So some rich people with secondary houses complained to our government along with with some towns like Kimberly and Cranbrook, complaing to their government but that’s not why BC chose to keep the borders open. It’s also not reason other provinces kept their borders open. Having a number of...

You're oversimplifying things. I agree wholeheartedly that Alberta could have done better but you're exaggerating things. The borders weren't left open for a few rich people with houses in BC. Is that why all the other provinces including BC left their borders open? Because of rich people with...

Geography and population are part it, among other things. Places like the Maritimes and New Zealand are examples of places that controlled the virus, but most places don't have the equivalent situation. If New Zealand was a province in the middle of Canada somewhere the story would have been...

Nice rundown. I didn't know we had all these statues around the city and the history behind some of them.

https://calgaryherald.com/life/homes/new-homes/sellers-market-emerges-as-more-homes-purchased-above-list-price-in-calgary The market has picked up in Calgary and across Canada. Part of it is pent up demand due to covid.

I Agree with you. Marda Loop tends to be a nice walking area overall, but has challenges with traffic on 33rd at times, and it's something that can be fixed if there's enough willpower.

I would imagine the price of an office tower in Calgary ain't what it was 10 years ago, or even 3 years ago. Remember the Bow costing a $1Billion to build? I don't know of any office building sales lately, but $120 Million for the Nexen tower seems doable. It's a 40 year old building with few...

Exactly what I was going to say. Overall the arena in Edmonton is pretty good, and is an upgrade from their previous arena, but there are lessons to be learned. I agree 100% about the cold sterile feel, and I'm not a fan of the tall buildings around it. They are part of the reason it has that...

They've made lots of progress on this even since the last update from Tuesday. I couldn't get a pic as I was driving, but it's well above grade, and starting on building up to the next floor.

Their lawyers will talk to the city's lawyers and something will be worked out. It would be nice if part of the area was developed, an the tax money from it, went into making it a developed park with a developed pathway that includes a tunnel under Centre street.

This has probably already been discussed, but is this going to be rentals?

Glad to see this is still going. For a while it looked stalled.

Turning out just like the renderings, I love it.

I don't expect to see the Genco tower go ahead anytime soon, but maybe we'll get lucky. It'd be a great spot for residential.

It has its drawbacks, but I do like the way the towers look in the skyline.

A couple more towers never hurt anyone. It's too bad these were being built somewhere in the core.

Looks like a Halloween shot!

I apologize if this has been asked already, but is it only the one tower getting built for now?

Checking in to see how sales are going? Thanks.

The difference in jobs from the UofA to the Uof C is really quite negligible in the grand scheme of things, when you're talking workforce pools nearing a million people. There's actually a much greater difference in job numbers between the two airports. The public sector in Edmonton is a...
