Here's the proposed massing, and probably a good sense of where the design is heading.

Hope for good materials, not EIFS or Hardie!
There has been some progress on this one, this development now, has a name 'Sola', with a registration website.

Here is the link for concept: http://engageocgrowkensington.com/#concept.
It appears Riddell Kurczaba is the architect.

Is that still the conceptual design?

It's already better looking than the one across the street. Even as a carton coloured massing.
I would say so. So far only a land use change, but given the website launch, it wouldn't surprise me to see a DP sometime soon.

Damn, I won't be around for that one. Judging by the amount of chirping over the 3 storey affordable housing project across the street, I can imagine this meeting will be an interesting one.

This looks fantastic, I love it. Wish there was this kind of density all over Calgary.Rendering for this one now available, per David Parker article:

Decent. Would look better without the red panel on the end. The grey above it connects across the east side. The red does not, it breaks therefore it does not follow the same protocol and should be better resolved. At this point though, I'll take anything without random rectangles.
Looks pretty good, almost more like an office building. Not of Lido caliber, but solid, and the street frontage looks decent. Definitely a massive improvement over what's there now.
