The Podium at Aiss'ka'pooma: Saw some tenants enjoying the evening on their balconies at the first completed building (pic #4) at the southwest corner of the site. First floor walls going up on new buildings at east side of the site.

This is going at a very impressive pace, even faster than University District.
 
The Podium at Aiss'ka'pooma: The retail street looks complete, but unoccupied (There is a sign for a coffee shop coming in 2025 (Fenyk)).

Skyway at Medicine Hill phase 1: The road is being dug up just past the phase 1 buildings -- utility work for phase 2?

Density here is the win, but I cannot believe the architectural quality... This should've looked like a strip on Canmore in Calgary. It will never not bug me.
I don't disagree, but many of those buildings in Canmore are designed and priced for the 5%ers....these need financially appeal to a much larger demo, and as well all know, that has a direct impact on finishings

5%ers? A one bedroom in Canmore is more than a SFH in Calgary these days lol

Fine, fair point. Canmore is maybe too much of a reach. But I stand by the fact that the architectural quality in Trinity Hills is below average, give me University District, instead we got another suburban density add with the arterial road and strip mall shopping to go along with it.

The mountains do a lot of heavy lifting in Canmore. Street level at that Podium building actually isn't far off what they do in Canmore - slap some stone and wood wherever they can. Canmore seems to top out at 4 stories, so peaked roofs and exposed beams are more impactful. I agree they could go a little further on materials, but I'm just not sure you'll get that vibe from that size.

I'd say there was more potential for mountain vibes at the row houses and shopping complexes (particularly the one to the west). I think the MEC was going to look good, but everything else was plucked straight from Deerfoot Meadows. I think it's the flat roofs that make it feel like big box land. Would it be much more expensive to incorporate some subtle angles? I think the Kodiak Country refresh actually works really well:

I really love how this is coming along i just wish it was better connected to transit. The full build out is supposed to be like 3000 units though so hopefully that by itself can push something.
 
Drove up through this development on the weekend and it didn't feel like we were in Calgary. Felt like something in Victoria, I guess because there is some bounding in the geography that you don't always get in Calgary. Very cool vibe, but I would be concerned about road noise being that close to a highway in a wood framed building. But the only wood framed condo I've lived in was built in the 70s - I'm sure they're improved these days?
