Yep, Ottawa was falling back, but then added more area to their CMA and leapfrogged us temporarily. If Calgary ever adds Foothills MD, it'll put some real distance between us and Edm/Ott.

Years after, the main planner of the Edmonton LRT project said he wished they had have gone the Calgary route instead of the tunnel. That was a few years back, and who knows he may change his mind now that the systems are built out more. Personally I'm happy with the route Calgary took as it got...

Looks like TysonR was bang on in the height guessing game!

We have some official heights. They'll be released to the public shortly. taller tower - 70 storeys, 277.3 metres/909' shorter tower - 63 storeys, 245.55 metres/805'

I have heard from someone in the know that the tallest tower height is pretty close to the 270m listed here, but could change slightly, "give or take a couple of meters". If indeed the shorter tower is taller in height than Brookfield Place, than we are easily looking at 900' Whatever it ends...

It's going to be rising quickly now. I'm leaving on vacation and when I get back it should be on the 3rd or 4th floor by then.

I wonder if the storm on Sunday dampened the attendance? With it only being 7K short, I can't help but wonder what the attendance would have been with nice weather all day.

The estimates have Calgary at 1,839,000, so a growth of 60,194 and Edmonton at 1,673,860 for a growth of 42,246. This is around what I guessed it would be. Alberta as a province is estimated at 4,980,659 for a growth of 138,136. Calgary with 43.7% of Alberta's growth, and Edmonton with 30.6% of...

One of my concerns with Truman's recent builds is the promise of a guaranteed rental income for people who bought the units in Gallery, Imperia and Lincoln. I don't know what the numbers are, but they were sold as units where Truman would guarantee a certain amount of revenue. If the rental...

Crane count updated, now stands at 31 cranes.

That's a lot of weight on that balcony.

I know there would be blowback from commuters, but if the city could ever take 2 lanes from the 5 lanes on 5th and 6th and dedicate them to bus lanes (one park lane and one bypass lane) I imagine the busses would move nicely through downtown.

So 70 floors now. This thing keeps getting taller 😋

In the dp page is says it's for a proposed use of outdoor cafe, Restaurant licensed, but the actual plan shows it as being a daycare?? If it is a daycare it's a positive sign that there are more people with kids around Beltline/Mission these days. Proposed use Outdoor Cafe, Restaurant: Licensed...

Would be great to have a permanent spot for the coca cola stage, especially one where they can segment the crowd a bit so as not to have a repat of the Don Toliver concert. Personally I would like to see a gently sloped amphitheater with tiers and railings at each tier level.

Speaking of Stampede, looks like a new attendance record is possible. The record is from last year is 1,477,953 https://livewirecalgary.com/2025/07/13/calgary-stampede-day-9-wrap-up-and-what-to-do-on-the-final-day-of-the-stampede/ Nearly 151,000 took in the final Saturday at the Greatest...

They better not tear those down and leave it an empty lot.

Hopefully I'm in the minority as I've heard a fair bit of complaints over the years. Mostly from older people who live out in the suburbs.

I think there's a fair amount of people in some of those ridings that the UCP won, opposed to bike lanes. Maybe not necessarily opposed, and are mostly ambivalent, but if it comes down to a political issue, who knows. I've heard plenty of people gripe about bike lanes with the usual complaint...
