As long as there is beers and wings I'm happy.

They excavated for both buildings, so I'm assuming they'll do both.

It was approved by CPC, and it fits the developments of the area. I wonder why it was refused? It doesn't make sense.

3,000 residents added in 2026 (and a couple months into 2027 :) is only my guess based on projects finishing up at the end of 2025 and ones finishing in 2026. The count comes out to 1813 units, which would translate into roughly 2,800 to 3,300 people. That also includes Palliser, which might not...

This will be game changer, it's going to be fun watching the progress.

I think one corrugated building is okay for Inglewood. One thing I like about Inglewood is it has good architectural diversity, but currently it doesn't have any buildings with the corrugated paneling. Would I want more than one building with that material? No.

I think 2026 will be good. Some things I look forward to: - the most exciting for me is the rumored Allies and Morrison proposal. - another project starting up in EV. - several of the office conversions finishing up and another 3,000 residents added to the CBD. - the green line construction...

I'm okay with the material choice, but that's more of a personal choice. If it's the same type of material Hindle used on their lower Mount Royal design, I would be fine with it.

I find the design pretty boring, but I also believe it wouldn't take much to improve it. - line up the windows properly. - add some fenestration and some sort of trim along the roofline. - increase the size of the windows.

The silver lining in the cloud is that it's in a prime location that's getting a streetscape upgrade. It'll only be a matter of time before something gets built in it's place, and will increase the 8th street momentum.

You can really see the difference. Some of the buildings that stood out in 2002, simply blend in now and are almost un-noticeable.

Aerial pic of downtown from 2010. I would kill to see this same shot today. I would guess there would be around 30 or so new highrises in this angle? A few skyline shots from July 2002. I'm going to force myself to go take some shots of the same angles this coming July.

They also had excavators on top of the York Hotel when they were taking it down. I used to have some pics, but can't find them.
