UD is definitely more vibrant. But it's been building for years. The progress at WD is impressive if you take into consideration that about a year ago, the only retail there was at the Gateway building. Everything else has been completed in the last year. Not sure if this is true, but the...

The Wellington, which is the new building where they are doing the excavation, will be a rental only. Oak and Olive is also rental only. I think the three larger towers that Truman has planned may be for sale. West side Calgary is a desirable place to live. 15 minutes to downtown, close to...

The crane is up for the Wellington, and the excavation is progressing.

A few photos from before the snowfall. Broadcast Ave will become a very busy spot by summer of 2026! The Plaza Oak & Olive

I heard that Cactus Club is coming to West District. True? Nice to see Village Ice Cream committing.

Upper upscale means a certain level in terms of hotel brands. So, unlikely we will see a Four Seasons, Ritz or Park Hyatt. Likely a Marriott or a cut below "luxury" level.
