And Francesco’s also added to the list. 31 cranes now 😎

This one has grown on me, the only thing missing is a couple of other high rises around it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It’s ironic that they did the flip-flop. If I recall correctly, though the Kai towers were slotted to go where the Metropolitan building is today. The towers that were supposed to go in where Centre 10 is, were called Gateway Midtown.

I like this, the brick and the black is generally a timeless look. I’m also OK with this being a low rise near the LRT station. My own personal two cents here, but we’d be good to have a couple of high-rise cluster TODs with the rest being lower rise buildings. Brentwood and Chinook would be...

I would have no problem with that section of 16th Ave. going away. It’s not used for much other than parking, and could be used utilized much better

Too many people would complain about how it impacts vehicle traffic.

Good run down on our development trends. Whenever I get frustrated about development progress, it’s important to remember how far Calgary has come and where it’s going. This is what we’ve been missing and it’s exciting to see it finally happening and happening rapidly.

It’s pretty shocking looking at the price difference, but talking to my brother in law about it he says the $46 mil was GWOs break even price given the lease revenue over the years.

It’s a shame they aren’t going ahead with this. I won’t be surprised if another DP comes in for a larger project covering all 3 parcels.

An elevated station built into a new Eau Claire development could work. I’d prefer that option to an underground option where it comes out of the ground at Eau Claire and barely clearing the river pathway.

You’ll know better than I will on the likelihood of the city and province reconciling and I hope you’re right. I’d hate to see this project fall by the wayside due to politics and stubbornness. If you were to speculate on the outcome, is AECOM’s elevated option down 10th and 2nd street the...

I haven’t followed the project as much as others, but I thought the UCP wanted it to run from Seton to the envisioned grand central station. You’ve followed this a lot closer than I have, based on what you’ve seen or heard, do you feel confident the city and province will work this out before March?

Agreed, and it’s not the way we’ve done it in the past, and not the way it should be done but this is a new reality. This project was given the green light in 2017 and here we are in 2024 still nothing. The past, we didn’t have to rely on the UCP, but things have changed.

Agreed. It’s not much different than the city’s Lynnwood plan but it’s something the province would agree to and fund, seeing as they didn’t wanna fund the Lynnwood plan. I’ve been told but haven’t confirmed that the federal funding runs out in March if we don’t have an approved plan. If the...

Sovereign Nest Yellowstone Imperia Galleria Lincoln Francesco 526 4th I forgot about a couple of these towers! You know you're in a high-rise boom when..

Me too. It's a shame some of our good new developments are replacing older character housing rather than empty lots.

This won't be a popular take, but hear me out. With the feds funding contingent on having an approved plan by March, we go ahead and get this built from Seton(or Shepard) to Victoria Park, and get the phase through downtown built later. The reasoning a) That portion has to get built one way or...

The Flames are disappointing me again. I was hoping for them to tank this year and they can’t even do that! Lol Seriously though, the tank will come.

I’m kind of thinking the same thing. What business would be getting killed? There’s almost nothing of interest along 2nd st except for the Stephen ave intersection and not much along the 10th ave section except for the intersection where Galleria is going. The way 2nd street is designed there...

Underground would be the preferred choice if cost was no object, but for a city of 1.5 million with 2 existing lines to support, cost is a factor. We have 2 choices. 1) Go with elevated, which imo is a decent option and get it built. 2) Wait until the election, hope the NDP wins and hope they...
