This is my experience too. I've always liked the places I've visited, but the more places I visit, the more I like where I am. Not that the other places don't their virtues, but the more places I visit, the more I pay attention to the pros and cons.

I would really like to see rail to Banff. Edmonton would be nice too, but Banff really needs it, and the traffic to Banff and through Banff, is only going to keep increasing.

I believe the builder is Luxuria (Same as Block 11B) as the DP is all one one chunk. Going in to bloxk 11A (shown in blue)

If we can build modular housing to look like the examples from Sweden, I think it would go over well.

If I'm not mistaken Farkas had around this same number last election. He probably has the most to gain as he has a base hovering in the 20-30% range, and I feel like he won't lose much, if any of his base, while Sharp, and Davison battle it out for the other conservative leaning voters. To me...

Couldn't agree more UW. Every time I go there I'm impressed more an more.

I'm not thrilled with the Sentinel design, but I've been very happy with the additional of Fifth and Enzo. Both have added good retail and street frontage, and managed to add residents at the same time. Time will tell with Francesco's, but already it looks like a win, losing a parking lot...

A couple more renderings, because we can never have too many :)

Yep, the newer portion was Spring of 1984, and the older portion sometime around 1967. I'm one of the few people old enough to remember when it was the 'Calgary Power' building. It's in this photo from either summer of 68 or summer of 69. But either way, yeah, it's been around for a while. I'm...

Might as well start a thread for this one. Project will be updated as info comes in.

Some more renderings related to the ones posted by @Albertasaurus. Four, 3 storey townhouses buildings (Block 11A). These would be north of the two 5 storey buildings (Block 11B)

Nope, for it was baseball :) According to the Herald there is some friction between Sharp and Farkas. https://calgaryherald.com/news/calgary-mayoral-debate-october-8

Nice to see this going. U/D is a machine!

It would have been a nice density boost with some retail, but on the flip side we get to keep the funky little building.
