    Calgary Skylines

    Still the tallest... if you crop enough. Full shot. Must be a grand view indeed...at least from the other side.

    General Construction Updates

    More of a skyline shot, but a few under construction.

    4th Street Lofts | 97m | 29s | Western Securities | Gibbs Gage

    Looking decent in the skyline.

    The Loft | 44m | 11s | Institutional Mortgage Capital

    That actually looks pretty solid.

    Finally a fresh concept for a mural.

    Library Square | 21m | 6s | Bankside | LOLA

    I know the neighborhood circumstances don't lend itself well to it now, but man, talk about a perfect spot for a European-style outdoor cafe or restaurant etc.

    You're not the only one, the size looks way too big to me as well (having said that I haven't seen it in person).

    Can we hand the lot over to the Vesta crew for a few years?

    I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to think the Vic park barns are just fine.

    I've tried to submit a couple of proposals for government contracts before, and just the process of submission alone made my brain hurt. It was needlessly byzantine, and this was for a relatively simple graphic design project... I can't even imagine what it's like for something like a building.

    If only it was white brick, that would be the ultimate.

    Inglewood Fire Hall Development | 42m | 12s | RNDSQR | S2

    Sucks, but residential above a fire station always seemed a bit of an odd proposition to me.

    What's the price on that sucker? Looks great, but not sure that's in the cards.

    Arts Commons | 18m | 4s | City of Calgary | KPMB

    A bigger plaza around the library sounds nice in theory, but I'm glad they didn't got for it as I think it would've ended up being an empty wasteland. Apart from the library itself, what exactly would be the draw to hang out at that location? Every successful plaza has a perimeter of things that...

    4th Street Lofts | 97m | 29s | Western Securities | Gibbs Gage

    Ha, yeah I guess it's all relative to the market and one's personal expectations within that market. Compared to what you see in Edmonton or Saskatoon or something, this is still pretty good. Compared to what you typically see in Vancouver or Toronto, this is pretty mediocre. This is probably an...

    Calgary's Residential Highrise Boom 2000 - 2025 and Beyond

    Honestly it looked pretty bad from day 1. If they at least went all-in on the "chateau" look with nice materials/details, that would be one thing...but it's always looked like a cheap stretched version of a 90's McMansion.

    I was expecting 2 banks and 3 Shoppers Drug Marts.

    906 Office Conversion | 80.5m | 22s | Makan Properties | Zeidler

    I'm not as excited about the design as the rest of you (looks a little overwrought to me) but should be an upgrade nonetheless.

    Im not really seeing the issue with giant banners. If those are designed nicely, those can be effective too.
