The height was similar to the old one, there wasn’t much difference.No beige? they must have hired a new architect or two.
What's the height of this compared to the old building? Still laughing that the CA is opposing it based on height...
The opposition for this one was stupid. There was already an 11 floor building there for years, and the new one is only 9 floors. I don’t know what the height difference is but it can’t be much.No beige? they must have hired a new architect or two.

Not really a fan of the pattern on the sides of the building as it reminds me of that cheap looking high-rise apartment reclad downtown. I do like that it looks like it has a 2 story streetwall before it steps back. I think Calgary could use a few more 5-6 story streetwalls in its mainstreet building designs but I'll settle for anything that's more than 1.
The pattern on the side of the building is just so there isn't a big blank wall. They likely can't put windows since they are right on the property line, and the parkade ramp of the building next door means this will be visible.
Super skinny and tall NYC infill here in the future!The Beehive lot is so small that if anything new ever gets built there it wouldn't be much more than a few storeys so much of it won't be obscured.
