave the site vacant.

DP calls for dwelling units not hotel so I expect some changes.

Would ASI proceed with the Fisherman site before Royal Park?

They did the Windsor and their own corporate HQ at the same time, so it's possible. I think the 5th was the only one at the time, but I could be wrong.

Kinda sad about those houses tho. I wish they could put them else where if possible lol.

I really wanted this to be a hotel. It's unfortunate that 17th ave still doesn't have a hotel, considering it's one of Calgary's most prominent street.This location would've been perfect for it.
