Too bad.

Not actual construction, but I’ve seen a whole bunch of soil sampling going on where the overpass will be beside the Deerfoot Casino at Barlow and 114th. Haven’t seen that before.

Oh that makes more sense. I heard Carney was in Calgary the other day meeting executives from oil companies.

Carney is here meeting Premiers.

Those stairwells will make perfect seating for the area's wandering residents... Something desperately needs to fill that Detroit style wasteland. I will take it at this point. Hopefully they colour match the easy trim on what I assume will be another Hardie panel exterior.

Wasn't there a micro hotel or something too?

Truman is going absolutely gangbusters! I kind of worry they'll stretch themselves thin. Don't want another Torode style implosion. They seem to have their shit together though. Can't believe they have such a small HQ considering their growth.

Are you talking about Barlow and 52nd? They both have dirt piles just waiting for construction. Barlow is terrible. They went from 1 set of lights to 2. How was that ever approved? I take the Shepard Road shortcut to avoid it.

Lots of earth moving going on north of the PBS building at 130th. Was discussed a bit in the Greenline thread and someone who works there said it’s a second building expansion for PBS and that it differs a bit from previous renderings.

I want to see a daylight rendering. Is it just square with night lighting adding that design? Do the balconies make a similar pattern? What colour is the building? It’s really hard to tell.

Is that brick I see going all the way to the roofline?!? If built as depicted it will make the monstrosity across the street even more shameful.

Is the name a nod to the trailers it is replacing? I wasn’t aware the trailer park was going. These identical buildings of grey, black and white with wood veneer accents popping up everywhere are the new commie blocks. Show some creativity for once!

Seton update: The Avalon mixed use project a block away is now at grade.

Drove by yesterday and the playground looks mighty lonely.

Looking at this again I wonder are there some units without balconies?
