Beltline Block | SkyriseCalgary
Beltline Block, Calgary by 1, Gibbs Gage Architectscalgary.skyrisecities.com
move to YYC , let's enjoy it !
My best friend lives in Calgary now and I go down semi-frequently to visit. The more I go the more I'm considering it honestly, but I still love Edmonton for it's progressive planning policies. Now, if Calgary updated their city plan and zoning bylaw...
Also wow is Beltline block going to actually be 190m tall? that's quite impressive!
They did update the city zoning bylaw for blanket zoning
but standby, there's still lots of flak going around.

Although, I am not sure what sort of reception the current iteration will recieve from the public / council:
Nelson: Plan to live in a different type of Calgary
City finally reveals its plan for Calgary's future in a document full of buzzwords, relentlessly focused on diversity equity and inclusion.

The land use for this goes to CPC this week:
Report, Background, Applicant Submission
Maybe after this step, we will see a DP come in.

Construction fencing for some reason around the footprint of Tower 1.

Could it be fencing for constructing a sales centre?
How does the progressive zoning policies apply to all the vacant properties in downtown Edmonton? Looser as of right zoning for multi-family and height is par for the course in Canada as it tries to fit in millions of new people. Zoning that encourages better temp usage than dirt or surface parking would be progressive. It's going to take at least a 100 years to develop the pockmarked downtown Edmonton with 30 to 50 storey high rises.
The bones are there. The topography provides interest as well. Downtown Edmonton is falling behind other major Canadian downtowns and taller towers and as of right multi-family in suburban tracts may not be the solution.

It's a large scale art installation labeled "Mending Fences".

Ever since the renders came out, something seemed off to me between the numbers and the renderings. So I counted...
According to the renders, after manually counting:
The tallest tower is 53 storeys.
The 17th Ave tower is 31 storeys.
And the condo tower is 36 storeys.
Originally, the 46s figure came from this post. I'm not sure what to believe now, as there was no height info in the LOC.
If the renders are accurate and the tallest tower is indeed 53 storeys, that would make it almost 180m.

The Guardians are 47 storeys and are 149 meters. 6 storeys adds about 20 meters, so id put it more like 170 meters. But yes very tall.
Edit: i retract my statement. Guardians are 44 storeys, so yes that would put this around 180 meters assuming similar floor heights, and their podiums seem similarly height-scaled despite Guardian's being gross.

I have heard, anecdotally, that the tallest tower is to be 55 storeys - so the render is likely accurate.
This is such a cool project, I really hope it goes ahead. It would really kickstart the revitalization of the eastern portion of 17th towards the Stampede grounds.

Agreed! Hopefully after this project we see investment shift towards Stampede Trail....which would nicely create mass on both ends and more traffic between the 2 areas....which in time will create opportunity in that 1st-Macleod zone that seems lacking presently.
