I voted no, the easiest voting decision ever. I wouldn’t spend a plum nickel going to the US. I’m also curious why four people voted yes, and what their reasoning would be? Other than being Trumpers.

The towers are boring as hell, but practical as hell. Given the roads they face onto and the area they’re in I wouldn’t spend a lot in making them look nice either. The run here is a few hundred units within TOD distance of Heritage station.

I don’t mind it. I’m good with the bright white and the blue accents.

So after the Flames lost to Utah and Nashville I felt comfortable thinking the tank was finally underway and then they win in Anaheim a traditional graveyard for the Flames. So frustrating 😐

It’ll be interesting to see if it sells. One thing it has in its favour is the location.

Was at the Safeway earlier today and noticed they are going gangbusters. They’re drilling even though they aren’t completely done with the demolition.

I have this bad feeling we’ll be stuck doing whatever the province wants. The UCP knows the deadline for the feds funding is March and they’re dragging this out so the city will have no choice but to do what the province wants. At the end of the day the UCP has all the power. At least until...

That’s so true man! (Stole that from @haltcatchfire 😊)

Comparing the empty lots around Chinook to Brentwood station in Burnaby isn’t really an apples to apples comparison. The situation here in Calgary is different than Metro Vancouver. Land is much more expensive in Vancouver/Burnaby, and the layout of their neighbourhoods and zoning in cities like...

I don’t disagree that as a city or as a community we still need to push for better designs, but there’s a point where you have to be realistic. Those lots have been wastelands for over 50 years, so for me any development is a positive. I’d rather see this get built, than have it sit as a...

It would take a lot more than a few tweaks to turn the area into a Griffintown or even lead it in that direction. You’d need a cohesive plan with one entity controlling the development like U/D, EV, West District etc.. It would be great if it was nicer, but we’re not in a position to be choosy.

Hell yeah !

Nothing in place to replace it yet. IIRC Harvard sold the land back to the city, and until there is a solid plan for the green line it might sit for a while.

Even 25 of these would make a noticeable difference if placed in strategic areas.

Yeah, there's been activity for a while. I had no idea it was a residential conversion.

There has been major activity in this field with the Amazon data centre announced, expansion of data hive as posted earlier in the thread, and now this one. Calgary must be right up there ad a data centre hub. Maybe the Data centre capital of Western Canada?

We can also add Aeropark to the list 😃 There is also one in Bridgeland that somebody updated the other day, but I don’t remember the name of it.

I heard something on the radio (660 news radio) this morning, and they said in 2020 about 40% of people in Canada between 18 and 34 owned a home, but it now it’s only around %25 - I might have those numbers wrong. If that’s the case, homeownership was somewhat attainable for young people when...

Maybe the mods can make a thread about colonialism and such and the discussion can move there?

Urb didn’t reply, so 50+ floors it is!
