    The Hive | 27m | 9s | Jemm Properties | LOLA

    I saw the wood styled paneling in person and it looks good. Almost like real wood.

    Mission Flats | 18m | 5s | Advent | Gravity Architecture

    If it looks like vinyl, it might as well be 😐

    Statscan numbers

    Very strong numbers for Calgary, we’re kicking ass. It’ll be interesting to see if the population growth this year is reflective of the housing starts. If so, we should have some really strong growth in population.

    Harmony One | 20m | 6s | Gravity Architecture

    My God, this is incredibly slow. We’ve seen some slow developments in Calgary, but this one has got to be the slowest of all time.

    1900 Marda Loop | 23m | 6s | Sarina Homes

    They must be confident that they are going to beat out the appeal.

    Beltline Block | 118m | 36s | ONE Properties | Gibbs Gage

    This would be a good addition to the area. The street retail alone is enough to make it a good addition.

    Heritage Station Towers | 85m | 28s | Westcorp | GEC

    A huge improvement over the empty dirt lots that are there today.

    The Broward | 19m | 6s | Truman | MoDA

    I agree an empty lot doesn’t have to be taxed the same as a high-rise building that’s in use, but there could be an annual flat fee or something to help dissuade developers from leaving a parcel an empty lot for decades like Matco has done at the Westbrook station.

    University District | ?m | ?s | University of Calgary Properties Group

    Thanks for the update NWurbanism and welcome to the forum. I’ve been wondering if they are going to build something south of Aria.

    Calgary: Cars vs Pedestrians, Cyclists and Transit

    That’s the situation most of us are in, especially if you’re not right in the core. I live just past 20th Ave., NW, an area which many consider to be inner city, an area that has decent walk ability, but it’s still quite difficult to live life without a car especially with kids. I’ll give you a...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I agree, they had too many things on the go. Another developer can take a run at this, probably won’t be as exciting a design, but it’ll get built.

    Brentwood Commons | 85m | 24s | Casola Koppe

    I’ll be honest, I don’t love the tower designs specifically but I’m happy about the project overall. I couldn’t care less if the tower was designed like a purple lizard, the direct path laneway from the LRT station through the development to the park on the other side, as well as the connection...

    Carbon Tax: good or bad?

    Taxi drivers have been looking at going full EV for a few years now. Different drivers have tried it out, there was a driver here in Calgary or maybe Edmonton who was piloting one 3 or 4 years ago, but in the end, it all comes down to money, whether it’s credit or whatever it is, it’s $$$ that...

    Who will be Alberta's largest metro in a decade?

    My prediction is the order of Canada’s top six cities today will remain in the same order 20 years from now with the gaps widening or lessoning, but keeping the same order. Toronto 9.0M Montreal 5.0M Vancouver 4.0M Calgary 2.6M Edmonton 2.1M Ottawa 1.9M
