It’s very ambitious. It’s a very small space. Nice to see it will be more than a chunk of grass.

The Fifth is being advertised as 1 and 2 bedroom Rental now. For Spring/Summer 2020. Seems quick for a building not started.

As buildings go, is this moving along at a good pace? I am watching it as rental option for me, for my move to Calgary next year. It’s right in the area I’ve been looking at buying or renting. Montana/Royal/Emerald part of the Beltline. Please, keep those updates coming ? Edit to add, Hmmmmm...

I pretty much have it narrowed down to The Montana, The Royal, or Emerald Stone. But with the prices still dropping and the Alberta economy so bad, I am now considering not buying right away. Since I need to be in Calgary by May, I might end up renting for a couple years and skip the ongoing...

I received an email the builder has released more units they were sitting on. Lower than the ridiculously optimistic priced ones on the mls. I know they have more unsold on higher floors as well. A bunch of owned units still sitting unrented at high prices as well. I am still possibly interested...

Does anyone know projected completion?

I have been crunching numbers for rent vs buying and I would say the rents are not covering the costs. Not when factoring in carrying costs, condo fees/maintenance/insurance, property tax, and property value is likely to decline instead of appreciate going forwards for likely many years. I’d...

Not only a public realm, but also the only way to walk between the Downtown core and the Beltline that I could see. I could choose to skirt around parks in the evening, but I had no choice except to to use an underpass to get across 9th ave. It leaves you trapped in a very narrow area between...

Definitely don’t want any seats or benches. Would encourage “permanent residents”. Underpasses were the most unsafe feeling spots of my visit when I walked the entire Beltline/Downtown several times. People panhandling, a group of drunks acting out, garbage, and piss and puke... oh my. I’d say...

Battistella seems to have built some nice buildings. Most reviews have been quite positive overall.

I had a look at while in Calgary. Has anyone lived in a place with exposed concrete flooring and ceilings? Do they hold stains? Like grease in the kitchen or front entrance dirt? Does the sound bounce to much? Does the surface hold up? It’s not like it can be changed out like typical flooring...

I had a look at while in Calgary. Has anyone lived in a place with exposed concrete flooring and ceilings? Do they hold stains? Like grease in the kitchen or front entrance dirt? Does the sound bounce to much? I’ve seen it done pretty bad in 6th and 10. Rough surfaces and multiple shades...

Which floor plan is this? It looks like a corner unit?

Safety IS important to me. As women go, I am tiny. I do understand and accept that core city living is not going to be as safe as a sleepy suburb. Secure parking and a secure building is a must have. I’m not particularly scared about living in a big city, and I do intend to be very much out and...

Everything I’ve heard about the Royal and from what I can see online, it’s my top pick at this point. I won’t really know until I see the actual areas, as I’m not that familiar with Calgary. I have high hopes for this one!

I wasn’t aware of Ven, thank you.

The interior exposed concrete is my major dislike looking at pics.

Thank you. I will read all the threads on those buildings if I haven’t yet. Is the bottle depot around 6th and 10th still there? It’s mentioned as a concern in the thread for the building.

Thank you! I’m not surprised they are similar as they both seem the best to meet my desires. I’m super active and interested in experiencing all the city has to offer. But down the road I would like to be able to give up my vehicle and have easy access to transportation and amenities.

Good morning. Looking for feedback from anyone owning in this building. Pros and cons thus far. It’s at the top of my short list along with Park Point for when I travel to Calgary next week to look for a new build condo. I have read every post in this thread, but have never been to it or the...
