CMLC should hire Surrealpaces and use his plan.

Love the design!

Is this for North hill mall or Northland 😉

Those vines are Poison Ivy, it’s security against the Apha House people.

Moving quickly!

This almost seems stalled. There is some progress, but very little.

We have enough prairie in and around Calgary, but we don’t have enough trees. I don’t have any issue adding more trees to Nose hill. It would be nice to have some trees picnic areas, I mean right now it’s not very useful overall and as been said already there is so much open prairie up there...

Why do we need to close down roads? Nobody wants that. Many of us would like to see downtown roads made nicer and more pedestrian friendly, but nobody is advocating closing them. Some would like to see cars go away altogether, but it is never going to happen. Cars are here to stay forever, you’d...

I’m really liking those copper accents against the black.

That’s looks fair to me. If not a change to the tax system, some other type of incentive is needed. It’s great they were building piles of multi family in the new neighborhoods, and density is better than the previous suburbs, but it’s still sprawl and still adds to the city’s costs.

Absolutely not.

We already do that, that’s what zoning is. It’s not perfect, but it’s still needed. High rises around some of the stations is fine, but I also would like areas that are smaller buildings. My favorite LRT station area by far is Sunnyide, I’d like to see more stations with that kind of vibe.

On its own the materials are bland, but a collection of buildings like this will make for a good streetscape.

A single project like that would be an epic transformation for Calgary and I would love to see that happen, but, Even with the CPR tracks moved and if we didn’t have to worry about remediation, there aren’t enough Calgarian’s who think outside of the box to see a vision like that come to fruition.

Hey all, QQ. Has there been any discussion on some tall residential buildings near the stampede grounds? A friend of mine in Vancouver mentioned some very tall apartment buildings going in near the stampede grounds that would be the tallest residential buildings if built, or maybe the tallest...

I really like this one. Those rounded brick corners will never go out of style.

I’ve been to Tokyo a couple of times, once was staying with a friend who is way off in the far flung suburbs, and once was more central in an area called Ueno. Ueno is a good spot, but from what I’ve seen in Tokyo if you can stay in one of the central prefectures, it doesn’t matter where you...

I’m excited for all these towers set to go up, both excited and intrigued by all these small multi-unit development popping up everywhere.

I would bet money we won’t see anything towers over 20 floors go into University district.

I think he’s agreeing with you 😉
