Thank god for the retail at the base. The major downside is that its for storage, so it will sit idle 99% of the time.

I get the sense that these towers will be charcoal aluminum panels, and won’t end up anything too special. Still, I’m happy about this, it’s a win overall with the disappearance of a dirt lot next to an LRT station, and the addition of more density near an LRT station.

I’m sure this topic will generate a lot of debate, for me this is more about understanding the carbon tax. I’ve seen so much debate on it recently, but I don’t know what stuff is true and what isn’t. So for me, personally, I’ve generally been a supporter of the carbon tax, but I admit, I don’t...

I really like this one. Nice, simple and elegant.

Agree that height has lost its lustre, but one or two really tall ones for Calgary would be nice.

Panorama Hills… phffff. The Beltine is probably past 30K by now and watching Panorama disappear in its rear view mirror.

Every time I pass the site there are workers and activity, but from the outside there isn’t any visible progress.

So disappointing to see suburban townhomes built on this location. Something this close of walking distance to an LRT station should be higher density and judging by their marketing website, the target clients aren’t the type to do any kind of walking to an LRT station, only driving their beemer...

Outside of the miss on the bike lanes, University District has been an major success in my opinion.

Pretty soon, Inglewood will have to change its name to the brewery district!

I’d rather they kept the old drive-through for the foreseeable future than have a new one for another 50 years. I have to admit, I use the drive through myself sometimes and it’s very convenient, but I would be quite happy had the city stood their ground on this one.

Edmonton fell behind Calgary? I didn’t know they were ahead, must have been before my time.

This building looks different in different lighting. It looks great in those last pics!

Lots of potential for that stretch of 17th. Would be nice to see a few larger, multi family projects get built in that area to help support the retail.

This is now quite noticeable from Memorial east or west bound.

This is the same architect that did Lynnwood Manor, which also has a corrugated panel material, so you can probably get a preview from what the material will look like on this one.

It’s better than I was expecting, and I agree, it’s nice to see some different materials on the exterior.

This coming Monday?

To the south of the proposed development is a retail centre that draws lots of traffic. Maybe the developer is looking to join in that traffic?

I’ve passed through University District a few times in this past month and I like what I am seeing. Every time I’ve been through, University Avenue has been busy. I think you’re spot on about the feel of it, it has a nice human, scaled feel to it. The density isn’t too high, and it’s not too low...
