I haven’t been to Whiskey rose , but that is the case with Hudson House.

As a young adult, I might as well throw in my two cents. I have gone to some of those clubs a few times here and there, I found it just wasn’t my scene and it’s the same for a lot of other people I know who are around my age. A couple of reasons, is that it’s usually too loud to have any kind...

Looks similar to a 'mid-town' skyline of a large US city.

Priorities have changed for sure, I don’t think anybody needs to buy a house nowadays, and it's more normal in Calgary to have the choice of renting or buying. I don’t want to date myself here but I bought my first house in 1990. A shit box of a place in Temple, but it was cheap and it was an...

I always feel that real estate is much more expensive for the average person today, but Surrealplaces makes a valid point. In order to qualify for a house today or 20 years ago you still need to have your mortgage payment be less than a 35% of your net income. That said, I think house prices on...

Quebec reported over 6300 today! 😮Manitoba, over 400, a huge bump from the last couple of days. We are def going to get blasted by this in Alberta.

Those listed are ones under construction or planned correct? There are also others that have already been built. There’s one up near Sundre somewhere that I have driven past a few times.

I imagine things will pick up for Edmonton’s core. It’s been a much slower go than in Calgary, but I remember Calgary had a tough go of it 20 years ago and now look at how far Calgary has come! Ottawa is an interesting case, a lot of high-rises are being built there but a lot of them, probably...

When these two towers are completed, along with the two Wellings towers, and the residential building at Stadium shopping cente, The northwest will be the quadrant with the most high risers outside of the core.

Agreed.

Calgary’s kicking ass and taking names.

Maybe after the Hat on 14th is finished, they might start in this one.

I'm with you on this one. A few apartment towers thrown in near the train station is fine, but it doesn't need to be 2 dozen highrises. A well thought out plan of mid and low rise buildings would be better.

I didn't see this in earlier posts, so I apologize in advance is this was discussed earlier, but does anyone know when they are expected to break ground?

I like those Montreal apartments, they're very practical, and have a cool funkiness to them, but... To be honest the front stairwells are butt ugly, and almost always the area around them is cluttered. Is the reason they don't do them anymore an aesthetics issue? If you're planning a new...

At least the tree planting area is open soil. They might even survive.

At times Calgary's urban development has been frustratingly slow, but whenever I see the library I'm given hope for the future.

What's top golf?

Could always end up looking overall decent like this one https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0429671,-114.0854213,3a,90y,184.99h,102.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQFzEK3YYXVU0aUSZiV1O3g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
