So no one noticed the ducks? Just Jessica Biel (guess that makes sense) "The outdoor space is intended for things like a night market or music events, water fowl, etc"

Couple observations for me: Nice to see that The Park has a green roof (minor redeeming quality) - wish all new buildings incorporated that a That cluster of Union Square, Colours, Chocolate and Portfolio are visually my favourite group of condos

So does the hat because you can't see the spandrel

In the Herald today, one I haven't seen mentioned here yet https://section23.com/projects/homes/seniors-residences-edward/ https://calgaryherald.com/life/homes/condos/the-edward-to-complete-the-multi-generational-community-at-cspace

17th ave is becoming a good little stretch with quite a few 3-4 story condos now. Biking down that street I'm quite happy with the street presence they have. With mainly single family homes / duplexes across the street they are not too imposing and have good setbacks. Plus they create a nice...

That's because the Neapolitan already exists on center street https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.06446,-114.0625097,3a,60y,59.12h,105.25t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5HBeOGT7kQuAjtdFFqWBJA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

They have the stencils now on the bike path portion too. You will always have recreational / weekend bikers on the walking portion but regular commuters will be on the separated path which will help. Unfortunately the intersection of bike and walking traffic right at eau claire plaza is poor...

See some similarities to the Henry that Brookfield built in Parkdale

As I stare at those fritzy LEDs from my office it would be nice to see them working consistently. The cold weather seems to take the biggest toll as they seem to start breaking as soon as a cold snap starts (and right from day 1). They have switched from having the entire strip on each level lit...

Very excited to see this start construction next year. So much room for improvement along this corridor

I believe Scotia Bank is now in Brookfield which would likely mean that their 2nd st location will be leased out

The tree wells is quite interesting, does anyone know what they do differently now with the tree wells to increase life expectancy?

Could be for the climbing center, http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/climbing-centre-ground-breaking-olympic-gym-facility-1.3984484 Can't remember if there were any cranes last time I went by, most of the steel work is done though

Nothing major but have been watching this get torn down from my office https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0515293,-114.0650453,3a,60y,87.75h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGRFi7e8Tjh_gFre29jBG3g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Amazing that the only building in that first shot a few years ago was city hall.

It's just the angle, the pod on the right is still in the air and forward of the other 3, you can see it in one of the other pictures

Only just noticed in that picture that the 2 buildings aren't exact mirror images, interesting

The flames are saying on one hand that the city's proposal is unfair because they'll have to pay more property taxes from increased value and then in their proposal they ask for a CRL which is supported by increases in property tax in the area because of the value the arena will add. That is so...

http://calgaryherald.com/news/traffic/more-calgarians-driving-into-the-downtown-than-taking-transit-city-report-says Disappointing that the article overlooks the impressive gains for pedestrians and cycling and focuses only on increases to driving. Looking at only SVO it was an 11.3% increase...
