So no building security at city hall after hours, I assume? He couldn't have had time to smash his way in and then set 4 fires on a particular floor, if there was security.

Last night I was woken at 4 in the morning by what sounded like wave after wave of sirens. Not knowing what it was all about I went back to sleep after it subsided. On the news this morning it was reported as an incident with no other details. I have now read that someone (with a knife) was...

There is no question that the overindulgence and substance abuse is the root cause to most of the negative effects of Stampede. Not sure how 'drinking your face off' night after night compliments all of the other activities and enjoyment that Stampede has to offer. Solution: Move the mass...

Employment Rate (as reported in the Calgary Herald, July 8) "In Calgary, the unemployment rate dropped from 6.6 per cent to 5.5 per cent while in Edmonton it fell from 6.2 to 5.9 per cent. In January, the unemployment level in Calgary was 8.5 per cent." It is hard to believe that we have shaved...

This was the original rendering. The brick in the photo looks darker otherwise it appears to be the same as designed.

GWL Realty Advisors ... does anyone know where are they with these once planned projects? I believe the first one is now in the hands of Quadreal 2 big parking lots in Eau Claire (original proposal dates back to 2014)...

Truman getting into the high rise condo business? That puts them in the 'heavy weight' category.

I agree. I am sure they must be working on it. It could become the residential version of a Bow Valley Square

I know I will raise the ire of pro-Heritage contingent of this blog. However, that illustration of Norman Block would suggest that this is the heritage we are giving up with redevelopment. Norman Block on the outside now, looks nothing like it did 30 years which at that time probably did not...

A construction tender is out for this project. Developer is Certus...89 residential units

Look at the sidewalks and curbs in those pictures. Another example of sloppy work by the builder. I see this all over the inner city on new builds. After the building is completed, the outside walks, drives, stairs, curbs etc. are installed hastily with very little attention to detail. The...

I am guessing it is a financing issue for the developer. The market is still strong for other purpose rental projects.

I doubt if Suncor is at the center of this proposal. Has it even been made public that they might be the proposed tenant for the office building?

Anyone been by this address lately? Project seems to have died. The DP was approved a year ago.

I think it is going to take something big & bold to start the development ball rolling from 1 St SW east to Macleod Tr. We had some discussion in this thread or another one about a hospitality/retail hub with movie theatres that would be perfect for that part of 17 Ave. It might be too close to...

I did not see this posted anywhere. The old Scotiabank space on the NE corner of 8th Ave & 2 St SW .... 2 stories & big windows ... is going to be an Italian themed establishment. www.barbarellabar.ca It is a big space so Concorde Group are 'banking' (pun intended) on it to be a popular hangout.

DP application says 70 suites.

Strange in that there is no address for Bellagio on that webpage. In order to drum up interest in the building ... don't you want to tell people where it is?
