I used to love supertalls and high-rises. It's what got me into these forums in the first place, but these days I couldn't care less about supertalls, especially the ones in Asia, where they all blend together into oblivion. I'm enjoying watching a couple of the Toronto ones go up The One and...

The cycle track is on both sides for 2nd street.

It doesn’t matter what continent you look at, there isn’t a global standard for all housing. High end builds in Asia, Middle East, Latin America etc are better than First and Park, but the other 95% of all housing is of lower standard. From a quality standpoint First and Park is close to where...

1200 new units in 12 years is some solid and steady growth. Especially when you consider most of it is within a a block or two of 10th St. If Kensington could continue to add an average of 100 units per year, it’ll do very well, although I would like to see that more like 200 a year 😊

Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a happy new year to all. May 2024 bring happiness and prosperity … and some new multifamily developments!

I’m not at all on the fence over whether to cheer for them to win, or to lose. After about the first two weeks, I’ve been solidly in the camp of cheering for them to lose. There is nothing to gain by having them win games at this point. I mean the best case scenario is they make the first...

I respectfully disagree. Why not make the zoning changes across-the-board, it doesn’t cost anything to upzone throughout the city. I understand how you feel, and I also think that the many of the outer suburbs are lost causes, but any increase in densification to those neighbourhoods is still...

Looks solid enough.

If 11th street underpass has two lanes for vehicles I’m not going to lose sleep over it, but it would be a progressive move for the city to make it only cycle/pedestrian.

I think the title of the thread is based more on nature of the conversation before the posts were moved to this thread. Lol

I hope it doesn’t sit an empty lot for too long.

Did we actually do that?

I think it’s a fair comment. The unfortunate design of 26th 33rd Richmond Road and Crowchild gives the area poor access. An off ramp on southbound Crowchild into the development and an offramp lane coming out as a development on southbound Crowchild might make a big difference, and having 25th...

Agreed, but is the BMO centre where the focus should be? We are doing that by building up the rivers, pathways and parks. Projects like refreshing Stephen Ave Mall, or the latest plan to upgrade the river section near Louise bridge or smaller projects like Humpty Hollow Park are the kinds of...

Outside of Vancouver’s frontage being on the harbour, there’s nothing particularly better about it and it’s no less sterile than any other convention center I’ve been to. As far as retail goes, convention centres are exactly what they are, convention centers. Expectations the building will be...

Personally, I’d rather we spent the money now and did the tunnel under 9th ave, even if it meant, roughing in a station and finishing the station later. My concern is the same as the others, I can’t imagine the cost and hassle of trying to do it 20 years from now when we can spend the...

I don’t love the design, but I’m happy with it. For me it checks 3 boxes, one it adds density to the area and two, it interacts well with 17th. Three, the high portion of it is on the south side so as to not shadow 17th. Those are all I really care about.

I’ve talked to several people about this and everyone has a different opinion. Some people don’t have a clue, and it’s obvious from their opinions, but I’m curious what people think about this?

I don’t know the name if the shrub, but I like red. We don’t see enough if that in Calgary. Post it in Reddit, someone will know.

For sure, but I expect that after more if this goes up in the area, it’ll increase as a dense power node and the momentum will bring some bigger projects.
