    Stampede Station | 277.3m | 71s | Truman | NORR

    Mississauga has really weird urban design in general. Everything surrounds a massive mall with a giant surface parking lot. Giant towers that look out of place with streets designed for a suburb and unpleasant to walk on. Single family homes two blocks over. Suburban style office buildings with...

    I see the fieldhouse and recreation centres (GamePlan) being the next round of investment. There will also be a backlog of projects at the city, even if more funding magically appeared, there'd be more projects created so the backlog always exists. I didn't mention the Sunnyside flood barrier...

    Need a few more quarters to confirm, it's only been 0% for 1 quarter, YoY still 500k increase. Also need to have material changes to the LMIA and student visa programs that it doesn't just fill low wage jobs.

    General Construction Updates

    There's a pretty big gravel lot on 33rd, not sure if it's new. When we visited on a Friday afternoon, the lot was pretty empty, but the streets were clogged with commuters.

    Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    Just checked out some of the Utah videos, I didn't realize how extensive it was. Also points to having a passionate owner.. one day...

    "Health Canada wants to increase the use of this pathway, as well as improved data and work-sharing with regulatory partners, to facilitate approvals and access to needed drugs in Canada," the document added. With the US FDA going down the toilet, I hope we don't water down our own oversight of...

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    Flames taking a small gamble with only 1 NHL season, but with the cap going up, this is going to be a bargain in the UFA years if he keeps playing as well as he did last year.

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    Immigration is an issue nationally that can hopefully be reversed somewhat, but I'd hardly say Calgary "spent the bare minimum". Scotia Place, Arts Commons, new Olympic Plaza, Green Line (finally starting), Glenbow, Stephen Ave redesign, Marda Loop redesign (much hated, but the end result would...

    And people think it's just streetscape but the most time consuming part is all the underground stuff.

    Stampede Station | 277.3m | 71s | Truman | NORR

    Is this an office for the management of the W Hotel? Or is it an office building branded as W? I don't think most hotels have a separate management office?

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    The unemployment situation right now affects young people the most, and AB has one of the youngest population, highest participation, which is why we are high in unemployment. The unemployment rate for those 15-24 is 17%, while it's about 7% for those over 25. The high unemployment is driven...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    With the Green Line board disbanded and I think the CEO of the project left, whose running this thing? Is everything going to be voted on by council?

    Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

    It's also what those lanes could be used for. I'm pretty sure 11th street bike lanes aren't taking away any driving lanes, it'd just be parking if they removed the bike lanes. God forbid you gotta park on any of the adjacent avenues instead.

    Never attended, but saw ads on social media for investor events and conferences hosted by Truman in Mississauga, Ontario. This was when they were selling Lincoln.

    I'm doubtful on how much of this he can get done, and I'm unfamiliar with his previous years on council. However, having heard some of his post-council work, he seems like someone that isn't extremely ideological. With municipal politics turning into the provincial/fed left vs right and some...

    114 19th St NW | 12m | 3s | RNDSQR

    Rather they find a tenant than having it sitting for lease. Offices can also include lawyers, doctors, and other professional services, not necessarily a corporate office. There's quite a few retail space coming online in the area with the Frontier (1 CRU unleased) and West Nineteenth in a...

    General Construction Updates

    Officially this is the last construction season for this. But once Co-Op starts it's going to be another big closure in a pretty prominent location. The city seems to want to do Sunalta 10th Ave next for Main Streets. Probably makes sense to do a low-impact one after all the public blowback from...
