Glad they are finally making good progress on West Eau Claire Park, have serious doubts they will be done by Dec 1 though.

The Peace bridge is finally getting the landscaping treatment around it that it deserves.

Well, that's outstanding. Do you own a grappling hook or something SP?

Took a tour of the building Those penthouse suites at the top are very nice.

A couple more.

Did you get to go in any of the units? they all have a different wallpaper and are fully furnished. Some of the wall paper is hilarious, one suite has big pink flamingos! lol

I don't know the name of this project at 16th ave and about 8th street so I'll post my photos here in the construction thread.

Is pre-construction starting on the new cancer centre? Looks like they are breaking up the parking lot...

I think it's only work on the intersection they are doing at the moment.

Strange, because the entire parking lot is fenced off

the 2000's have been good to the Beltline!

Holy crap what a difference 13 years make. I count 23 new buildings in that one angle of the Beltline. All 23 of them added since 2004.

Based on the Census, Beltline has grown on average by ~540 people per year, from 2003 until 2017. It is incredible growth.

So, there is another big one for the beltine, this time on the west side, at 12th ave and 11th Street SW (behind the Metropolitan):

2 buildings, 416 units. Cressey Developments (who in Calgary have partnered with Grovsner on Avenue),

Wondering when they would come in for this one. Glad to see it.

I think it's the Cancer facility actually. They were doing road work, but now the whole site looks ready to go.
