I love the potential of this conversion. The financials won't make sense to convert the large floor plate Class AA/A office buildings, but there's still a decent amount of class B/C that will likely be converted over time. Especially if they run the risk of very limited occupancy over large...

Forgot to post - from last week.

Looks like RNDSQR acquired this vacant site in Inglewood...

Second floor already mostly done.

Drill on site today! Kensington's sure looking good!

Looks like this one's close to starting. The drive in from the airport via memorial continues to dramatically change (Inglewood, Bridgeland, Vic Park, East Village). The next third-phase development is also expected to be Bucci’s — its fourth in the Bridges after Radius and first-phase Bella...

Looks a bit busy, but can turn out to be very interesting. I like the rocky mountain edginess. These edgy/curvy designs with lots of glass/wood should be our architectural theme to target. Goes very well with our geography (mountains, hills, chinook winds). Stampitecture should be banned...

Part of it is the huge rental to condo conversion in Calgary during the 90's and 2000's plus higher ownership numbers here. During the boom years I remember reading through Altus reports which had Calgary about 3 to 4 times the amount of new inner-city condo sales than Edm. Other inner-city...

Looks great, love the set back design to act as a bit of a noise buffer given this fronts along 17th ave. Frank (Arlington) looks to be single handedly revitalizing this area of 17th between this, The Fifth and National Block. We could use a lot more. Still a lot of underutilized sites primed...

The more I reflect on it, the more I'd rather they built a few 15-25 story highrises that stagger down towards the river and with much better plaza space. These towers may stick out like a sore thumb being on the southern edge of downtown and the renders show terrible street level presence...

Awesome - I figure Harvard must have been looking for a development partner for a long time. Part of me cringed knowing one of the last prime sites in downtown was being held by a developer from Saskatchewan with little to no mixed-use/TOD experience. Shape isn't huge, but at least brings...

Voted yes and encouraged a few others to vote yes as well. Great leveraging opportunity. I don't know how any city builder would vote against it now that a lot of the wrinkles have been ironed out recently. Not expecting much though, as I'm sure the nimby/fiscally conservative crowds are out in...

This may have moved up to my most anticipated new development. Have they applied for a BP? Are these rentals or condos? This needs to happen - the north side of downtown desperately needs more vibrancy. Everywhere else besides the north side of downtown seems to be doing much better development...

Filling a big gap. They still targeting a grocery store? Area def needs one, Sunterra doesn't really count. Can't wait to see CMLC's rivers district master plan too.

Still surprising to me see to see so much new infill being built given our subdued economy. Was casually townhouse shopping in Killarney last week and so much new townhouses/duplexes out there. One thing for sure - we won't be experiencing any inner-city housing shortages anytime soon.

From last week

Yes 100% - this would be perfect. Can you send this to Druh Farrell/Nenshi? Noticed this building was undergoing reno's, looks like Strategic's converting to residential along with their Barron Building project. Pretty meh, but more residential across from the under construction 11th + 11th...
