Not sure of the name of this project or if this has been reported yet or not but there is a driller on site for the project that is on the SE corner of 16th Ave & 4th St NW.

If all those groundbreakings actually do come to pass in the first half of 2026, that will indeed be a crap ton of construction activity in East Village.... finally!! As a random aside, it still bothers me that CMLC hasn't been bothered to finish the 9th Ave cycle track over all these years...

More fuel for the speculation fire... "Fairmont Calgary is a direct beneficiary of the Stampede Park transformation project, a major revitalization of Calgary's Culture and Entertainment District centered around the government funded $500 million expansion of its BMO Centre, completed in...

Council has directed Administration to do two things. 1. Prepare a bylaw to repeal blanket rezoning and go back to the old zoning with a caveat that any development permit obtained prior to the repeal date will be grandfathered in. 2. Prepare a bylaw to heavily modify what is permitted as part...

That's so odd given JEMM has CRUs in there building in Bridgeland. Maybe they've had a really negative experience with them or something?

I really wish this building had gone with CRUs along the north side. Seeing the street presence I think it would have been nice to start a retail strip entry way to 10th right from the LRT station.

Went past the old Nexen building on the train tonight and it had me wondering if the UofC conversion had opened yet and if there has been any plans announced for the rest of the building?

Wasn't Quantum Place Chris Ollenburger of CMLC fame? They were quarter backing some massive land use change out in Canmore I think? Surprised they've closed up shop.

Having a station there to serve the Stampede grounds has always made sense, similar to how Toronto has the Exhibition Station just outside of Union for its regional rail trains. The idea of making it a Grand Central Station, serving a similar function as Union Station in Toronto appears to have...

Calgary's elevation is the main issue for a lot of these longer flights. Air Canada launches out of Vancouver (sea level) and Toronto (600 ft). Calgary is at 3,600 ft. To give some context on how that impacts performance, WestJet's high density 737s from Swoop and Sunwing (189 pax) can carry...

People seem to be forgetting that the province wants to build a Grand Central Station in Victoria Park to boost the development opportunities on lands that the ownership of the Calgary Flames have first rights to and to shuttle people in and out of the brand new arena. I agree that a downtown...

I wonder if we'll see a big push of development applications before Council blows it all up in March or if the timelines are just too tight for most developers to get new projects in under the wire?

Is this going to be a 2 level Shoppers or is something else planned for the second floor?
