Dont forget the new BMO Centre! It would be nice if at least the building names somewhat indicated what the buildings were being used for...

Would love to see action on that site, but not getting my hopes up. Between the market slowing down and this being Quadreal...

I heard recently that real estate makes up 28% of BC's economy. I expect condo construction in those markets will be slow for a long time. Calgary I can see faring better, in part because we haven't overbuilt to the same extent and also the value proposition here is better. But we went...

This pit might get a fair bit deeper still, but I agree that the Imperia hole seems larger regardless.

Looks like the crane is being erected today

Calgary has grown so much in the past 4 years that I'd argue that 2021 census data is practically obsolete (although, granted it's the best we have). We've pretty much added a Greater Victoria since then.

Their website seems to have all sorts of errors on it. Although, a 2 bed unit at $2000 doesn't seem like a bad deal.

I agree, those actually look quite good, O-tac!

I don't believe there is any commercial in this one, which I agree could have been really cool

DP for a new development in East Village being called "Lyric". Developer is Ayrshire, architect is Metafor. Being this close to the riverfront, setbacks apply so this was inevitably going to be 6 storeys. Encouraging to see a few applications in East Village, as well as Trico's project just...

Unfortunately, with the state of the east side of downtown right now I think there would be a lot of concerns about student safety if it were proposed to turn the old CBE building into a school.

I recall hearing that a problem with Toronto and Vancouver's housing markets is that they are all in on small units in highrises, but there's a lack of larger units appropriate for families. Even with all the construction happening in those cities, they're not addressing the core needs in their...

I hope so too. Unfortunately I'm not optimistic. I am hoping The City will not grant approval for a parking lot - we have far too many of those in Eau Claire as it is.

Wow, Toronto fell behind Montreal and Vancouver for apartment starts. Their multi market really has taken a huge hit. And all 6 markets are building more apartments - in most cases, a lot more - than they are singles and semis. I wonder if the ratio would be different for some of the mid size...

There is an application process for the funding and also only so much funding available, and I think all of this year's has already been allocated.

Based on the renders, IMO this project actually looks better from the 36 AV SW angle, but unfortunately the renders all show it from the 34 Av SW angle. I think it'll turn out OK.

Im not saying I don't want it to get built. I'm saying that there are much better proposed and approved buildings I'd rather see built than this one. With the sheer volume of proposals we know not all of the projects now proposed or approved are likely to be built. Ultimately its still...

Redstone and Yellowstone are both fine as "filler" IMO, but this one is substandard in comparison. Assuming not all of the projects currently being proposed get built, I'd also be fine with this one dying on the vine.

Loving this one

To be fair, they've been at a good pace with their Hannover conversion. I am excited to see how much the thousands of new housing units in these various conversions will impact the vibrancy of the downtown core over the next few years. For example, the Hannover conversion, when considered in...
