A hotel is a commercial build. All steel. No concrete core. That's uncommon for office construction too.

4th Street Lofts is only 97 metres tall. The drawing is in the first post https://calgary.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/calgary-4th-street-lofts-115m-29s-western-securities-gibbs-gage.32858/#post-1748528 or a clearer version on Page 28 here...

The DP has many more mullions, different panels widths and, a darker tint for spandrel glass. I recall it stating these are subject to change so I wouldn't count the Chicago facade completely out. NORR is a multi-national, multi-office firm. They also attached their name to grey spandrel...

Oh my! The penthouse is the new lowest of the low for office conversions. They don't even want to render it in the advertising.

It's either a dirt patch or more apartments. City building at its finest

SoBo is near but so far. It's drivable than walkable. I wouldn't call it great for multi-family densification.

That building looks as inviting as a data centre. It was just office space with turnstile security. It wasn't a carrier hotel with server farms also called datacentres

What if you own a property and you desire to remove the contaminated soil that goes down 8 feet up to the property line? Shouldn't you be able to get a shoring and excavation permit?

The crazies are in control on both sides of the political spectrum. This fear mongering is no longer valid. Transit is highly lucrative through upzoning around stations to the most powerful players in the nation. I wouldn't be worried over conservative lobbying at the federal level cancelling...

As expected, This forum leans heavily on the pro development side. We are not building ourselves out of the affordable housing crisis. Supply is not a root cause or a solution developers will get behind. The CAP rates despite the high rental rates are shit. The threshold to build without...

Dawson's Landing Senior Center. Prison quality construction.

It's the same boxy Park Central vibe as the last renderings. The glass looks better in this one. Triplets will be overkill in the skyline. The development looks good on the ground.

Is the 1.8 million square feet just the above ground area or does it also include a 500,000 square foot underground garage? 11 to 1200 square feet allotted to each unit (roughly 1.75 million square feet and 1550 units) is not seen.

There's a lot of balconies on these towers. As I recall, the 35 storey Oliver is around 460 units and the second Park Central is 39 storeys with podium and 530 units. 500 units per tower is not going to be 190 metre twins. One being the tallest residential in the city is as plausible as three 30...

Mixed coupling could become more of an outlier as the different communities establish populations. I see it in the workplaces of major employers. The overall workforce is diverse. However, the different teams or groups making up that workforce are typically not.

The JV CIBC Square wasn't built on spec. They built a few timber buildings that were built on spec.

Cool podium. The tower behind Ristorante is on the podium of the 36 storey GG tower so this is either old or new version.

Finally a promising conversion. Seeing Kirkor is concerning. They are hacks. Chances are high for spandrel glass windows that cheapens the look for some.

Hines spec built a million square feet of office space in Toronto that doesn't have a single tenant signed. That and all the other underperforming properties has still significantly outperformed other western markets?!? $2 billion in residential development may be the only thing to keep their...

faster than this?
