I would argue that Eau Claire is currently a barren wasteland as it is right now (aside from Riverwalk and Prince's Island)

Yes, they’re slated for demolition as that’s where the river crossing will tunnel downtown

Not sure if there has been any updates on the status of the Contemporary Calgary renovation, but just found some new renderings from KPMB including the current planetarium renovation and Class A Addition. Total cost of the project is $117M with the following funding: $30M from Fed; $30M from...

CMLC posted a video of the past 15 years and it includes a cool video rendering of the EV606 building at the 3:20 mark There's also views of the placeholder for Vita by Minto and the rest of the East Village including the Riff at the 5:17 mark.

Calgary's Chinatown, similar to all Chinatowns in North America, are facing similar issues of gentrification versus disrepair. Chinatown has always been attractive to new immigrants because it was affordable and close to downtown, allowing residents to be close in proximity to employment...

I actually prefer the new design. Nice use of brick in a new and modern application, which compliments the brick on the Simmons building next door. I also enjoy the ground floor treatment and it adds a bit of variety and eccentricity to EV, which has plenty of glass and siding already. I will...

How much power would McIver and the Province have over negotiations and the progress of the project if there is no funding from the province? They may have assigned McIver as the provincial liaison, but if there's no financial contribution, then why do they get a seat at the table?

Not bad and at least Socality House and Lang's Grocer survive

Did anyone else notice that they completed the installation of the transit-only left turn signal on 5th Ave and Centre St in the far right lane? I remember someone suggesting it on here or SSP back in the day. It was a simple and effective solution to relieve all of the congestion from buses...

Haha that's pretty clever. Fun fact: Treno (the coffee shop on the underpass on the 4th street side) is Italian for train :P

Would ASI proceed with the Fisherman site before Royal Park?

I kinda like that the storefronts alternate between brick and siding, giving it some variety

In other sad news, Silver Inn is closing on October 9th. Silver Inn is widely-accepted as the origin of Ginger Beef, an iconic dish that originally hails from Calgary.

Back to school is helping ridership too. I see all the teens walking from the C-Train to Western and St. Mary's on my walk from the Beltline.

Truly stunning. I can see how this would be a great backdrop for future film productions in the city.

Has anyone else noticed how the westbound #7 bus route along 17th Avenue constantly has cars parked in the bus stop? Specifically, it has been an issue at the stops on the corner of 4th street and 6th street. I don't fault the drivers since there's only a small bus stop sign that even...

Great location and they had tremendous success with Major Tom. However, I noticed that the SAIT culinary location on the +15 level has closed down for a while now, likely because they opened in the new location on 4th Street. I wonder if there are any plans for this spot?

So torn, the new podium looks beautiful but the tower above looks pretty standard. It would be a shame to lose another heritage building as well...

This site has to be the most valuable undeveloped real estate in the Beltline. It's almost a full block of potential redevelopment, located on 17th Ave, views of Rouleauville Square and St. Mary's, 3 blocks from the Stampede C-Train station, and 5 blocks away from the new green line station on...
