I'm happy with this design as shown in the rendering. If it gets VE'd, than who can say, but as it is now in the rendering it looks good to me.

Exactly. And also I kind a wish that some of these small buildings could stay as office buildings. I know it’s more difficult to convert big office buildings (WCP for example) to residential but, but I’d prefer to see that rather than three or four small boutique buildings.

I agree, it certainly would look better with a some trees around it.

At the time I thought it was a good deal, but it looks looking like a shitty deal now.

I really like this.

The 2-3 block stretch of Centre in that area has great potential. It would be nice if they could convert that white office building in the background to residential, get rid of the parking lot and put in retail that goes up to the street level.

I’m anxious to see what the upper portion exterior material looks like. The new reality for Development projects these days is Tyvek will be the exterior material for quite some time while we wait for rest of the material. Lol

I like skyscrapers to, but I like them more when they weren’t so many on the planet. There have been so many supertalls built in the last 20 years I don’t even keep track of them anymore. They aren’t near as majestic as they used to be. It feels like it’s harder to build a nice mixed used...

That’s a valid point. The bridge itself is fairly simple, but with the right colouring it can be a simple, elegant bridge. Welcome to the forum!

By ‘false starts’ you mean the bold face lies by the realtor that it has started? Lol

The only thing that was holding my interest for this tower was that it was a new tallest. Now that it’s not going to be, I have no interest in seeing it built. The extra residential density would be nice, but there are better ways to accomplish the same thing. The last thing our downtown needs...

How long is the Neo lease at the Bay? Even if this goes ahead it probably won’t be ready for tenants until five years from now.

Only my two cents, but thumbs up usually means you’re good to go, something like that, and govertical is a chill poster. It’s just a misunderstanding folks. How about they gorgeous weather outside! 😎

I was joking around poking fun at the stereotypes.

That’s a good way to describe it. The people aren’t overtly rude or anything just not very friendly. Even being Chinese Canadian I don’t feel like I fit in with the Asian community there. I’m not rich enough for the Asian community, and I’m not a hippie enough for the white community lol 😂

I went to school I Vancouver and quite liked the city. As a person of Asian background, I was fitting in easily and in general it was a nice place to live. I had considered moving there different times, but have no interest anymore. It has changed over the years and not for the better, but for...

There might be more demand going forward.

Very solid.

I find these types of articles frustrating for a few reasons. We need to get away from the Richard White boosterism, but for constructive criticism to be useful it needs to be valid and on point. Making broad generalizations that Calgary is overtly racist or a quadrant of Calgary is racist or...

I have Chinese relatives that have lived in Japan, it’s not a country you want I live in if you’re not Japanese. I’m not sure it’s best even for Japanese people. Don’t they have like the highest suicide rate?
