Agreed on Edmonton. Skyline photos are going to look like if you took a kindergarten class picture, but three or four of the kids were 7ft tall. Edmonton's Ice District area also feels very sterile and master-planned to me, might be more fun during hockey games though. I think Calgary will...

I second that on Sutter. This summer seems to be playing out as the off-season for Canadian GMs to be absolute idiots, what with the Ottawa and Montreal trades and Calgary not even talking to any other coaches. I'm fully willing to give Peters a chance, but I just find it shady that literally...

This morning, the Flames' owners agreed to resume arena negotiations with a "preliminary discussion to determine what may have changed the city's view to warrant our re-engaging." Ken King stated, however, that all negotiations are to happen behind closed doors, keeping the media and public out...

The day where companies like Cidex will consult people like us can't come soon enough. This would've never been built in this manner if they were sensible enough to realize no one wants it built in this manner. Like I've said before ... we literally give FREE, HONEST, and LEVEL-HEADED...

Jeez, it's absolutely massive. That 3rd picture, I forgot how big this one was.

Yeah, not a huge fan of that. I liked the little splash of colour those gave. It won't make a huge difference looking from below or from the right angle, but looking at it head-on from a few streets back won't be nearly as exciting anymore imo.

People will move to Calgary whether we build condos or not. To slow urban sprawl, I'd rather they move here and live in condos as opposed to suburban homes 45 minutes from the core. Whether you live in a condo or a house, you still take up one job position. You're not going to be denied a job...

Renders are a big improvement over what they had before, towers look much more sleek. Agree on the parking, but grocery stores are pretty prone to having vast lots. Would probably require a paradigm shift to convince people to park underground or something more sensible instead. This will make a...

Day or two old news now, but the Flames have also signed Yasin Ehliz, a German forward, and Swedish d-man Marcus Hogstrom. Supposedly they’ll both just be AHL players for now. Were these good pick-ups? Should we be trading them for someone bigger, or keep them? I think we have enough young...

Ah, that's right ... I remember reading in some article he would kinda have to replace someone on the top line, for some reason I thought it was Gaudreau, but yeah you're right ... he's a centre, my bad haha. I definitely think we could justifiably sign him at over $10M here and I think he's an...

Same here on the caps win. Thankful Vegas didn't win, disappointed they got as far as they did. I would've preferred Winnipeg to win it (can you imagine the celebrations? their arena was full even during AWAY games!), but Ovi deserved this too. agreed fully. I dunno if he’s leaps and bounds...

Wow, it's shooting up well now, even just comparing June 5 to June 8. Great pics, thanks for the update.

Sidenote but those S200 trains are a bit of an aggravation for me :/ They look very cool and all, but the seating layout is absolutely atrocious. Only 1 line of benches backing on to each wall, with "leaning pads" everywhere. Everything's just hard plastic, wouldn't be as bad if it were...

Freaking awesome! There's very few instances where updates involve the height actually being INCREASED. Excited about this one for sure, I definitely think "Point Tower" to be a more fitting name considering the spire at the top, but it's great either way. Agree on the podium though, could've...

Kinda disappointed really, there not only could be more floors, but there SHOULD be more floors. The little bit that's under the flyover or whatever, that can stay 2. But there should be something taller there. Even just a low-income apartment or something, it's beside the drop-in centre...

Indeed, it was a "meh" design, I'm glad they're getting some time to think things over. I'm just still really confused where the "350m building" came from ... as a sucker for tall things that got me a little excited but now I'm just plain confused haha.

What comment are you talking about? I haven't heard anything about a 350m building. Yes, Oxford planned to build a skyscraper even taller than Brookfield a few years ago, but it's been put on hold and will probably/hopefully be redesigned. Even that was nowhere near 350m though. iirc i thought...

Yup. As shown in several of the above pictures. ;)

Yeahh, Calgary's not exactly a vacation destination as much as Vancouver or Vegas might be lol. I'm sure they still need some hotels for business and Stampede week though. Glad to hear they're most likely doing this one.

Interesting. I wonder why they painted it if they're going to cover it up with cladding right away anyways? Awesome pictures btw, looks fantastic.
