Apparently sales for this project have done pretty well (far better than I would have thought). Only 14 units left, it says this will be finished by the fall: https://calgaryherald.com/business/commercial-real-estate/parker-the-kenten-luxury-residences-kensington-three-quarters-sold

He specifically campaigned on this with his initial run back in 2010 if I recall, with the slogan of "because that is where the people are". No analysis of if it was feasible, no costing apparently, completely ignoring decades of long-term planning that went into our LRT network.

So in otherwords, what the professional transit planners had been planning for decades until Naheed Nenshi decided he knew better. And I will point out, in terms of the north central alignment, nothing is actually done. There is still a possibilty to do what you are proposing. I would say...

This project is now listed for sale. The DP is approved, but it doesn't look like construction will begin until a new buyer is found: https://goodmanreport.com/active-listings/the-bennett-2822-25-st-sw-calgary/

That doesn't look like the hood of a 911 or Miata......

And I think the first 2 hours are free (or at least they were last time I used it).

Was O2 involved with Marc and Mada? Pretty sure that was Civicworks. O2 has the other "highrise" land use to the west of Marc and Mada in Marda Loop here: https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=LOC2025-0010 Also, speaking of interesting land use redesignations, this one by Civicworks in the Banff Trail...
