I don't think we'll take any acts away from them, but we'll get the same acts as Edmonton (not including stadium acts) If there are acts that only want to do one site in Alberta, we may end up taking it as we have the bigger population, but mostly it'll be the same acts for both cities.

That's the part that's so crazy. The folks in the low density suburbs - what I would call the middle ring burbs, are the people so opposed to the density increase, but that's not where it's happening. I'm not sure those neighborhoods from the 60's-90's will ever get any kind of density infills...

9 units replacing two houses isn't a huge density gain, but better than nothing.

754 units and a cost of $169M would be a good sized development. I would guess at least three towers, more likely 4 towers.

I would like it if it was the lot beside Keynote where they don't have a height limit. Canada's first supertall outside of Toronto would be cool.

This is really interesting. I've always wondered what actual effect the heat island had on Calgary.

I voted 'other'. A lot of people voted BMO hotel, but we have the Stampede hotel, and the Truman Marriotts already. I hope it's something to do with the Bay building, that would be very awesome.

I only wish the towers were nicer, but I’m happy to see residential going in across from Chinook. And the buildings are managed by CF I don’t expect they’ll be slum towers either.

A trade off mostly. A nicer newer facade replaced by more expensive housing. Not that the pervious units were cheap, but these new ones are more expensive. That old pink stucco though… it needed to go. The new facade with larger windows will also look nicer at night.

A friend mentioned that his company is working on a high rise project for 8th street that he says is going to be starting construction sometime early in the new year. This is the only proposal I know of on 8th street, so we could be looking at another tower going.

Tbh, I would like the north facing views with the cbd as the backdrop.

The white looked great against the dark windows. Black cladding will be a whole lotta dark, but I’ll wait until I see the renders to form my opinion.

I saw on the news the other day the building g is now renting 👍

So much development going on around Calgary. These are exciting times.

And thanks to AlexYYC, for the continued updates. Glad to see you’re back from holidays.
