Love to see the added height in Altadore! Lots of apartments in this area, but they're all 3 storeys.

Love those proposals by Eagle Crest, what I would love even more is for Eagle Crest to build one of them or one of their other many proposals.

Yeah ... Eagle Crest must have a dozen or more projects planned around the city. Any of them under construction?

Hey just wondering if anyone had a chance to attend the open house at the U of C for the sneak peak of the design of the new Mathison Hall?

I wish, totally forgot about it. Can't find anything online either.

I was there - it has a similar form (but more modern and permeable materials) than Scurfield Hall. Any questions - ask away...

Another sign that the Calgary condo market is in a deep depression. Condo Living magazine seems to have ceased printing a Calgary edition. I have not heard any formal announcement on this but the last issue I saw was from December.

Condos are struggling in Canada with insurance issues and high special assessments. It’s harder to ignore when condo are also dropping in value, like they are in Alberta. Makes buyers nervous.

New affordable housing project for the Beltline (16th ave and 10th street) held a ground breaking ceremony today. 51 units in total.
Pic from October when the lot was cleared.

Ouuuu I actually love it. It's not a looker or anything, it might even be ugly, not sure though... but regardless, I love seeing non-tower intensification of the Beltline, and affordable makes it a doublewhammy of goodness.

Why wouldn't they go for more floors though? Awfully expensive piece of property in a prime location to leave potential on the table.
Also: is the highlighted yellow the actual building footprint? What would they do with the rest of the parcel?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/jason-kenney-announcement-glenbow-project-1.5471377 Well this is a bit unexpected from Mr. Kennney. The whole east side of downtown is really become a destination, now it just needs a ton of density to support street vibrancy.
