I’d like to see another high rise of 15-20 floor range in the Kensington area maybe at 14th St.

‘Them’ as in the plural form of people lol.

Amazing to see the population go from 38k to around 68k in only 10 years! None of the other midsize metros have seen anything close to that kind of growth in their downtowns. And they all have larger areas. If Calgary added two or three extra square kilometers we’d be easily over 70k.

It might already be starting. There were people at site today. No heavier equipment, but at least two or three guys with vests.

24th is like a small city ready to be built.

I noticed they have construction fencing up around the site and have started some minor work.

Looking great. 👍

The arches are looking great. Nice touch.

I like it too. Well done @MoDA

Damn, did it ever. I came here to check the progress, it expecting it to be topped out.

I get where you’re coming from, we have so many empty or under-utilized parcels within a 3 or 4 km radius around the core, I’d be happy with a two story building, as long as it has retail CRUs. I like Calgary’s dense compact core, but Calgary needs to spread had density out a bit.

Refinished metal is good. As long as it’s not that cheap board seen on a lot of 6 story, wood frame builds

They’re taking their sweet time putting in the crane.

I know lots of people who don’t like bike lanes, mostly they don’t like the cost and complain that they never see people using them. I’m in full support of bike lanes, even I though don’t ride a bike very often. I figure good cities need good infrastructure for everybody. At my place of work...

As of last weekend it was still idle.
