Agreed. There was a post from I think @ByeByeBaby where he had rough numbers for jobs directly and indirect related to oil and gas for both cities, and Edmonton had a lower percentage, but not a big difference, and if I recall both cities were declining at maybe a similar rate. Calgary tends to...

Ottawa's didn't make sense, even adding Gatineau with it, it wasn't much higher than today's CMA numbers. I don't believe the maps are apples to apples, as the Ottawa map might not have been the updated Ottawa CMA. I didn't take the time to go through and figure it out, but a quick look showed...

We have a lot of great contributors here, contributing on so many different subjects, from road work, to cycling , to building materials, to transit, to photo updates, to resto/pub discussion, to inside info getting mentioned here first, and almost any question someone poses will get answered...

It was from this post. Three of the four blocks adjacent to the intersection have developments under construction or very close to it. Lots of change coming to that area with 710 units under construction or with an active building permit, and the strong possibility of another 392 units. In that...

It would be a pretty slim tower for that location, something similar to One Bloor West, but could be a bit bulkier. The biggest part of the Keystone lot is roughly 145' x 175', and for comparison sake, One Bloor West has a foot print of roughly 120' x 90' I would never balk at a supertall, but...

Looks like Myself, Mountain Man and Urban Warrior are the top posters, and no coincidence we're also the ones who have been around the longest. I just did the math for myself, and I'm averaging 4 posts per day. apparently I have a lot of time on my hands 😅

Some predictions - growth to 2049 - from Statscan on various census divisions around Canada and various growth scenarios. For Calgary Census division 6 is mainly our CMA + plus Foothills MD I thought I'd compare Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. Ottawa's numbers didn't look to be apples to apples...

You don't hear about cock roaches being much of a problem in Calgary, but it only takes one of the restaurants to get the issue and it spreads quickly top the rest.

I was wondering that too. The thing that makes me rule it out is the site is owned by the same people behind Keynote and Stephen Ave quarters (Mannix family) and I'd be surprised if they hired an expensive out of country architect, but who knows.

Me too. It's two different vibes in one neighborhood, with 34th being my favorite of the two.

Crane bases at Lincoln and Gryphon. The count is about to go back up.

Agreed. They've beaten some good teams lately and have moved form last to 2nd last, but there aren't many teams the Flames could realistically pass after Nashville. Maybe Buffalo or Vancouver.... They'll finish bottom 5 or less.

Hmmm... A few places pop into my mind. - Former Grace hospital site - North Hill Mall - University's Innovation Quarter

There was talk of a hotel going in beside the Cowboys Casino, and that the project was to be managed by Matthews Southwest. That's the lot I thought we were talking about, but there is also the one to the NW of the BMO centre. I forgot there was a concept proposal for that lot.

I think it's the lot beside the BMO Centre. It was supposed to be a hotel at one time, but personally I would love it to be the empty lot beside the BMO tower.

From what I heard or read, that was the reason.

Could be. That would be nice.

A new building seems to make sense, but in other ways, it makes me wonder why someone would choose a firm like Allies and Morrison if just doing a tower? It's a firm you'd pick if you wanted something special for maybe an institutional type project. New campus for AUA? Maybe something involving...

The Avs off to a killer start. Then there’s the Flames. A team that looked to be doing a proper tank but now seems to be screwing that up. Lol

Great idea for a thread CT. I chose downtown tower mainly because it seems the most likely. I’d love it to be Westbrook of Eau Claire but somebody needs to buy the land first.
