They fly their sashimi in directly from Japan twice a week. I think that this is the start of a major transformation of this part of 14th street (Beltline west end) over the next decade IMO. Can foresee many similar high-rises with retail at the base going in over the next decade. All of the...

Missed opportunity to call this Zoo Side. Or in 2025 building naming language: Zoo Voo (View)

Yes, great catch. These are the new renderings alright. It's ok. Not amazing but not terrible. Though so much better than the original renderings below. However, both recent designs are poor compared to the original renderings below.

Looks like this design has changed again. I much prefer the white here shown on ASI’a website. The key to this one will be the materials. If they you a nice brick or tile this could turn out better than expected IMO.

I was just joking btw. A brew pub or distillery would be best here.

Alberta MLA office HQ, nail salon and donair place are the rumored tenants.

Is it just me or does that cladding looks super cheap??

This one is starting any day now. Contractor signage is up as in the building permit posted. Lear is the contractor, who is just coming off from completing Enzo. Should see demolition start any day now.

This is the quality of external panels promised by ASI on The Fifth. Instead they value engineered it to death and installed this garbage on the right below.

Strange. Pretty positive that they demolished all the way up to Salt & Brick. They might be planning on rebuilding it as its not very large at all...

The rendering is misleading. The small building that I understand housed a gay bar for years has been demo'd too. I don't understand how architects cannot get simply features correct in their renderings to the public, like the surrounding buildings that are and are not part of the development...

Agreed The Fifth is poor. Would be 7.5/10 had these used decent quality envelope materials however they chose cheap garbage and it shows.

Never going to happen. 9th Ave is a major artery into downtown from the west. Thee is already a cycle lane on 12th Ave three blocks south, in any case, as well as 8th Ave, one block north. Another one on 9th Ave is not needed at all and I am a big supporter of bike lanes. Traffic already gets...

Rumor going around that there is an architectural/structural design issue and that the building exterior frame was not designed to hold up the metal frame envelope. Engineers trying to find a solution to support the frame :eek:

Agreed. Incredibly bland and plane for townhomes that will be $1M+. Way nicer townhomes in the deep burbs these days such as Alpine Park.

Eaglecrest' ongoing Bankview projects that just broke ground, Varsant and Village, are this scale however too soon to know their finish quality.

An update on this Certus multi-building commercial redevelopment project located across the street from Certus’ office.

Yes this rebuttal is fair. My faux developer comment is more directed at their planned large scale developments. Grow is excellent and General Block and Beacon are very good. All smaller developments and they do those very very well. However, thety are just not cut out for large...

RNDSQR is a very overrated developer IMO. Very good at small rowhouse developments however out of their depth doing anything larger. A couple of years on, their Marda Loop CY33 Commercial tin shed development is an eyesore in Marda Loop's main street. Don't know why Garrison Woods residences...

I like it. But umm...what happens if the The Flames franchise is sold. Are we left with an arena that has a giant flame for a roof that will look odd? Seems like the entire Events Centre is built around the franchise. Will that come back and bite the city in the future? Guess they can always...
