Great numbers for YYC, although I have to say I’m surprised that transporter traffic is still up even if it’s only 1.5% Is this because WestJet has canceled some transporter flight and other cities like Winnipeg or Edmonton, etc. And are now routing those people through Calgary?

The distance related to altitude makes sense, but I would say demand should easily be there, especially to India. If you look at the South Asian population across the prairie‘s and the area where WestJet dominates service it’s quite a large population. I bet if WestJet had an A350 they would...

I would say one more floor and it’ll be the tallest in Kensington.

Don’t take a chance on a candidate like Whitmer. If the democratics don’t get back in next election, things will get progressively worse.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least one new route to China, either Beijing, Shanghai or Hong Kong

White panels aside, it looks good overall. It’s nice the way the facades are broken up, I wish we had more of that in these 6 storey builds. Nice job MODA.

Let’s start an email campaign to Truman and get them to bump it to 1000’ 😎

They,ve bottomed out, now it’s time for a crane.

It’s not a bad looking neighborhood.

I think it’s a good concept. A few towers right in the core of downtown works.

So happy to see this moving forward, even though the building design isn’t anything special it’s gonna be nice to have that streetscape filled in.

It’s close to university District, but outside of that there’s nothing urban about the area. I’m mostly referring to 32nd ave in general, not being an urban feeling street in any way, I mean there isn’t even a continuous sidewalk on both sides of the avenue. I agree with CB Barnett about the...

The parking lot is bigger than it needs to be. They could’ve made the building 60 units with 44 parking spaces instead of the reverse. Outside of that, it fits the bill for what you could expect for that type of location. Maybe they could’ve done better with the corner facing 32nd Ave. but...

I saw them there also. It looked like they were fixing the fence.

Population growth will slow and residential high-rise construction will slow, but that doesn’t mean we’re never going to see a high-rise building built again. With the city’s incentive program for downtown residential construction, this has a better chance than some of the others.
