I guess this is why... Must be more to this story that they couldn't get any emergency funding after they had signed the Tesco deal. https://calgaryherald.com/business/local-business/calgary-based-robotics-company-attabotics-bankruptcy-protection

The Lodge building next door is also Truman, unclear why they didn't use the same spandrel, and went with this green colour. Overall can't complain though as they got a decent mix of retail given it's not in Kensington proper.

Surprised at the luxury residential given the current market conditions. The unit counts are pretty low that they'll be pretty expensive. Calgary is holding up ok, but I imagine a target audience for this is not just Calgary, but Toronto/Vancouver people as well.

Are there any obvious residential areas that will be impacted by this? Considering the location, find it hard they'll have too much opposition. It's funny how city projects can be done with zero consultation - Cowboys park, Scotia Place, Olympic Plaza, Victoria park station rebuild, etc. and a...

I'd think so. The loading/back alley area is all these white panel, at least it's not on the main strip as those are mostly brick facade.

Part of the reason they have so many brands is many were through acquisitions. Autograph is a level above a standard Marriott, and usually have some unique branding/amenties, whereas chains like Courtyard or Marriott very often have the same brand amenities and the same decor and JW/ W is like...

I'm sure these are just very early renders, but looks like the shared podium will be retail?

Wow all three are Marriotts. Add in the airport ones, Delta/Marriott/Residence Inn downtown, we've got to be the highest Marriot per capita in the country 😂

Is Co-op not the best run grocery business? Probably. Is this a play to siphon off the real estate portfolio and bankrupt the grocery business? Absolutely. Cross subsidies are normal, Save-On probably only exists because it's backed by Pattison's other businesses. Loblaws is expanding into...

Passed by this a few weeks ago, and the way the vents are put on just looks really cheap, almost like a temporary structure.

Is construction insurance a thing? Or is that typically only for health and safety

The problem is there’s been no study since 2022, and nothing as part of the development.

Yea the 19+2 was the wine one I was thinking of. And I didn't know there was one in the Amato Gelato area

Really? Not trying to be sarcastic but genuinely curious where that is happening. When I've taken the HSR in Europe (Eurostar and Renfe), Asia (Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China) it's always been dedicated tracks and platforms. Even when they're in the same station, it's usually like a separate...

There needs to be more study, but HSR have stricter requirements for curves, grade changes, so it's not as simple as change the trains, the route may be very different. Not to mention the tighter tolerance for rail and higher maintenance requirements. Their own corridor is pretty important for...

The Co-Op one? It's close in distance but separated by Crowchild. Not a big user of liquor stores myself but I'd think having grocery connected would help.

That level of increase seems unlikely given there's no significant increase in flights. This is not airport data but CBSA data, so it's all American's entering Canada through the Calgary International Airport. I wonder if this includes any advance staff for the G7 and Rotary. The scale of the US...

I think so but if you look at the highest green in that picture it's in the NE, and I imagine in the far NW / deep SE. Those areas are mostly school deserts, so that's why all the new schools are there.

The rates/redemption for that is more comparable to a standard Marriott. It probably operates mostly like a standard Marriott. Hotel brands aren't very consistent. As they're typically individually owned and operated with licensing from a brand. Calgary is in a weird spot. Most of the tourist...

The liquor store was a point of contention for the community, as there's already one on 19th, and technically violates city rules, especially in proximity to a school. But I think the ones in the area are mostly wine and less full service. And I think it was a part of the pitch to get a grocery...
