I genuinely wouldn't mind if Bjarke designed a few more towers for us in Calgary. Looking at his other works, his head seems to be in the right place, he seems to design things a certain way and for a certain reason. His work looks to be of quite high quality, doesn't seem to "mail it in" very...

Agreed. I'm actually starting to like this one quite a bit.

Im pretty sure its the left one (unfortunately?), if what I remember reading earlier is still the case. Also, is it still actually 50 stories? I remember some discussion about whether it was 50 or something closer to 30 ... but the page still does say 50. If it were the design on the right I'd...

Agreed. I think OVER ALL, I'd slightly prefer the one on the right over the one on the left. Left one seems too bland for me. A little more colour variation and that could easily be solved. The one on the right is most definitely more unique, and indeed a tad bit awkward ... but it would most...

So this one's a go-ahead?? Great news :)

More like whining and throwing a tantrum .. seems like he gave up civilized arguing long ago lmao. Man I wish this one would move faster :| Then again, seeing as how we don't have anything massive in the works, I guess waiting for 'smaller' but meaningful projects like this will have to tide us...

I read somewhere that this is nearing its final height. Really? It looks like it still has a while to go, no? Great pics tho GoVertical, I haven't followed this one extensively so I didn't even know the balconies were gonna be spaced around like that. I like it :)

Never in my life have i felt so depressed after a joke. :mad::rolleyes: Damnit Surreal lmao Where did you find that render??? Looks pretty serious

Awesome pics! It's starting to look very tall. And judging by my view from the NW suburbs, it seems to have a fair bit left to go. It's not even up to Suncor yet, and it's supposed to be even higher than that! Of course, viewing from the NW means that Telus Sky is a little farther back than...

Yikes it looks like i should stop posting when I'm tired lmao My bad

It'd be awesome to have a Yonge Street type vibe, but this one project alone wouldn't be enough. A bunch of small businesses - boutiques, restaurants, etc - at the bases of towers with LED signs and a good night-life and high street presence would be AMAZING. Hopefully this will the first of...

My thoughts exactly O-tac. It's dissapointing as hell, because they're essentially wasting a huge plot of land with tons of potential to build ... well ... this. It's as if they were all pumped on designing this podium, then over did it ... then the day before the design was due they were like...

It's nice they're adding density and it's miles ahead of what's there now ... I'm also happy they don't all have exactly the same - or even that similar - designs. Makes it feel less "master planned." I'm not a huge fan of the (lack of) colours ... I guess the black & white could look quite...

Yeah, I'd tend to agree. I feel like the Flames are acting rather whiny - I'm supportive of Nenshi's stance on this. Evidently the city isn't hell-bent on surviving with the Saddledome, they're open to a new arena if it makes sense - but the Flames organization, as you said, just keeps playing...

The fabled new arena isn't included in that budget? hm. Seems odd, the VP plans included a new arena yet here they're planning on spending $10M on upgrading the 'dome. Seems like a silly thing to do if they're planning on demolishing it. The way I interpreted the situation was that they were...

I find it rather impressive that a tower ~725ft tall isn't even visible from all angles in a city of our size. Plop this in Edmonton (at least for a year or two longer), Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, [insert other medium-sized city here] and it'd dominate.

Perhaps an ignorant question ... lowkey forgot this project existed for a bit lol ... Is this still going forward in its current state? I'm with you guys. I'd rather they take their time and build something worthwhile. I wouldn't mind these towers if there were 1-2 of them, but there's way more...

Interesting. It's a decent location. Hopefully whoever eventually picks it up (could take a while before that happens, but who knows) will build something even nicer :)

So now that the flames have given up hattricks (or more) to the opponents 2 games in a row, lost 3 of 4 since Smith's return, and can't seem to put together a PP, what do you guys think needs to happen now? We have 2 more meetings with AZ, and one more with Oilers - which should be "easy"...

Was driving home from work sitting at a stoplight and noticed it - you guys are right - this one shot up very quickly. I guess ill judge the quality of it in its entirety once its nearly finished. Mine's sitting at a "Good" right now.
