Stage one is a go. 15 stations and 20 Kms of track. Approved to go ahead back in June. Expected opening 2027

For starters. You stop building new stuff before flood mitigation is completed. East Village is insanity.

Unfortunately I’ve experienced multiple 1/100 year events in just a few years. I’m not believing it anymore. All I can say is if you want to live by the river, RENT on a high floor. You might lose your vehicle and storage in the underground, but otherwise at least you can recover your things...

Insurance. If you can get it. Might and I mean that sparingly, work once. Then what? You are stuck with an uninsurable property or astronomically expensive insurance. Or the city bails you out. Again. But you are still stuck with an uninsurable property. Almost impossible to sell and close to...

Yet to construct is the operative word now, isn’t it? All those new houses rebuilt in the lower part of Fort McMurray because a berm was promised to be built. Then put off and off and now oops underwater. Again. And nothing to stop being underwater again next year. Most cities and towns ARE on...

As someone who has been burned and then flooded out of Fort McMurray...why does Calgary encourage new development at the water and in flood plains? Even after your 2013 flood. It baffles me.

I believe I was googling information about recently built or soon to be built condos around the beltline. Debating about buying between several. The Royal, The Montana, Smith etc. I was very interested in The Royal, but there was little information out there as it was just being built. This site...

I literally walked by and checked an hour ago. Because it annoys me they can’t seem to make this tiny promised park. It’s still ugly gravel and weeds. With two small pieces of equipment sitting in the middle. Which is something I guess. But come on, it’s been two years.

How is it that two towers with translucent ethereal tops now resembles the black gate of Mordor?

And the trash! The ground around these derelict buildings and parking lots is covered in weed entangled discarded clothes, food packages, needle/saline tubes. It looks awful.

Given the price difference of buying a one bed over a two bed. The return on a one bed would be higher, would it not? The purchase price spread is significantly greater than the rental price spread. In many buildings, the two beds only rent for a couple hundred more than one beds but cost...

Special assessments that add no value to a complex because they are repairing design flaws or shoddy work, is lost money. The asset doesn’t gain any value, and it is also stigmatized. Worse, if instead of a one time SA, they absorb the costs by jacking up the condo fees. Then you can’t sell it...

The Barron springs to mind 😡

It’s a young Vincent Van Gogh.

I had a look at that flood wall today about 2 hours before you posted the photo. One day we are going to cross paths. I walk and walk and walk like you do. I was really pleased to see they removed all of the ugly concrete from the river they used as a temporary barrier. It was such an eyesore.

I live near the building and I see people working on the interior when I walk by it. Nothing open or hints to what goodies might be inside. Fingers crossed.

I’m not at all surprised about the Mount Royal London Drugs closing. You can pretty much get everything it carries at the near by Shoppers, Canadian Tire, Best Buy or Urban Fare. And all of those are nice, bright, clean, new feeling stores. I went into the LD last week for the first time, and...

I agree there are some really awful floor plans in some of the newer buildings. Shove 2 bed 2 bath in 451 sq ft because it looks like good value on paper...looking at you N3. Units with only one window in the entire 2 bed 2 bath unit...looking at you Colours. Doors blocking showers and no...

My cost above was one way. Both Westjet and Air Canada still want $700-$1000+ for round trip Calgary to Fort McMurray. Ridiculous. So I will keep driving. Zero sympathy.

I walk by this one on my way to the C-Train. Always look at it. It has character. Says 1912 on the building, not sure if it has a name.
