It's a little thick for a 30-ish storey building, but that's really my only gripe...overall I think it's going to be a good looking building.

That's actually some very impressive numbers. Unless Ottawa beats us, which I dont think they do, what is the next-smallest North American metro with more people living in its downtown? Probably Vancouver?

Interesting how the types of housing varies so broadly between the cities. It actually shows how the big eastern cities really don't have great housing variety and all with almost no suites (Toronto heavy on stacked towns, Ottawa with rowhouses and Montreal heavy on apartments and stacked...

Now that Munro is nearing completion, we should place bets on which finishes first - Harmony or the Event Centre...

Correct, no alley.

DP2025-06096, architect is Zeidler. Height is 51m based on the drawings.

DP has been submitted. The design is pretty much as shown in the renders with some slight changes.

Sounds like they are already negotiating with potential tenants, which is a very good sign.

100%!

Don't forget Nest! Ever since 6 storey wood frame became a thing, my brain differentiates based on concrete vs wood frame rather than tower vs midrise.

A lot of conservative-leaning people seem to place a lot of importance on sports. I think the fieldhouse will see broad support across council.

The real test will be if any of these projects break ground!

Actually, good point about the patio area - as currently planned it'll be in shade almost all the time. I still think the overall project is a big win, and I am confident the planning department will work with them to improve the interface with the riverfront. And I absolutely love the...

To the point of rejected ballots - this might be a controversial opinion, but if someone who doesn't have a disability is incapable of figuring out how a ballot works, and doesn't mark it correctly, I'm fine with their vote not counting. But on the topic of the shift back to hand counting, I...

Happy Friday! DP for yet another hotel coming to Calgary, developer is...Truman! More badly needed development in East Village. I'm a fan.

Anyone know when the recounts will take place? I assume it needs to commence right away since I believe swearing in takes place on the 29th. I don't expect the mayoral result to switch but that Ward 12 result is close enough where a recount could flip the ward.

NIMBYs gonna NIMBY...

I believe the main threshold is a vote share difference of 0.5% or less. If Ward 9 was higher than that, perhaps there were insufficient other criteria to justify a recount? If i recall correctly, the other wards were a few hundred votes between candidates by the end, whereas Ward 12 was really...

I think an opponent can ask for a recount if the difference is less than 0.5%, as Sharp has done. Certainly applies in the Ward 12 case, not sure if the gap is narrow enough for a recount to be on the table in Ward 1. But I think the defeated candidate has to ask for the recount, and so far...

Hopefully if they are going through all the trouble of a name change, they're still contemplating construction.
