Springbank Hill | ?m | ?s | Multiple Projects


Drove by this today; predictably half of this new "pathway" was a snowbank, and the other half looked impassable for anyone with the slightest mobility challenge.

It's discouraging that this is the result of decisions within the last 15 years, and particularly disappointing that this outcome was deemed acceptable within this last year.
 
A new DP has been submitted by Slokker for the Cobalt site. Cobalt was the 4 tower site at the corner of 19th Ave and 85th Street, this one:

Quite a design change. Going to a 6 storey wood frame product, and unfortunately it looks like the mix of uses (retail and office) is gone as well:

Aside from the points about design, all of which I agree with, I also don't understand the obsession with the colour beige among Calgary developers and/or architects. Don't they realize that we live in an arid climate in which beige is the predominant colour in the landscape for more than half the year?
 
There's a pile driver and other equipment in on Truman's massive lot in Springback, and all fenced off. But I highly suspect this is just being used as a laydown yard for Vesta's 1 building u/c. There's no way Truman going to start on this one now they need to lay off the construction steroids.
