    Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    Having that on the outside of the building would be pretty sweet. We already know going in, that LEDs will burn out, this looks a good solution.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    Yes and no. Surprising in that Edmonton is around the same population as Calgary, and also they had a bigger apartment building culture than Calgary did going back several decades, as many of the high-rises in Oliver were built in the 60's and 70's. Flipside, I'm also not surprised as the...

    That's about as dismal as it gets weather and sky-wise, and it still looks good. Imagine the view on a nice summer evening!

    That would be awesome if it did start up.

    Scarboro 17 | 15.85m | 4s | Bow Developments

    I don't know if they do all of the Calgary projects, but they have done a lot of them, and they've been around for a while. Mostly suburban stuff, but lately they've been doing lots of inner city projects.

    I like the look of these metal panels on buildings, but considering modern day technology, can they not stop the panels from warping?

    Is there a rendering for codetta?

    With dedicated bike lanes on both sides, and a few multifamily developments, 24th will have a completely different look and feel in a few years compared to a couple of years ago.

    I think the city needs to take a radical approach and make 16th ave a slower thoroughfare. Add more traffic lights, and add a lane of street parking on each side. It would transform the avenue into a decent high street very quickly.

    Work in IT, here in Calgary. I've lived here most of my life after moving here with my parents from SE Asia. I've lived in Vernon and Vancouver for brief periods also, but Calgary is my home. I'm still not used to winters in Canada/Calgary, but aside of that I like everything about Calgary. It's...

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    I think there are a lot of undecided voters doing the same thing, waiting until close to voting time. That latest poll will start to shake things up, I'm curious to see what the next poll will look like.

    28% unsure. I wonder if Farkas is capable of getting many of those votes?

    So nice to see this going ahead. It'll be a nice boost for the west Beltline.

    16th Ave is a true disaster. With the ring road complete, maybe it's time the city thinks outside the box does something radical with 16th. Close down a lane on each side and expand the sidewalks?

    Park Central | 138m | 40s | Hines | S.C.B.

    It's exciting to see all these new towers starting up. Any rumors or bets on what might be the next tower to go ahead?

    I'm liking everything about this. The materials, the general shape and look of it. Totally turning out better than the renderings.

    Scotia Place | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    It's pretty weird when you think about it. Buildings like Maple Leaf Gardens, etc... lasted for decades, but these days they don't last more than 30 or 40 years.These days it's all about keeping up the Joneses, and that private box revenue. My hope is now that every NHL city will have newer...

    Glad to see this one still in play. It'll compliment Theodore nicely.
