The most interesting tidbits for me is Slokker breaking ground on Vibe Q1 2026. It's been rumoured to be happening, but it's nice to see it in CMLC literature. Of course Library Square breaking ground is awesome as well. The intrguing one is Triovest's land use application for a two tower project beside Studio Bell.

Nothing deactivates a space more than a for rent retail space. CMLC knows how much they can rent their spaces for and I suspect they're not commanding the rents necessary to make it viable. Plus the area can only sustain so much, so do you create a vibrant concentrated high street in the centre, or do you push vibrancy to a disbursed periphery?

Ah, helpful perspective, thank you!

The Stampede's new master plan is coming quicker than I thought...

CMLC 2026 Business Plan says Q1 2026! It includes future plans for the Saddledome site... that is exciting.

New fairmount hotel location? Or possibly the Allies and Morrison location?

Honestly though, what is this? Just the city making parcels that work better together to allow some sort of development... on top of tracks?

Not the worst idea for this location.

So excited to see the plans for Calgary's newest parking lot from the city's most visionary minds

17th ave between north and south Macleod is 1 way westbound for a block? Has that always been like that or part of the changes to the overall stampede /Victoria park station?

What was the reason for it? I am not for or against it, just curious.

I expect nothing less than something equal to the Central Library in ROI on civic pride.

I mean it is Populous but who knows how loose the reigns were.

It was, during construction of the 17th Ave Stampede Park entrance, I don't think it is a one way now.

What is going on blackfoot trail, just south west of Ogden, right at the bottom of the hill when you head southbound? Just west of Crossroads market. They are doing slope work on either side of the road.

Is that the single ugliest block in Calgary? If not, surely a contender.

It's not pretty, but it deserves the urban sherpa award. It's helping in the heavy lifting of the overall arc of Chinook becoming a major density node.

Atco Park launched their website today. Looks like a great master plan from O2.

Looks like they're keeping and repurposing some buildings... The furthest east building and the one across the "Plaza" from it. Very interesting.

Shadowing their own community with 30 story towers, the people around Glenmore Landing would never stand for such a thing, they might even wear a yellow shirt.

Where is ATCO moving its manufacturing facility to in order to make room for this development?
