In Calgary, The Hat @ East Village is apparently turning out to look terrible. I hope the same wont be said about this.

I believe they just finished pouring the roof of the podium; it's all tower from here.

I wonder if they are going to do a stained rock facade on the tunnel surrounds for the LRT portals?... 'twould be a cool touch!

The Hat starting to make more of a presence from the East side

I give this one a ** rating -- it is useful in the sense of adding a little bit of impetus to the Quarters "dreams"and the build-out of the east end of downtown. It fails in terms of cookie-cutter, out-of-the-box design; it wins from the "brownfield" re-development of an abandoned hole-in-the-ground by another developer. This is one of those "good-enough-for-Edmonton" efforts.

Cidex has been getting the "cookie cutter" label regarding their HAT project(s) in Calgary as well.
I hope they put more effort in their next projects; in Old Strathcona \ Quarters \ Warehouse district\ other?
