    It's a project called SAIT Mixed Use. I'll copy the post over to the thread.

    Calgary Then and Now

    Not the perfect comparison, but it gives a decent idea of how much has changed over the years 1987 Now

    Calgary's Downtown Population

    The fact the boundaries are based more on jobs makes sense as to why almost a third of Calgary's downtown boundary is are with no residential (the Stampede grounds)

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

    For CF investing in residential near Chinook seems like an easy win-win. Their investment also adds 590 units next to their mall, plus it could potentially be a catalyst for more development which in turn could up the value of their mall and their residential project.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    Giving a ticket to a homeless guy for littering is a waste of everyone's time. We know it won't get paid, and what can they really do if he doesn't pay it? They need to take a run at solving the root cause. I know there's only so much the city can do within its power, but even if they could...

    Unbuilt Projects

    I had forgotten about so many of those proposals. The ones that I would have been happy to see today are FCC II, The Cascade tower, and Plaza 75. I think all three would have aged decently, especially FCC II would would still be an interesting tower. The original Bankers Hall design was very...

    Exactly. Seems mostly for publicity.

    UofC Architecture School | 60m | 14s | U of C

    Lots of publicity coming out of this one day blitz. Drive past Century Gardens on Monday, and it'll back to the usual.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    I'd give it a few days. Anyone arrested won't be held any longer than that. Those given a ticket to pay a fine probably don't have the money to pay for it. IMO, it's nothing more than a publicity stunt. I'm all for extra policing around the core, but only to a certain extent. If the extra...

    Unbuilt Projects

    It's the building I most wish was built during that boomtime. There was a 75 storey tower and another 60ish floor one, but this one would have still been a cool building today.

    It's a way to help get more oil/gas industry action without having to add to the deficit to do it.

    Infill Development Discussion

    I don't live too far from that area. I was thinking of doing a bike ride around the area capturing all the new infill projects, but there are so many, it would take all day. Without exaggerating, I would say there is one of these projects either u/c or recently finished on almost every block in...

    1150 Centre Street SE | 121.5m | 37s | Oxford Properties | Zeidler

    The opportunity's there for sure. With Beltline Block having retail facing 1st, it will be a big boost to the street vibe. Let's put it this way, it'll add 10 times the vibrancy the previous buildings added, which was pretty much zero.

    1150 Centre Street SE | 121.5m | 37s | Oxford Properties | Zeidler

    Lots of change coming to that area with 710 units under construction or with an active building permit, and the strong possibility of another 392 units. In that small 500' radius will very likely see 1,112 new units get built. If phase the twos of Beltline and 1150 Centre also get built that...
