    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Now the community needs to get on board with walking instead of driving.

    Form vs Function?

    There are some architectural styles where form is an outcome of function. Some may disagree with me, but I think there’s beauty in the simplicity of some International Style buildings as an example. That said, I think I’m going to go against the grain and say form over function. Maybe this is...

    Marda Loop Village and GoPerformance.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I’m excited to see that the Marda Loop Co-Op development is going to be a partnership with Truman. I thought we’d see something official a lot sooner given the accidental sneak peak we got, so hopefully we really do see it this spring.

    Infill Development Discussion

    I have often thought about this when walking through Elbow Park. I expect that the province will sell them or transfer them to the City (likely for sale) once flood mitigation is in place. That’s what happened in High River once mitigation was completed there.

    Unbuilt Projects

    Every one of those would have been great additions to the city!

    The Nines | 22m | 6s | Opus Corporation | Gravity Architecture

    "Double Gretzky" didn't market very well in Calgary.

    That's too bad if true. Allied owns a lot of great, historic buildings in the City.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I think about how ironic the window coverings are every time I walk by the building considering how long it was covered in scaffolding, and how long the street front has been vacant. They're even more ironic now. Allied did all this work to renovate (I'm not even sure if they're done yet), but...

    Hudson Condos | 20m | 5s | Sarina Homes | Casola Koppe

    They seemed to shift during development of the Harrison building. I assume it’s because the market for condos was soft when they were trying to sell presale units in Harrison and sell the remaining units in Coco. I know someone who actually had put a deposit on a pre-sale commercial unit in...

    I think this will be the first of a few announcements on immigration in the coming weeks/months. https://apple.news/AfNsXJui0T3moHa9eK0EMTQ

    West Village Towers | 149.95m | 42s | Cidex Group | NORR Dubai Yahya Jan

    I’m so curious to know what the retail bays look like inside. Smart to lease to one tenant than multiple, because I think these were going to sit empty a long time if leased piecemeal. I’m guessing Loblaw got a smoking deal.

    Canada Immigration discussion

    Agreed, not the right forum, but I’m not sure if I’m being lumped in to the “some people being prejudiced and shameful” so I just want to defend myself if I’ve given off the wrong impression, because I’m not at all anti-immigration, but there are a lot of people who agree that we’re currently in...

    Canada Immigration discussion

    I also feel bad for newcomers hoping for a better life, some of whom have mortgaged their lives to come here, only to find that a better life is unattainable. This has always been the case (for immigrants without existing wealth). Immigrants (generally) face an uphill battle when moving to...

    Canada Immigration discussion

    I just think public opinion is swinging on immigration (reasonable, rational, and expert people are joining the debate), and politicians won’t be able to ignore it forever. Ignore it too long, and they risk public opinion becoming something more inflammatory and dangerous.

    I don’t see a scenario where all forms of immigration population growth (permanent immigrants, temporary foreign workers, international students) isn’t throttled back significantly. A recession would be painful, but living standards are deteriorating under the current scenario. The...

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    I don’t think timeline will work for TC Liquids (South Bow) as they likely need space mid-2024. Once Liquids moves, I imagine TC Remain Co consolidates floors and renos a few floors at a time. I’ve heard Deloitte may be moving to BH.
