For construction dummies like me, is the tendering out process different than a costing exercise? I often hear of companies doing a costing exercise before going ahead with a project.

East beltline getting some love!

I’ve seen worse.

Was in Bowness a couple of times this summer. It reminds me of Marda Loop 15 years ago. All the tools are there, it only needs a bit more time.

It’s too bad all four corners of 17th Ave. and fourth Street didn’t have buildings that were a bit bigger, some flashy LED boards to make it like a mini version of Young and Dundas.

I was at University District last weekend, and was impressed by how well it’s come along.

Looks decent enough, better than the rendering IMO.

Cool. The lot where the old student housing buildings were torn down?

It would most likely be transparent glass.

I can’t picture Trump making it through his term. Either he’ll be assassinated or he’ll die due to health. The other possibility is that they lose badly in the midterms and he gets impeached and they get a super majority and boot them out..

Tim’s is an attraction point for homeless people. Remember last year I was out in Vancouver and me and a friend stopped to go into a Tim Hortons and the door was locked. They had to buzz you in. And to be honest, I had no problem with that. I totally understand why they were doing that.

I’m trying to think of 8 downtown hotels, I can only think of 3. Dorian, Marriott Residence and the new in on 6th ave

I walked past the site yesterday and the footprint for the proposed building is larger than the foundation already built. That said, maybe the underground portion that’s already built doesn’t have to match the footprint of the proposed building.

Nice. Only a few more sleeps!

I’m pulling for the leafs too! I grew up in Toronto so I have a legit excuse 😁
