Now open. I look forward to the first forumer snapping a picture with their drink from the rooftop patio. https://calgary.citynews.ca/2025/06/19/calgary-office-to-hotel-conversion/

I don't think these renders are new but the project is now being promoted by the CMLC's East Village accounts across social media. Hopefully thst means construction is close.

Heard through the grapevine the official opening of Eau Claire Plaza is July 2nd although there may be a soft opening before that.

No mention of public art in the article and nothing in the rendering. Wasn't this the site that was supposed to have the funky magpie statue?

Agreed. The 3rd Ave cycle track should have served as the high speed cyclist bypass to this section of pathway. It's a shame the City caved and took it out after it had already been installed. I also agree that the pathway curve was likely a design choice to slow cyclists. If the pathway...

That pool deck should offer an epic view of the fireworks during Stampede. If it is heated to the point where people can be comfortable swimming at night while the fireworks are going off, I can see it being an Instagram-able photo moment that goes viral enough to fill the hotel based on that alone.

This should be a great patio in the summer time. https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2025/06/calgarys-newest-rooftop-restaurant-and-bar-bow-bend-set-to-open-downtown-in-early-summer/

What were these amendments and would they have actually helped spur more development? Happy to see the Communities First people get called out since they seem to be the most hypocritical people on council as their speaking points are all about cutting red tape and building homes and yet the...

It feels like the street level is rather boring and repetitive, especially for Inglewood's mainstreet. It would be nice if they could have worked some of the arched flourishes that they have on the top floor into the ground floor as well. They kind of did it for the one corner of the building...

Whatever the fake wood was that was used for Le Germain has aged really well. Hopefully this will be something similar

Are there any shadowing protections for Riley Park? I'm all for continuing to add density in this area but at the risk of sounding like a NIMBY, I also don't want to see anything that diminishes our limited inner city parks.

Sand and umbrellas added to the Eau Claire Plaza beach chairs. I'm actually starting to get excited about seeing this space fully opened. I think we will all be pleasantly surprised...

The vibrancy used to go pretty late into the night on Friday and Saturdays when the street was completely closed to cars. When Terry Wong became Councillor he pushed to have it reopen to vehicles after 6pm again and it's killed off a lot of that vibrancy again because instead of people hanging...

Stephen Ave streetscape improvements kick off in July. Just like the businesses in this article, I too have mixed feelings about the decision to move the patios into the middle of the street. https://calgaryherald.com/news/whats-next-stephen-avenue-downtown-calgary

White's Flowers has been my go-to for years. Plus 1 on the loss of independent businesses. I do like the building and the design though.

The lawnchairs are some fun additions to the slowest moving urban renewal project in the city...

8th Street officially starts construction this summer so definitely that one.
