Agreed. Missed opportunity, although once you get west of this parcel, there isn't good opportunity for multi-family or retail.

It's pretty good. I'm not sure it's worthy of the hype, but most of the hype is from Filipinos, understandable since the chain originated from there.

I'll throw in a guess of 22K.

Wow. I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting more white panels, or the usual type metal aluminum panels in gray. This is above what I had hoped for.

Maybe. Wouldn't some of the new development at Vic Park be development not expected for the bridge or EV, like a Hotel or some of the restaurants and bars? I'm not defending the business economics that they've presented, but I don't believe this will have much cannibalization of EV or BL. Those...

Surreal has that super duper zoom camera.

I think the light coloured panels are going to look great. I hope they have a lot more up when I'm in Calgary in a couple of weeks.

lol

The glass looks good, better than I expected.

I never paid attention to the height of this one, but it's going to be very noticeable at 37 storeys.

Looks decent enough. Kind of what I expected, also nice to see some progress.

Agreed. I have a feeling Arris will b e on ice for a while unless someone picks it up as a rental tower.

The Royal turned out well. Hopefully EB does another Calgary project.

Exactly. It's probably not many people opposed, and if the developer was not trying to stretch to many boundaries it probably would have gotten through. I'm not in th development business, but I would think that tweaking the original plan shouldn't be that hard. Time consuming more than anything.

My preference would be to have the two platforms across from each other, but it's depends on the cost savings. Maybe there's a way to make the the platforms on top of each other but have a double height area that's open to both platforms?

Calgary can always improve on its urban vibrancy and culture, but I wouldn't read too much into the stats. Most cities will go through periods where the student population declines relative to other cities percentage wise. Student population doesn't increase in a linear fashion, it increases as...

I dunno. I agree on raising the standard for design in the city on high profile streets and such, but IMO even though though the design is average, the design is good enough for a location like this. What bothers me most is residents opposing it due to its scale.

It can be a game changer for the neighborhood without changing the direction of it. A grocery Store and pharmacy are good the for the area in general as well as the local neighborhood. Most, if not all of the smaller storefront retail in the EV won't be competitors with Loblaws or Shoppers.
