Think this looks good, nothing ground breaking but a residential tower with retail at grade in the commercial core is always a win. Biggest beef is the steps up to the main floor, but the flood plain dictates, so what can you do...

 

[Cowtown]

Passed by there this afternoon and noticed some trucks on site, and a trailer with some gear on the back.

Exciting times for residential builds in Calgary !

More trucks and equipment on site this morning, but I’m starting to think it’s maybe staging for one of the other construction sites?

 

[Alex_YYC]

Back to a flatbed trailer and a few pieces of material, also a new bin. I thought something might be happening with this one, but it’s looking more like a storage area for another project.

Another truck on site. Soil sampler? Maybe gearing up for something?

 

[badc0ffee]

Could definitely be gearing up for construction - DP2024-05672 was approved

 

[Surrealplaces]

The truck on site is from Earth Drilling, and they do soil sampling. Good sign as we often see these trucks on site not long before drilling.

According to the amended DP plans, the height for this one is now 108.675m.

So then they got rid of the screening at the top of the tower?

 

[maestro]

It's a boxy spandrel glass tower with red spandrel panels being a plus. It will still comes down to the aesthetic quality of the window wall. Units are on the small side but, not terribly tight. That doesn't include the large one bedroom corner penthouses. Efficient layouts with every bedroom having an exterior window. Unfortunately, The podium is stylistically bland and finished with equally bland aluminium composite panels.

This one got unanimous approval at CPC this afternoon. A few more renderings were shown in Administration's presentation, mostly of the streetscape:

Looking at this again I wonder are there some units without balconies?
