    Calgary International Airport

    Ah so Guadalajara is now in the mix. It's a fairly popular spot these days.

    Stampede Station | 270m | 69s | Truman | NORR

    I changed the height on the building. Truman has stated both towers will be taller than Brookfield Place, so I made the shorter tower 248m (1m taller than Brookfield) and the taller one 22m above that. Again, these will change once there is a DP, but there wasn't much point keeping the shorter...

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    I mentioned this in another thread, but this is one of the downsides of being a large unicity. Normally a good chunk of Calgary's suburbs would be separate municipalities and not part of Calgary's decision making. Bike lanes would be an easier sell, but they aren't an easy sell to people in the...

    Dude smoking crack in front of the building. Hillhurst is officially an urban neighborhood! 😁

    Stampede Station | 270m | 69s | Truman | NORR

    The height is really there only as a placeholder so it shows up in the proper sub forums on the main skyrisecities page :) We could put it higher than 252m, as I suspect it will be higher than 252, but for now it fits into the 200-300m category.

    General Construction Updates

    Unfortunately, there's nothing that I've heard of slated for that location. Nothing on DMAP.

    Stampede Station | 270m | 69s | Truman | NORR

    I would guess the number probably includes all segments, but there's no question that some luxury brands are needed. Like you pointed out, it's been a while since some higher end hotels have been built, though the Dorian falls into the upper scale type (Autograph), but not luxury. I'm not sure...

    Stampede Station | 270m | 69s | Truman | NORR

    That's my feelings as well. The cost of huge project can change, as we've seen with other projects. One thing Gondek mentioned yesterday was that Calgary was short about 4500 hotel rooms. I don't know where that number comes from or the type of rooms we are short on, but tourism/hotel business...

    Calgary Retail Thread

    Hopefully COOP doesn't actually sell off their land, but instead leverages it in to some developments, and still retains ownership of the properties. I agree, if they were to outright sell the land it wouldn't be good for their grocery business long term.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I can see both sides of the argument. On one hand the city needs to be able to do upgrades and improvements from time to time, but Stephen ave is a very busy corridor. After seeing how long it took for Marda Loop and Eau Claire plaza I would probably be worried too. One thing that the city can...

    Village Block | 27m | 6s | Liberty Housing | Metafor

    Liberty housing is tied into Truman. To what degree, I'm not sure, but they have a connection. One of the Truman sons is also a board member of Liberty housing.
