    Sorry for wanting my downtown and city to look attractive. There have been many conversions that look really good including Cube, Tek Place, and others. You can convert old buildings and still make them look somewhat attractive, it doesn’t have to be an either or.

    The bigger question, what the hell is going on with those two Eau Clare conversion towers in the background. Woooooofffffff…..

    Typical….losing the curves changes the whole building. Went from an A- to a C.

    Would the existing grandstand be completely gutted and redone? That structure isn’t getting any younger either and needs a major overhaul.

    I vote for the bud barns for a new stadium. I just don’t see how they can create a football stadium and keep the chuckwagon track at the same time.

    I’ve been to the Embarcedero a couple times. They are an oyster bar. Great oysters, cool atmosphere. I like the place, also surprised it isn’t busier more often.

    I still find the entire exterior too messy and cluttered. So much going on. Disappointed in the sport courts being cut. Those are the types of things that attract people….not patches of grass. The roof I don’t care too much about. It was too subtle to begin with so I don’t think it will make a...

    Seems like an awe fully long construction timeline. Already hating that all the trees will be removed soon from Olympic Plaza. That will leave a big hole in the core for a long time….

    I’m with FCC1982 on this one. Can’t believe the city is allowing this much park space to be used for this expansion. This will be a regrettable decision in the future I fear.

    This city is so adverse to water features. Yes they can be expensive to maintain and can’t be used during the winter, however, they add so much for those few summer months we get. We don’t need a million of them, but maintaining a couple elaborate water features shouldn’t be that hard. I’d argue...

    Unbuilt Projects

    East Village looks nothing like the original master plan! We dodged a huge bullet with the library and came out with something much better for sure. I still wish they built those glass domes that flank the DIC. Evolution is still one of my favorite condo projects in the city. I kind of like the...

    Looking at it more closely again I’m not a fan. I’m disappointed at how big the building is and how much actual park space and trees will be lost in Olympic Plaza. I also don’t find the building itself that attractive. In the rare case, I think there is too much wood on the exterior that I feel...

    If only they used a white panel underneath instead. If they grey and the panel was of a slightly better quality (less vertical lines).

    Good. The design was terrible for that location. I like the funky blue building that occupies the spot currently.

    Companies like Matco make me sick. What the hell is their purpose if they never develop anything?

    This might be the first time I ever say this, but the brick actually makes it look worse. The brown brick does not go with the white and red for some reason. Maybe it’s the colour of the brick, or the use of brick itself, but something is off. Cheap looking building but better than what was...

    If the hotel on Stampede Trail is dead, what’s the timeline or vision for the retail buildings along the western side of the road from the BMO to where Arriva condos are? Are those lots to remain empty for the next decade as well?

    I find the brown brick building right across the street from it (where Bottlesxrew Bills is) to be 100x uglier form the outside. Either way, two hideous building right beside each other.
