Good point. People from Edmonton or Winnipeg can hate on Calgary or WestJet for creating the current situation, but it’s no different for people in Ottawa or QC with AC routing all their traffic through Montreal. If Westjet wasn’t routing 8 flights a day of traffic from Winnipeg through Calgary...

Hopefully you’re not like some of the SSP Edmonton forumers who are purposely avoiding YYC even if it means more money or an inferior schedule lol. With YYC handling 18 million passengers a year, they aren’t going to notice the absence of a half dozen disgruntled forumers. You can avoid YYC if...

Some smaller projects not mentioned are Palfreville apartments (20 units) home space in 14th street (27 units) and the one immediately west of the Hillhurst United Church.

Great to see plenty of units still u/c. It feels like there is a definitive shift from high rise concrete towers to smaller 5/1 style builds. There are only two high rise builds at or below grade (fourth Street lofts, and First and Park), and both of those are a ways along, there are no new...

What I mean by necessary is, the developer is asking for up to 36 stories, so i’m assuming they must think it’s necessary for this development. My concern isn’t with shadowing, only that it’s a large development for a small area that has two ingress points/one egress point. It has BRT, but I’d...

I don’t agree with the residents with respect to the parkland. The area they are referring to isn’t used much by anyone as parkland. I’m okay with the city developing it. I kind of agree with the residents about the height and number of buildings. Are towers 36 stories high really necessary for...

Where did that figure if 184k come from? Not disagreeing, but curious of where the star comes from. 184K is massive.

I guess I’m happy that this is getting built, but it’s so effing annoying that some nice old buildings have to come down when there are plenty of empty lots all over the place that could be developed.

This is the perfect type of development for that location. And if you’re paying attention Brookfield: this is how it’s done.

Agree 100%. This is an major waste of an opportunity. Why Brookfield would even go with such low density in a strategic location I have no idea when it could’ve gotten approved for so much more. Exactly my thoughts. Why waste such a great location on a bunch of townhouses that could easily be...

A more apt name might be Kincora Fortress.

They definitely missed on the bike lanes. The problem also was the timing as the initial designs were done quite a while ago before cycling infrastructure became a popular staple in planning. Word is they are looking at putting in bike lanes. It’s easily doable, but agreed, it would have been...

I know they use fireproofed wood, but I’d hate to see a fire happen in a 12 storey building made of wood. Things could get ugly.

Here' are my predictions. Toronto 12.0M Montreal 5.0M Vancouver 3.6M Calgary 2.8M Edmonton 2.3M Ottawa 2.2M I predict Toronto will run away with things, as they keep adding people and will probably expand their metro CSa boundaries. Maybe including Hamilton by then. Montreal will grow, but not...

Not to be a nitpick, but I have found the Cambodian restaurants in Toronto, to be more like Thai or Vietnamese places with a few somewhat Cambodian dishes on the side. Of course Calgary doesn't have anything close to Cambodian, so I shouldn't complain about Toronto. Vancouver has a place that is...

I use the +15 now that I'm back to work once or twice a week. I haven't seen many businesses closing, but almost all businesses are less busy than the were before covid. I can't help but wonder how long some of the businesses can hang in there with how slow it's going. Not that I care much, I'm...

It's ugly, but also looks to be a case of a bad rendering job. It'll probably end up looking better than the rendering, though it'll still be mundane.

Let's hope so. Lately the process seems to be, tear down buildings and clear trees, let site for two years, drill some piles, let sit for a year, excavate and build. Once topped out, let the exterior sit covered in Tyvek for a year.

Aside from maybe 6th ave in EV, no stretch of street has seen so much change. Very cool comparison.

I want to see a lot of these scale buildings go up in Calgary, but they are getting built so slowly. It's the same for most of these sites.
