    Stephen Avenue Place Revitalization | 155m | 40s | Slate

    Silver fascia and the wood soffit should help brighten it up methinks. I agree; it is a departure from the rendering. The spandrel above the glass shown here is silver/white and they installed something very dark (and much taller). I'll hold judgement until it's finished though.

    Transit gates - I have a friend who lives right behind them in Queensland. Have to go all the way around except the couple of times I've managed to sneak through haha.

    Max out the height limits along 36 ST to replace Marlborough & Pacific Place malls with some density.

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    3rd Ave makes sense - but would make even more sense if they could try to bring back the 1 ST SE cycle track too

    Infill Development Discussion

    Lol sure, but in addition to Crescent Heights and Rosedale, there is also Briar Hill, St Andrews Heights, Mount Royal, Scarboro, parts of Edgemont, parts of Ramsay (and I'm probably missing some more) that all have the same defining feature of being elevated and providing city & or mountain...

    RNDSQR Block | 44.8m | 12s | RNDSQR | 5468796 Architecture

    Here is the report commissioned by the BIA : https://drive.google.com/file/d/18E7_GM9QEp2jJ4rja9goqnZvRW-eiqC1/view They offer some really good illustrative analysis with pedestrian views, shadowing etc. It's pretty thorough and has some good points, but I disagree with most of the negative...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    Unbuilt Projects

    If these 2 are "twins" but the other 4 buildings are different - I'll take it. As long they aren't quadruplets too. Some diversity would be nice. Waterfront next door did not bad at this until the most recent phase that put up many buildings which look all too similar.

    BLVD Beltline | 118.87m | 37s | ONE Properties | Arquitectonica

    These are very plain square concrete boxes made more interesting with the exterior cladding and sub-set balconies. Quite a contrast from the very plain square concrete box made worse by the cladding and window placements on The Hub in NW.
