The podium reminds me of Stella/Nova, which is pretty decent. Towers are okay.

I love the night look.

It didn’t phrase my post very well. I don’t think the CFL is going to fold anytime soon, the point I meant to get across was that $400-500 million is a lot of money for a stadium whose main anchor tenant averages 20,000 people a game for eight games a season. The uncertainty is what kind of...

I hate to say it but you’re right. It’s a lot of money to invest if you’re not sure about the CFL’s future. Either way a small stadium in the $200-$250 million range should be feasible though.

Props to @MichaelS for the great updates in this and the west district thread.

I would be choked at a building like this built on a main street like university Avenue but with the retail CRUs it gets a pass. Not a passing grade, but a pass.

No DPs have been submitted yet, it’s still the sale centre for University District. It’ll probably be the last lot to get developed.

This is a decent small sized development, and offers good density. We all love towers, but in Sunalta, this fits in very well.

If my eyes aren’t deceiving me, I get 17.5m wide for university Avenue, and 13.5m for 4th Street.

Build this!

Pants shat! even without the renderings.

These are probably more expensive as well, but I agree these are nicer than the usual townhouses that are getting built. The row homes I’m seeing built are all the same. It seems like one architect is doing all of them lol.

With any luck the next iteration will be residential only and something get built relatively soon. A location that you could easily put some 8 to 12 story buildings on.

Time to move on and create our own specific Eau Claire dream. Divide up the area into chunks, sell to multiple developers and let it evolve.

I see no reason why we couldn’t close 17th during the summer. I say do it!

Under the new water bylaw everyone was supposed to have been switched to meters by 2020. Last I heard, there were only a few hundred customers left who didn’t have a meter, out of over half a million customers and that was a couple of years ago. For the people who don’t have a meter, the city...

Farkas might try and run again, but I doubt he has much of a chance, he was given the stiff boot last time around.

Are there any plans to develop the lot across from this on the south side of University Ave?

I love the wood, my only concern is the longevity of it. Hopefully it won’t look weathered and need to be replaced in 15 years.

Without Banff the gap between the two airports wouldn’t as stark as it is today, but Calgary would still be the busier airport. How much busier is the question. Without Banff and without Westjet ever happening my guess is there would be about 25-30% difference due to Cakgary being the business...
