"The Brooklyn" was too associated with the US (obviously) so there is an official name change for this project.

Interesting. Even though Brooklyn is an American name, I'd be okay with it, given New York's rich history etc..

Have they decided on a new name yet?

“The Galloway” is shown on the photo

Yep, and in big letters lol.

When is construction starting?

Yeah, one look at this thing, and I'm pretty sure the feeling was mutual from the Brooklyn side.

love that lot to be filled

Hopefully if they are going through all the trouble of a name change, they're still contemplating construction.

I think the city of Brooklyn might sue. That is defamation.

Appreciate the name change. Happy to see the lot get filled in.

With all the building going on just off the Stampede Grounds, I'm wondering do we get the final BLVD phase sooner than later. RIP to the Arby's I miss it.

For once I welcome a triplet. That stretch of Macleod is twin city. It's almost comical looking in a cookie cutter, Sim City kinda way.

 

[Mountain Man]

Galloway seems like an odd name...

 

[badc0ffee]

It's a beefy name, just like the building.

Sounds like they are (along with Lyric and the Danish Canadian Club one).

Cool. They're looking at going ahead with all three?

The Galloway is the closest to construction with a building permit application. Copenhagen Block has a DP DP2025-01112. Lyric has a DP DP2025-04436
