Just be grateful it wasn't comic sans or something. What even is that? Aerial? Including the @ symbol is so tacky too.

What a fantastic replacement for the ex gas station gravel lot that occupied that corner the past 3 decades.

I've said this before, and I'll reiterate it again. The UCP are spending record amounts of cash on healthcare. Unfortunately that isn't resulting in better service or supporting the system. Instead it is being blown on quadrupling the bureaucracy by blowing up AHS and creating new departments...

That’s a bullshit excuse considering the billions the government chose to blow on all manner of partisan Danielle Smith thought experiments, corrupt contracts, Alberta Next panels, payouts to coal companies, Alberta is calling immigration campaigns, ‘studies’ that no one wanted for everything...

The 20% provincial property tax increase for Calgarians is going to fly like a lead balloon. Where is it you live again?

Isn’t this basically 900 feet? 897 feet is pretty much the same

I just saw that on a different render from the NW.

I can think of 2 major schools that were demolished recently. One in Kingsland and the other being Viscount Bennett in Glengarry. Both sold to developers.

They already VE’d the main interesting feature which was the glass patterning. The inset balconies halfway up remind me of Stantec. Also, choosing to have the observation deck facing East instead of West is odd. Is this geared for Stampede tourists?
