Calgary will be the biggest metro 10 years from now. There’s little chance it won’t be. 20 years down the road, who knows anything can happen, but my feeling is that once Calgary adds Okotoks and foothills MD, etc the gap will be too big for Edmonton to catch up. If you had asked me this 10...

There's something about brown colored glass that instantly makes me think of the 80's I agree the street level sort of has this kind of vibe other than that, the design is a huge improvement.

Calgary's inner core is coming along well. There is still more improvement needed, but it's trending in the right direction.

All around good project. Nice to see University Avenue fill up with proposals.

In news somewhat related to US politics, did anyone else see that Tucker Carlson got the boot yesterday?

^^^I like it. They're keeping the original look.

I'll throw in my predication for Calgary - 41K

Halfway through the third I thought - here we go again :( I left the game to go pick up my daughter and when I got back I saw they had won :)

I saw the west side of the building in the sun yesterday and it looked good. Not as shiny as some might have expected, but it looked good IMO. I'm feeling much more confident about how the final product will look.

It’s unfortunate, but it happens. Usually, I find the smaller businesses that get wedged out end up somewhere else in the city.

Are there any plans to do anything with the lot, after demolition?

A rooftop patio pub would be great.

It’s green space, but it’s not usable. From what I remember it’s all cemetery’ space. If I had it my way I would develop half of it, and convert the other half to park space.

I agree with Alex, if we’re going to revitalize, now is the time to do it. It’s much easier to revitalize a Downtown that’s already half revitalized, then it is trying to revitalize one that’s dead. We’re at a dangerous point right now with downtown, if we let it go it could sink to a point of...

The Habs would be a good fit, but they’re still early in their rebuild. If they were two years further in, Huby would be a great fit.

Calgary has a little over a half million dwellings and at five dollars a month that would be around $12 or 13 million a year (rough estimate of course). If 2000 trees cost the city $90,000, you could easily do 200,000 trees in one year. That would be far more than people would need, but the city...

5/1s will become popular in tropical countries too. They’re the way to do density without building high rise towers and is a decent compromise for buyers and builders. I’ve seen them in Malaysia and Indonesia. Different style of buildings that look more like a 1990s pointe of view project, but...

Great photos Urbanwarrior. Looking forward to summer!

If business demand is there, the owners of the Backlot should be able to set up again in a new location.
