Sad to see older/cheaper stock apartments going, but the result is a net gain of residential units. Units that will be older cheaper stock in the future.

I like this so far. 7/10 for me.

Still, this looks much better than some of the other conversions so far.

We’ve been through these arguments already, but as much as you hate cars, the fact remains, people who drive cars have a right to complain about construction. Cars and drivers are part of society. Why should cyclist have more of a right to complain about construction than drivers? Earlier you...

Toronto and Vancouver have been slowing down for the past 6 months or so. High cost plus slowdown in international immigration would be my guess.

Perfect fit for UD.

I would sum up Canada’s success to two things. Maturity, and coaching. We lucked out getting Marsch, I think he’s the biggest single difference.

The Bankview development at 23rd ave is missing from the list.

I went to the Canada section not too long ago and the hate against Calgary/Alberta/The west has dampened but mostly due to not many Calgarians/westerners posting. The bulk of posters are mostly the same people from east of Ontario, and to be honest I don’t think they want to hear from us...

Some retail in the centre of Bankview would transform the area.

Looks promising 6-7 floors mixed use is perfect for that location. And, wouldn’t it be great to finally get rid of that of that empty lot.

I was gonna say the same thing, but you beat me to it. As far as the first two lines go, Calgary hasn’t dropped the ball at all. The system is a major achievement for a city this size. The stuff Edmonton’s doing today was done here a long time ago. There’s no need for Calgary to build further...

That way it’ll be used more than 10 times a year.

What a great urban canyon along University Ave. I never expected University District to be this cool.

I think Nenshi would increase the NDPs chances. He wouldn’t cause them to lose any of the seats they won in the last election, but would give them a chance to win some Calgary seats that were close last election.

There is no buffer between the DIC and East Village. Even though there are buildings in between, they don’t act as a buffer. Also, this last tower that’s finishing construction is phase 2 of a project that started 7 years ago when East Village looked more promising. There hasn’t been any other...

It comes down to raw pricing, even though the price per square foot is quite high at UD, you can still pick up smaller units in the 300s or 400s whereas it’s very difficult to find that in Parkdale, at least in a new build.

A benefit of not having underground parking. That’s why the city needs to get off their archaic butt and either a) get rid of parking requirements or b) lower the parking minimums.
