Bingo. The number varies, depending on the demographics and some other factors. Think Downtown/Beltline with a population of around 60,000, yet has five grocery stores. Hillhurst/Sunnyside/west Hillhurst with the population of about 20,000 has two grocery stores. Mission, cliff, bungalow...

No CRUs.

I agree with everyone, this is turning out very well. Should be template for all other three or four story office buildings with that 80s mirrored glass.

I told myself I wouldn’t visit this page, only to be heartbroken, but different story today. No heartbreak today only joy. There were some workers putting scrap into that green bin and I asked them what’s happening with the site. They said they are working on the office conversion next-door and...

Beltline Block, Vibe and these two towers. That’s 4 towers breaking ground in the past two months!

Personally, I like the spandrel on this one, but for those who don’t, you can ease the pain by taking a look at the building to the left in Alex‘s last photo.

Every time I see there’s new activity on this thread, I tell myself not to look, but curiosity always gets the better of me. 😂

And it was nothing but an empty field 10 years ago.

The 30% figure keeps popping up, and while it's not great, it's not as bad as people think it is. On the Edmonton forum or on SSP, there are some members that bring up the 30% vacancy rate every time time someone says something good about Calgary lol. Personally, I would say the higher vacancy...

What I'd like to see is another proposal for the NW corner of 9th ave and 12th street. Say, 10 floors, modern, and a small grocer at the base.

The rate is high, but is misleading. The 30% figure has garnered a lot of media attention, but the only real issue was the value of the empty buildings and its effect on property tax. It's not reflective of the number of workers or the vibrancy of downtown. 1) Before the vacancy rate spiked...

This might be my favorite conversion so far.

I like the concrete look. It’s a fresh change from the usual hardie board.

I hope those panels are dirty from the initial construction. They look 20 years old.

It’d be great if this gets built. The empty lot feels like a big gap on 9th.

Now that we know the location, let’s get a rendering!

An unfortunate reality. Once there is more development around the area the problem will mostly go away, moving to some other area nearby. It won’t solve the problem, but it would improve the area around Chinook station.

This is great news. Another future crane and another future high rise 😎
