    Centre Street Mixed Use | 22m | 6s | Jackson McCormick

    You're opinion's popular with me. I like a few tall towers here and there for skyline enhancement and the appearance of urban fabric, but these smaller projects do so much to make an area feel nice.

    Office Space Conversion

    100% with you on this. The one way traffic is really meant for peak traffic that's only busy for a couple of hours in the morning and in the late afternoon. It's time to rethink downtown as a large office park and more of a community. Also agree about putting residents in as the first step...

    606 4th Street | 64m | 16s | Dream Office

    Yep, used to be IBM, and then CWB for a while. Too bad they have to re-do some of the exterior, I like that mid-century modern look.

    Crane Count

    This is where the count now sits at. I think Dawson Landing Age Care might not have a crane anymore, but can't find anything on it, so I'm going to leave it for a few more months. Crane Count (Updated Nov 22, 2025) Residential Barron Building 1 Kensington Mixed Use 1 Mission Hill Landing 1...

    Office conversion list updated again and I think this should be up to date now. The thing that really struck me was the total number of residential units at 3605. It's like building around 10-12 x 30 storey residential towers around the core. Name Status # Units/Rooms...

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    This could be good, with a chance of being very bad. If the party goes too far to the right, they'll either spit and separate into two parties, or they'll stay as one extreme right wing party, which would help the NDP gain some votes. The very bad part would be if they became more extreme but...

    Gallery First & Tenth | 60m | 19s | Truman

    It's tight but doable. Kit at Kensington which is a slightly smaller sized building was at the stage Gallery is at now, back in mid May, and 6 months later it has topped out averaging 1.6 floors a week. Going by that average, it would be roughly 7.5 months for Gallery to top out, which would put...

    That's new to me. I like it. Just the kind of building Centre Street could use a hundred more of.

    Statscan numbers

    Lots of NPR's for the big 3 metros, at least from July 2023- July 2024. I don't have stats for previous years, but I suspect the previous year will be similar for the big three. As trtttc mentioned, interprovincial migration was good, but most of the growth was still from international...

    Plaza | 109m | 33s | Cantiro | GEC

    Calgary still seems to be growing in population, and as ng as that keeps going, rental builds will probably keep going. Last month Calgary once again led all metros in housing starts. I guess the question is, how long will the momentum carry with immigration numbers slowing.

    61st Ave Residential | 64m | 19s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Agreed, it would be nice to see some more comprehensive plan for the area surrounding Chinook Station, but at the same time given the big box stores and strip malls around it, it could be a long wait. I'm treating this as a step forward.
