This still seems to be the latest revisions showing what the exterior will look like at the very least?

This would be excellent to come to fruition.

The plans are here: Development Permit. Not sure if there is anything more there, other than concessions/washrooms. Looks like just the upper concourse level. You can see the Upper Concourse level on page 19, and the cross section on page 38. I'm thinking the wall just to make the concourse...

Went for a showing this past week... probably some of the most interesting layouts we've seen in a building thus far. Looked at their 2Bds and 3Bd + Den unit. Of the 2Bds, only the largest one (roughly 800sqft) would be decent IMHO, and even yet, the layout of the living area with a dining room...

Looks like this has been renamed The Sullivan; sounds like Aspen is considering more office-to-residential for the same area, possibly a hotel. Aspen eyes switching downtown Calgary development to residential

Sorry about the quality of photos, but looks like crane base!
