At some point, the prices will get low enough where you'll incentivize those final sales...but clearly it hasn't met that threshold if there are still so many units left. Arris may not face the DI directly, but it's still in the epicentre of the worst of Calgary. Thinking at it from a buyer's...

The River in Mission might give it a run for its money, but yeah one of the few condos that actually deserve a "luxury" label.

Is that the single ugliest block in Calgary? If not, surely a contender.

Its funny that they also placed that no parking sign right next to it to block it even more.

Ha, true, but it may be able to fit both inside of it. I'd be impressed if you could figure out what it is...

I was driving by and was stopped to allow this monster into the site... so things are definitely about to cook.

Uh, that's too bad. The rotation was the only semi-interesting part of the design. At least it might make Kramer happy.

Assuming the materials aren't total shit (and that may be a big assumption), I think I actually prefer this new one over the grey bunker. If done well, this one has a chance to atleast be non-offensively decent...potentially even elegant?

As someone who does branding for a living...every time I see that stupid Blue Sky City sign, it pisses me off. Not only was it a pointless waste of effort and resources just to end up with result that's worse than what it replaced, the visual and written emphasis on blue just drives me nuts...

This is perhaps the dumbest name I've seen since GYMVMT.

Shaka gets it. Just a dumb drive by comment, wasn't being serious.

Classic roads department quality control...cars having to drive over a curb to get to the hotel.

That one is not particularly great either, but I was talking about the other street.

Maybe it’s just me, but “corrugated look” should not be part of such a heritage focused street, especially when we have so few as-is. The turd across the street should be a warning against going off script with cheapness, not an invite.

I’m not sure any of that solves the biggest issue, the material choice. Replace the siding with red brick, or even just use some on the street level or first 2/3 floors, and this building is fine as is.
