A big issue with Montreal's Olympic Stadium demolition is the same issue with Madison Square Garden, they're built on top of train stations. With the roof redone in Montreal it is easier to justify a lower cost lipstick renovation. Maybe something similar to what they just did in Hamilton to the...

A great summary.

I cannot imagine the price tag to increase rail capacity between the prairies and the coast.

Curious to see how things fair in Montreal with the new roof. They've missed out on the World Cup but should be able to capitalize on the MLS's changing schedule and I cannot wait for Montreal to host a Grey Cup.

My point was nobody asked for a new license plate. It was also pretty poorly executed by the government department that did it. The mountains are only one, actually pretty small, slice of the province. Taking that choice to a public vote and having that alone determine your decision was a bad...

The Calgary equivalent would be this... credit to ChatGPT it knew to put the goal posts at the front of the endzone.

Tower 1 is the shortest. Interesting that the tallest tower would be phase 3. Makes me think that there could be a chance that not all the towers would be built. If they are built sequentially that's a decade of construction, which is brutal to imagine.

Appreciate that they're keeping the facade the same. Unique building that will end up better than Cornerstone and 800 SIX WEST.

I was more or less thinking of backwater from the perspective of other Americans. I used to go to Montana before Trump came in and have family in Idaho, so I actually think both are great. And for sure, it is a means to measure something. Does that something reflect the situation on the ground...

And looks like this is one of what could be a future phase. Wasn't there a trickle of some news about London finally finishing off their development too? The Car Wash and Bottle Depot District could really start to feel filled in. For London... (DP2023-08522)This application was approved on...

Maybe this will save people from looking every address on this list up... 622 5 Ave S.W. Small but should be a quick and easy project. 510 5 Street S.W. Right beside the Dorian and not small. We'll see if they keep the brick. 441 5 Ave S.W. A building I've been by many times and it left no...

This is why, if you scroll up from the bottom it takes until you get to Michigan to find a state that isn't a backwater. I am honestly surprised at Michigan's placement so low with its manufacturing, maybe because its climate means there are not many wealth hoarders. Good reminder GDP per...

The goal of our capitalist-ish economy is to reduce the need for consulting. If you don't need to bring someone in to tell you how something works and you just know it works the same way here in Alberta as it does in BC then boom, you're on your way to doing more beyond your provincial borders.

I've thought more about this, you're right that it is more unique than I was giving it credit for. The buildings crown could look quite cool if done well, at night and during the day. I also have to remind myself about the landscaping on the north and south side of the building too, that will be...

Progress looks more tangible from the north, they're finally working to enclose that north wall.
