At least the yellow on this one is subtle, I don't mind it tbh. There could've been worse colours other than black and yellow that they could've gone with.

Whispers: I like it too, just can't believe we keep getting yellow squares.

Darn, I was really liking it before the yellow.
I like the yellow. I would have been happy with white or light gray, but I don't mind the yellow against the charcoal.

The bright coloured frames makes the office tower. The charcoal brick lacks details.

The yellow is subtle enough the it doesn’t really bother me.

Some pics from Tuesday, before the snow fell.
Residential tower:
Medical office: Most of the brick has been installed except where the external construction elevator was (which has been removed)
Pedestrian bridge: The hole that was dug by the BRT stop has now been filled. According to this: https://www.calgary.ca/planning/projects/stadium-pedestrian-bridge.html this was for deep utility work in preparation for construction.

I like the yellow accents. I much prefer yellow being used in architecture over the red we often see.

Yellow fades to yellow, red fades to pink.

I really like this. Huge boost for the area and a million times better than the old strip mall. They should somehow squeeze a couple restaurants in this new complex when it's all said and done.

Agreed, it's a massive improvement.
I am most interested in the final program to come together with all the phases - the scale and setbacks in the area around 16th Ave and the hospital create a weirdness to this development - everything is big, but it's not dense feeling at all - the gaps and distances are just so huge between buildings and along all roads, and with all the random greenspace scattered about the various complexes here.
This should improve somewhat when the next phases come online and the whole complex has a bit of a focus point and fewer long/wide view corridors that give off this big, but empty impression.
Or even better - up zone all University Heights to Beltline densities and just let this cluster merge into all the others around here to create a true second "downtown" in 20 or 30 years.

I really like the brick and the deeper coloured window reveals. Does anyone know a good local supplier for these types of window reveals? I'd like to price them out.

Some pics from last Friday:
Residential tower: The external construction elevator has been removed.
Medical office:
Pedestrian bridge: Roadsides on both sides of 16th Ave have been fenced off and construction equipment has been brought in.
