Picture of the not quite yet crane at Wellington in West District.

Did anyone else have the immediate reaction of "that is an unfortunate mechanical penthouse" with the first photo?....

It looks like a crane is going up in West District for the Wellington project. No photos, just see a new crane being assembled from my place and it looks like it would be Wellington, unless they needed to put one back up for Plaza.

Does anyone know where Chartwell Retirement Residences Kingsview project is? According to this article, it is starting construction now: https://renx.ca/chartwell-buys-3-retirement-residences-kicks-off-development-in-calgary

Why does everyone continue to think that a tunnel is somehow feasible (without billions and billions more in funding)? The City spent a decade (and a billion dollars) trying to figure a tunnel out, and only came up with the idea to continuously and dramatically shrink the rest of the line.

Cobalt was approved by CPC today. With the admin presentation, there were a couple of new renderings: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=336848

If a new design is chosen, we still get to keep our current, existing plates, right?

Many of the new communities have both. The HOA is for the West District specific section. There are other HOAs in West Springs as well, given the fractured development nature of it. But, there is an official community association as well, shared with Cougar Ridge. https://wscr.ca/

Podium can now be considered complete, based on this post on Linkedin:

It is a public park anyone can use it (and I can personally attest to the fact the ziplines in the playground will hold the weight of a fully grown adult..... ;-)). Truman foot the bill to build it, as is standard for any developer to do in a new greenfield community, Truman just chose to go a...

Man there is quite a bit of density in this photo already, even before the concrete highrises get added.

I actually like how the City manages it officially in the downtown core, with annual reviews of how well utilized the on-street parking is. If it is below a certain theshold (I think 80%, but don't quote me on it) they lower the price they charge. If it is above that threshold, they raise the...

Have you been watching the last term of Council? Gondek has proven to be far more dysfunctional than he was since being in the mayors chair. I am just pointing out that there seems to be a double standard applied to Farkas when compared to Gondek. She literally pivoted and did something out...

I know. But she didn't mention once during her campaign for mayor. Highlighting the fact that she is willing to say whatever she needs to win, but will act completely different once in office. The perception that Farkas "might" do that seems to be more of a concern to people than the fact the...

Passenger rail out to Banff!

It seems strange to me that everyone is worrying about whether Farkas will ACTUALLY do what we says he will during a campaign, but not extending the same worry to the rest of the candidates. Remember when Mayor Gondek campaigned on declaring a climate emergency?...Oh wait... So, what makes you...

The latest iteration of Cobalt is going to CPC next week. Report, Background, DP Drawings, Applicant Submission, UDRP Comments, CA Letter As a reminder, here is what it looks like:

Truman is finally starting to release some marketing around The Quarters, or as they are now calling it, The HQ. It will be rentals, and you can get a good view of the interior finishings in this link. There is also one new rendering (very few renderings of this building released to date, and...

How much has been built on the Canada side already? Is the stuff that is in the ground still good? Just waiting to be connected to? Edit to add one more question: Would the Province still retain an equity stake in the project if it is rekindled?
