Missed opportunity for a massive patio, blocks from the Stampede grounds.

Edit - lol, it's even worse than I suggested. A truck wouldn't even block the whole over-built 4 lane one way road, just the right hand lane.

There is a god:

Edit: from the article...
"the deviations noted by the council included a missing glazed curtain wall that was supposed to give the appearance of a sail, smaller balconies and windows, no roof gardens or children’s play areas and “non-accessible ‘accessible’ apartments that have steps to the balconies so that wheelchair users cannot use their outdoor space”.
There was supposed to be an underground car park, but that wasn’t built, the council said, and instead surface car parking occupied land that had been earmarked for gardens."
London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says council
‘Blight on the landscape’ in Greenwich lacks promised gardens, children’s play areas and accessibility for wheelchair users

You get to choose one building in Calgary to do this to. What do you guys choose?

Darn, I though that meant the ugly London apartments on Macleod.

Has to be West Village podium, otherwise I can think of a few infills that should cause the developer to be fined.

The Bow, for not providing the 27 storey atriums, or more importantly, the cultural building on the south block that included the St. Regis hotel facade.

McMahon was fine back in the day when it was built... Haha I know you're referring to the Hub.

McMahon is quite the eyesore as well. I do feel like once we have a new arena we will have to discuss a massive renovation there. Would love a new stadium, but I don't see that happening unless we get an NFL or MLB team haha.

In my dreams the perfect rebuild would be if the University sold the McMahon lands back to the city and a new indoor stadium was built as part of the new Foothills Fieldhouse (similar to the indoor stadium proposed in CalgaryNEXT)

That and it would be great to have a tower redesign. I love the Bow from certain angles, but it would be nice if the NE angle wasn’t as wide as a mountain.
