Bit of a different angle... you'll need to squint but that's Scotia Place with the crane in the distance.

So are they removing the 5th Ave connector and turning it into park/pathways, or is the render just taking liberties to make the surrounding areas look nicer?

Interesting material and construction choice - should go up pretty quick, no? I kind of like it.

No such thing as too cold! :D

I think the grout might still be wet or drying. It looks like it's a lot more uniform on the bricks on the right of that picture.

I worked on the office side a few years ago. Everything about that building is showing its age.

Is Hotel Arts opening a new location?

Probably referring to this:

Nothing special but I like the colours! It's weird driving by this on 16th with all of the roads completed and a playground, but nothing else even started.

There's a baby crane at Monty 44, not sure if you include them in your count.

Would that replace all of these?

Crazy how much faster the wood framed floors go up when you compare it to the tower that goes up in the background. Cool "video".

Do we have beat cops in Calgary? I know I've seen them out on bikes on the pathways a few times over the summer, but that's hardly an area that attracts a lot of crime. I would imagine having a few patrols throughout the downtown (on foot!) at any given time would definitely go a long way to...

I use that path to commute as well, and I'd guess they can't add lights for wildlife reasons (nesting?). Maybe they could add something like they have around the downtown portion? Probably not inexpensive for how long that stretch is.

Used to look like this. Although only about half of it is gone.
