What are the odds this is being built? I'd be happy to see a project of this size go up in Calgary, regardless which of the two designs will be used. It'll be a great population boost to the city core and the massive retail section will no doubt give the streets significantly more pedestrian...
I know many people are dissapointed with the price and utility of this project but honestly it's a good thing at least something is being built there at all. Also, the design is relatively interesting so that's also a plus.
Well here's a side by side comparison of the two. Though the fact that now there's only one store rather than 3 isn't great, the design of the building itself definitely improved in my opinion though I think rather than putthing the black wooden panel where the sign is, I feel like they...
Even if its the smaller tower going up, its still great news considering before, it seemed like the project was gonna stagnate until the end of this year. This way, there's at least something going up.
Overall, looks great. The only concern is the podium looks really ugly from all sides but the front entrance. Really hoping they change that to something a little less plain than just a grey wall.
Damn this crane must be picking up something heavy, look at the bend on that bad boy. I tell ya, that boy aint right.
On a serious note, thanks for the updates man, you do a lot of em for us. Looks like 1875 has got some competition
