I didn't notice this before, but Gracorp plans to make the units fully furnished in this building.

At the time I remember thinking how silly the comparisons to Detroit were; they largely ignored several of the main reasons the city of Detroit deteriorated (white flight being a big one. It was hard to believe that would ever happen in Calgary). They also ignored that the greater Detroit region...

Maybe Aria will be to Gracorp what Hat is to Cidex. Any guesses what they'll call their third project? Aria Autre?

It looks like the plan is to do utilities, surface works, and grading in 2024 to open up blocks 11A/B, 16A/B, 17A/B for development. I assume we might see something being built there in 2025 and beyond. Beyond that the focus seems to shift to the South Lands as the next big phase of development...

Sales must have been good, they're already starting construction!

Lots of activity today; steel going up for the firehall portion of the building and concrete being poured.

In my mind, any future bike lanes should ultimately connect to the University, the two hospitals, and Brentwood station (Market Mall would be a bonus too). There's already a bike lane on 37 St, so hopefully they extend that on to Warren St, which could then connect to a lane leading to the...

This is what the university says about that: https://www.ucalgary.ca/ancillary/residence/current-residents/varsity-courts/varsity-decommissioning/varsity-courts

It seems crazy to me, but based on the Alberta data for 2023 compared to last year's growth for Calgary I think it could be over 70k!
