I went to the lilac festival, and buzzing is a good way to describe it. Super busy, and if I’m being honest, may be a bit too busy.
Either way, it’s nice to see so many people downtown out and about.
I went past there this evening, the area was buzzing with people, mostly due to the ice cream shop, but there were a few people hanging in front of 19+2. 19th is turning into a nice little high street, it only needs a couple more developments to flesh it out.
Someone mentioned COOP dissolved the relationship with Quarry Bay. Hopefully they pick a company with a track record. RioCan would be a decent candidate.
I got it from this site. I don't know where they got the numbers from, it might be only an estimate on their part.

It shows Calgary as being 1,640,000,000 for 2023.
That’s my prediction also. Edmonton will stay close but lose ground most years, and every once in a while Calgary will mop the floor with them like they did last year. In 10 years Calgary will be 250k larger and will start pulling away.
YYC stats for 2022 show 14.5M passengers for the year, meaning it's at 81% of what it was pre-pandemic. YYC still isn't showing the stats for December on their website yet.

I'm going to go against the grain. Although I like the design shown by SP better, I don't dislike this design.
One advantage of having the exterior balconies is it doesn't take away any of the interior space. If I were a resident there, I'd prefer this design.
Whatever happens, cold garden, and old, beautiful will be fine. The vast majority of customers they have either walk or cycle there. If anything they will benefit from having 12 stories of residential plus a fire station across the street.
As for the residence of the community, they have no...
I’m undecided about the bright, pink and purple. Once a few other buildings are filled in along 26th, the bright colours will be a nice fresh, take against the inevitable taupe and beige buildings.
This would work perfectly, the only thing I’d change is the parkade. I’d leave it as surface parking containing about 300 spaces and go back to charging 3 dollars. Also I’d have the parking lot on the farthest end and have the housing the closest to the station.
I got a real laugh out if the comments in article comment section. Looked like most of the comments were from one person with multiple user names. Lol.
