I’m still not used to Calgary’s weather. One day it’s beautiful fall weather and then you wake to your snow lol then it’s gone and back to fall weather for a while. It never gets boring!

One thing I like about this forum, almost every day there’s the opportunity to chime in with a famous Michael Scott reference 😅

The University hit it out of the park, and they are any even halfway finished. Does anyone know what’s proposed for the area where the student housing was? I don’t see anything on the SRC map.

I saw this in person today, and I have to say it looks a lot better finished than it looked in the renderings.

It is what it is. Not the best proposal for that corner, but now that the damage is done, I'll look at the positive side, which is extra residents in the area.

A few things were different back then. A bunch of new hotels opened at the same time (2019), so there was a bit of a short term glut, but also world travel has changed since the pandemic. Calgary has been seeing an increase in visitors every year and add in a new larger convention centre and we...

I would bet the taller one comes in around that height, but even a bit more. If the 62 storey one is coming at 252m, the taller one (based on extrapolation of 10 extra floors should come in at around 278m. That's assuming the bottom 5 floors are exactly double the height of a regular floor. Also...

I would fall into that 3rd category. I’ve lived in both Toronto and Vancouver, but lived in suburban areas. I always wanted a more inner city lifestyle, but it was too expensive in those cities. For myself, moving to Calgary has been very positive, and the longer I live here, the more I like it...

Wow, 100,00 people in a year. Calgary's kicking ass and takin names.

Does anyone know how the appeal went?

I was in the +15 a couple of times last week and it was every bit as busy as it used to be before covid. It was on a Tuesday and Wednesday, and I've heard that Mondays and Fridays are usually slower.

I agree about the perception thing. Whenever I mentioned to people about moving to Alberta one of the first things people would say was ‘I hope you’re at least going to Calgary and not Edmonton’ I’ve only been up to Edmonton a couple of times, but it seems like a nice enough place and yet...

I was initially disappointed with the loss of the brick, but it might be better with there being another building with beige brick a block away. It’s always nice to have a variety.

Has anyone seen any activity from this one recently?

It's fine for me this afternoon, but yesterday was brutal.
