When buildings have cheap paneling materials it doesn't look good all one color. Although the random rectangles don't really look better. The only real solution is better materials. I've noticed in Toronto they generally use better materials, is it because they are for purchase rather than rental?

You could also add a Fintech industry that has sprung up rapidly in recent years.

Seeing as we're on a Calgary boosterism roll, here are some links to articles relating to Calgary's tech industry mostly from 2023-2024, and doesn't include any recent related news, but gives you man idea of how much activity there is in the industry in one year...

It might have been this post. I'll copy and paste the numbers here for sake of ease. Calgary had the highest growth percentage wise among the major metros. Calgary is still a ways behind the the big 3 and Ottawa in raw numbers, but has easily taken over the title of tech hub for the prairies...

And one more Glenbow Museum item. A time lapse of the tower crane coming down.

IIRC, the consensus was if the crane was mounted in concrete it would be considered part of the crane count, even though this functions much the same as a standard tower crane.

I was thinking $45 Million, but could also be $25 Million. Definitely not more than $45M.

I'm thinking after Christmas might be the easiest, just due to the timing. It would be nice to catch up. It's been a while. Also would be nice to meet some new members.

I would be into that 👍

That was quick!

Instead of repealing the blanket zone bylaw, we need to repeal Calgary's bylaw of having to add random rectangles to every design.

There have been a couple maybe 2-3 SRC meetups, but the last one I think was probably like 6 years ago. We had one at Brown's social house on 16th ave, and there was one at Bottlescrew Bill's. There was also an early one at Last Best, way back probably 2017 maybe?

I'll miss the mature trees, but will be looking forward to the sidewalk wrapping around the crescent. Not sure what kind of retail will go in, but it would be a great spot for a pub or cafe with a patio.

Great location for something like this.

Great location for something like this.

Unfortunately just a concept for now. I think something will be developed on that parcel, but whether is something like this who knows. We're hoping the rumoured Allies and Morrison project is for that location.

Thanks Kora. It'll be interesting to see how the trends go. It's hard to get a good idea of a 25 year prediction from an 8 month trend. As well a lot of Calgary's growth has been strong inter-provincial numbers and a strong (relative to the other metros) natural increase. How immigration numbers...

Are recent stats? Not disagreeing with you, but curious to see what the numbers look like.

I recall seeing some from Josh showing the library. Maybe that was the one?
