    Vibe | 51m | 13s | Slokker | Giannone Petricone

    A nice Tuesday morning surprise...DP has been submitted for this one. Overall pretty similar to the render posted by UrbanWarrior, but a couple floors taller. Looks like FS is indeed going to develop the entire block, eventually. Architect is Giannone Petricone Associates out of Toronto...

    General Construction Updates

    Sorry, to be clear I was referring to the building posted by IanBray (1300 8 st) which appears set for demolition and replacement with a parking lot.

    General Construction Updates

    Disappointing. The City should not grant them a DP for a parking lot (correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we have the policy and discretion to do so). The floorplate of this building would have been suitable for a residential conversion.

    1405 - 4th Street | 77m | 24s | GWL | Arcadis

    Personally, I see it as sort of understated and innocuous, but to each their own.

    Nostalgia Townlet I ?m I ?s I Jayman Homes

    Credit to Jayman for trying to be creative with their suburban communities. Even though it'll likely turn out to be more of a contrived Disneyesque community than a vibrant neighbourhood, I'll take it over the crap most developers do in the burbs any day. And it is a positive to see at least a...

    The Brooklyn | 37m | 10s | Ayrshire | EFG Architects

    Any updates on this one? Last we heard the lot was fenced off, which is usually a promising sign...

    Statscan numbers

    So 50k for the first half of the year, on pace to maybe hit 100k for the year overall, still pretty strong growth all things considered. So perhaps 50k for the year for Greater Calgary?

    1405 - 4th Street | 77m | 24s | GWL | Arcadis

    I Pretty sure it's 24. The article also erroneously stated 4 St Lofts as 27 floors (it's 29)

    Calgary International Airport

    It's actually my second time here but first time was many years ago. Only here a few days then off to Japan. Loving it, friendly people and very reasonably priced, great food and the best fried chicken in the world!

    The Brooklyn | 37m | 10s | Ayrshire | EFG Architects

    Not one of my favorite proposals by any means but this part of Beltline needs some parking lots filled in, so glad to see this one apparently moving to construction.

    Calgary International Airport

    So I'm in Seoul right now. On my flight the two people next to me were a guy from Saskatoon visiting his GF's family in China and a Korean student living in Alabama (maybe drove to Atlanta and flew out from there?). She said it was fhe best deal for her. Shows how, anecdotally, lots of people...

    Stampede Hotel | 45m | 12s | Truman | NORR

    I'm a fan. I had heard rumours of this one but heard it was only 6 floors so was expecting a cheapish looking wood frame hotel - this is much, much better than I expected.

    Riverview West 4th Avenue | 78.5m | 24s | Trico Homes | S2

    Honestly, for that partucular site, it's probably as good as it's going to get. I see it as excellent news thst they are still planning on building something. A 9 storey building of mediocre design is still better than a slightly better looking 24 storey tower proposal that never gets built. A...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    110-150m is impressive, and points to the Chinook area having the potential to developing into a proper "midtown" which would be really cool and would be evidence of Calgary's evolution into a true "big city".

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    It's quite remarkable how a couple of 6 storey wood frame buildings have made such a difference on 16th. With Jemm now seemingly underway, Sydney hopefully not far behind and the new proposal at the intersection of 6 St, plus let's not forget La Caille is proposing a couple of ~10 storey...
