Agree. It's 100% better. We just need to get that restaurant and patio going in time for summer.

They really need to get on the Stephen Ave. renovation ASAP. That patchwork sidewalk is gross.

This during summer patio season is going to be a game changer, let's hope the ground floor restaurant/bar is a good one.

I will be very surprised if this opens this year. Still so much uncertainty about the pandemic and some form of restrictions likely to be around for the rest of the year. That is a big space and a lot of investment required to do it right by someone with deep pockets and a lot of patience.

I like how bright that corner is with the new lighting. It used to be such a dull dingy area at night.

Definitely! I've noticed that most new developments in the Downtown / Beltline really stepped up the lighting at the ground level, makes it so much more welcoming at night!

I'm just so confused as to why there's just a big vertical grey wall? An electronic screen would make this an instant banger but even a mural would do wonders right now. Currently, it's giving off a corporate vibe on a prominent Mainstreet.

Totally, would be miles better with a BUMP project on it or LED installation. Calgary clearly doesn’t have any policy discouraging blank walls and surfaces they are endless

That picture just screams it's BEGGING for one.

Judging by the giant louver on the east side of that wall I'm going to guess it's full of mechanical equipment, thus the solid cladding.

Not much change lately on the interior, but I'm curious to know if maybe "Major Tom" is the name of the proposed restaurant?

 

[potatopizzafan]

The elevator needs to play “Ground control to Major Tom” when you push that floor button.
