With a drop-off lobby for both towers on 14th and 15th Ave, respectively, is it really necessary to have the parking turnout along Macleod? I already hate the turnout in front of BLVD, so I would hate for this trend to continue.

I do love this building though :cool:

The Contemporary Calgary website now includes a cool flythrough video of the expansion plan. Not sure how to post it here but including a link below. https://www.contemporarycalgary.com/future

Kinda crazy to see the height difference between the W and Boradway on 17th, which was previously the proposal for the tallest residential in Calgary only a few mere months ago.

I thought the lack of hotel rooms prevents the city from hosting larger scale events that require minimum number of rooms?

How many years have that scaffolding been up for?

Dollarama is now at the former London Drugs

Is this the Jeff Davison Parking Lot? ;)

This video has a better depiction of the birds on the fountain, which look larger and more whimsical. The owl is my favourite :cool: It definitely looks inspired by the Berczy Park fountain

I think it would be cool if they put a Time Out Market food hall at the downtown location similar to the one in Montreal or even an Eataly would be great

Wow really? Kinda shocked since the Mission location isn't too far away

Another parking lot bites the dust!!

Chipotle could do very well with Western a block away

The central library was a design competition but I don't think the proposed designs were initially revealed. However, the proposals were eventually leaked. https://competitions.org/2014/12/2014-12-22-23-36-52/ Not buildings, but the East Village master plan and the West Riverwalk design were...

Vox has a great video on the reason why most Chinatowns across the world have a similar aesthetic that look nothing like current designs going up in modern China

I agree that the design is still "bunkerish" but at least interesting enough exterior to make you wonder what's inside and, thankfully, the ground floor is opening and inviting that you walk through a font door on Stephen Ave to find out compared to the experience of what was there before

Great find! That's beautiful and perfect for the location. Is it residential on the ground floor?

I guess the new design allows for improved access from the C-Train. But not sure how much use the new plaza will get with 5 lanes of traffic separating it from Riverwalk?

Is this site still owned by Arlington Group?
