    Farm | 11m | 2s | Rkays | MoDA

    This intersection had so much promise, with proposals at three corners. Now it has a surface parking lot and two paused/cancelled projects with uncertain futures.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    ^^^This. Edmonton disproportionately benefits from a higher concentration of provincial government jobs. A similar argument can be made re: how other provinces also disproportionately benefit from federal government jobs compared to Alberta.

    East Riverside Project | 52m | 16s | Bucci Developments | Casola Koppe

    Approved (by me). Now put the shovels in the ground.

    General Construction Updates

    I think this is exciting! I can't wait to have a second rink in the immediate neighbourhood! Would love for the City to take on improving/replacing the pool next.

    I think it’s hard to parcel out small size CRUs in 5+1’s. What Leonard has done is create opportunities for small businesses, because they can reduce their overhead by right-sizing their space so the aren’t having to pay huge rents. I’ve used this word before, but what makes Leonard’s...

    Agreed. Those panels look decent. Hope this turn out better than the renders.

    I’m wondering if it could be a tech company?

    EV606 | 22m | 6s | Alston Properties | ATLRG

    It looks a little drab on a grey day, but looks nice with a blue sky and the city skyline behind it.

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    Blanket re-zoning may be gone, unless the fiscally conservative amongst the council members votes with the progressives, assuming there is some sort of forfeiture of funding from the Feds. I could see Main Streets being on the chopping block, or at least I could see a reduction in funding for...

    East Village Truman Hotel | 24m | 6s | Truman | NORR

    If this had been a residential building, I think I would have had more of an issue with the walled courtyard, but because it's a hotel, I think this is the type of hotel experience that is somewhat lacking in downtown Calgary. I don't love it, but given the location, I can also understand the...

    Crane Count

    Not sure if it’s on here, but there is a crane up at the Sarina Homes Richmond Green site.

    Right?!!! I would love to own a piece of Canadian history, especially one as beautiful as some of those paintings.

    I really want the DT bay to be used for a public use. If Glenbow wasn’t already under renovation, I feel like they could have stayed open while renovating this property then doing a big move. Speaking of the HBC and art, a bunch of HBC’s art is going up for auction...

    Calgary Municipal Politics

    I held my nose and voted Farkas. I’m not sure a tiger can change its stripes, but frankly, I didn’t want Sharp to win (I reject party politics at the municipal level). I think Farkas will have to take a different approach to being a mayor than he did as a councillor, because he’s actually going...

    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    Looks great! Should age well! I hope the sign on top is neon, or at least back lit!

    The Gryphon | 22.7m | 6s | Mancal | LOLA

    This lot had so much potential. What a waste!

    Lots of great design elements on this one. I feel like this one is so close to being good.

    Nari | 24m | 6s | FAAS Architecture

    I agree that this location does not warrant such a reduction in on-site parking. Even though this location is close to the 7, 13, and 22, the 7 is really the only reliable bus here. I filed a complaint this week about the frequency of the 22 in the evening rush hour. I waited >1 hour for the...

    New project coming to Marda Loop at 14A St and 34 Ave SW: “NARI” Looks like a nice little development with inset balconies, which I like. https://www.ournari.ca/ https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-04791
