At least it fits the color scheme of EV. Who knows, maybe with the tower it'll look decent.

Sad to say, the DeltaTech live cam got removed from youtube recently :(

It'd be great if Calgary was located in California or Texas. In Alberta, the only saving grace this project has is chinooks and even then I'm not sure if it'd be enough to upset the mall standing mostly empty for 4-5 months of the year minus when the gods decide Calgary should have +10-15 degree...

Yeah, you're right, it's not something that should necessarily be associated with the street retail section of 17th ave, but this is quite far down from where the street retail corridor on both sides ends and is also not a very pedestrian traffic area.

Are they finally putting the balconies up?

It definitely will be but then the mural wont really be visible :(

Haven't heard anything about an underpass either but welcome aboard!

Well, height-wise it's probably a little over halfway up, but in terms of floors, it is 1 floor shy of being ha;fway

20 of 41 floors done. Just 21 more to go!

The design is actually pretty good. Depending on what materials they use, I'd go as far as to say it could actually turn out quite pretty. Very Gondor-esque but in the 21st century

Yeah... please no. Calgary has a few public spaces that are great and olympic plaza is by far one of the brightest shining examples in the city. I would hate for it to be torn down for this even though the design isn't half bad. It'd be great if this place was to go some place else in the city...

Will there be any more floors added or is it pretty much topped out at the moment

Seems update photos of it taken regularly on the Strategic Group website page for the tower. It's actually going pretty quickly

It'll take years more. They're redesigning the tower itself which may take the rest of 2019 for construction to actually begin on it. Fingers crossed that it doesn't shrink from the original 142 meters

Huh, I keep learning something new about Calgary downtown. You'd think having been there over a hundred times I'd have memorized everything in it.

While I partially agree with your argument, you do need to keep in mind that if large areas of Calgary stop building mid and high rises to only build low rises(and smaller mid rises), this would mean that at some point Calgary will need to stat tearing down all these low rises which will just...

That looks great. A +15 would definitely be nice in the location as well. Hopefully there's no complaints against it from city officials because of "decrease in street foot traffic". Always found that argument ridiculous considering Calgary's cold climate.

Currently, there appears to be 16 of 42 floors completed so they still have more than half of the project to finish.

Here's the data. Surprising how productive market mall is. CF in general just seems to know how to produce high productivity.
