Pretty solid list.

This is not going to be good for my wallet…or waistline!

So unfortunate but understandable downside will also be that the sidewalks on the three sides of the site will remain unfinished until after the development is complete. Positive that I heard at the info centre is that the goal will be to develop all towers generally at once, although I think...

I’m not sure, but I think they may have been taken down from the forum at the owner/developer request.

I think what I’m disappointed with is that in the renderings that were previously accidentally released, it seemed like there was going to be pedestrian alleys internal to the site, with commercial spaces within those alleys. This effectively proposes a podium with near 100% lot coverage, save...

I wonder if the slowdown of real estate development in places like Toronto might lead to more investment here.

I think it will still be 3 lanes but I believe it will be redesigned to be a more efficient use of space (i.e., I think the west lane will be narrowed as it will no longer share space with a bike lane) and wider multi-use paths will be created on both sides of the bridge. I imagine the multi-use...

That would be awesome! I noticed the front yards dug up but assumed it was related to Main Streets and that the City was going to put retaining walls in. Another LDG project would be a way better outcome!

It looks like a completely new building. Hope they can save the ground floor arches.

Why even bother with the rendering?

Turned out pretty well. I think it’s time to retire to faux wood looking material on new projects though.

Agreed! I like most of what RNDSQR has executed and I would argue that among the developers in the City, they have the best of intentions. They put a lot of thought into their developments and do try something different each time, which is a refreshing change from some others whose project can...

Agreed on Certus! They are that perfect middle ground. They don’t get overly ambitious when it comes to design (I.e., don’t promise something they can’t deliver), but most of their buildings are quality materials with timeless design. Not sure if they would be the City’s first choice for this...

Alternative proposal - provide attractive temporary tax breaks to owners of vacant lots with TLUs that provide a temporary public good. Put time limits on the tax breaks (maybe 5 years) so landowners are still incentivized to develop. Property owners can put the tax savings towards planning for...

July update from the City suggests there may be a rift between RNDSQR and the City on the funding model. Would not be surprised if we see a new development partner announced in the fall. https://engage.calgary.ca/inglewood-station

If the City could find a way to calm McLeod Trail, I think that would be one of the most impactful ways to encourage people to visit the area outside of events. It remains a barrier. Unfortunately I don’t know there’s a way to convert the one ways north of 25 Ave SE, but if I had my way, the...

This is pretty good! The different coloured soffit under the balconies is pretty cool! A higher end material around the balcony areas and a better entrance and I think this goes from pretty good to great on a tough lot.

They’re getting the hang of this construction thing.
