University district coming along well. I wish we could have plants/flowers/benches on the sidewalk like you see very often in European cities. It would make the area more lively and feel more organic.

Yes, there are several listings for renting units of the buildings online right now. 2 bedrooms going for between 2.1K and 2.6K. A bit pricy considering the building and this area of downtown but you judge.

I'm moving back to Calgary and looking to rent a condo (DMs are open if anyone is leasing an unit). I was renting a 1 bedroom for 1.1k$ in 2020/2021, now i'm gonna need to spend at least 1.8k it's insane. I also wonder why condos remain cheap to buy when rents are spiking this much.

What the heck is this lol

That's actually not too far from reality, pretty impressive. I was born in 1996 so I am curious to know was the dominant view on urban development in Canada back then? Is that when the notion of TOD emerged?

Hope the previously posted design is the one retained.
