So it’s not my imagination that Calgary is doing well for startups. Is most of this venture capital money going to oil and gas? I’m curious what types of businesses are starting up.

Something starting construction on 16th ave?

16th ave taking in a different feel with Harmony and Munro. It’s starting to feel like a urban boulevard

Better looking in real life than the renders.

I suppose if they’re going to do this, it’ll be nice if they get it done. Even with how fast Calgary has been growing, the condo market is still sluggish for the most part, so fingers crossed.

I’m liking that brick pattern, better than what’s shown in the renderings.

Personally I think Fifth turned out okay. The retail portion is as good as one could expect. The upper portion facing 17th is good as well. The portion facing 5th could have been better, but all in all a big improvement from what it used to be.

The Beltline is over 30k for sure. I guess would be about 32K which is approximately double what it was 20 years ago. That kind of population increase in an already developed area is nothing short of amazing.

Went past this yesterday and it’s above grade now.

The towers would have been good, but this works well. How many units?

I was super excited when I saw this, until I realized this was an old proposal being replaced with a bland downgrade. Hopefully a new rendering will come out giving us a better look.

I’ll reserve my judgement until the mesh is on. Personally, I think white mesh against the gray background would look OK, but judging by the rendering it will be a brown mesh. Not sure how that’s gonna look.

The fact that it snowed last week and there’s not even a footprint in the snow is concerning.
