Las Vegas should be renamed ‘Lost Wages’ the place is ridiculous. I’m not talking lost wages due to gambling, I’m talking lost wages cuz it’s so freaking expensive.

Somebody voted yes? Lol

This turned out well. Just enough variation of materials to break up the monotony, yet not too busy.

Was by there today and didn’t see anything so unfortunately not.

Major turn of events, from a city that rarely built residential high rises to a city that built 141 over 25 years, with 20 still under construction! Actually 21 u/c, the 4th Deville tower is going.

I get It’s not to everyone’s taste, but at least it’s different. We have dozens of 5/1s that all look the same. It’s nice to have something different for a change.

Whatever path we take, the theme of the path needs to be us being less reliant on the US as a trading partner. Even if Trump is gone in 4 years, long term we need to diversify our trading partnerships. Those MAGA losers are going to go away.

I’m not talking about the city as a whole, only the 3357 being added to a relatively small core. For the whole city, yes, it’s not very much in a city growing as fast as Calgary.

Happy new year! It’s going to be a good one for us high rise development nerds.

Very impressive when you consider the size of Calgary and the fact we aren’t geographically locked like many other cities.

I agree. Hopefully with inner city neighborhoods on the rebound population wise the board will hang on to the schools from now on.

I wasn’t born in Canada, so maybe I don’t have a right to offer a say, however in my opinion decolonization is a ship that has sailed. I also don’t believe Canada needs to, or even can erase the last 300 or 400 years of European settler history. Acknowledge the bad treaties and mistreatment of...

The fact that Centre street already has those apartment buildings and dense areas is the reason we need to build there. It’s where the people are. The common TOD of high rises built on empty lots won’t happen on Centre, but we’ll get a higher number of smaller multi-family developments within...

I don’t know the definitions myself, but I would say deliverability scores higher due to it being cheaper and easier. I don’t argue it would be cheaper and easier, but often the better option is harder and costlier. Community well being? Not sure what that is, but if I had to guess it’s related...

Centre doesn’t have to be a pipe dream. We’re a big city now, so time to put the big boy pants on, and just do it. Building it through Nose Creek is 1980’s type thinking where the cheapest way was the best way.

It’s not the worst plan I’ve heard.lol In Adam McVicar’s tweet he says council is voting next week on whether transfer the project over to the province? What does that mean exactly?

Technically it’s not spandrel, but I know what you mean.

It’s a gray area, but with a manned pod, I think you could call it a tower crane. There’s not much difference from many of the luffing cranes usually on the list and that one at Emerald Sky.

Did I miss something? I feel like I’m in the wrong thread or something. I thought there was an update for the Oxford tower. Regarding the Oxford location. I hope someday there will be a redesign for a hotel/residential tower ~65 floors with a spire just tall enough to make it the new tallest.

I noticed a 5-6 storey building has been built immediately SE of the ring road / 17th ave SE intersection. Does anyone know what it is?
