How dare you place a red x over Bottlescrew Bill's? That place is god-damned institution.

Podium looks a bit taller than I imagined from the renders... that's a pleasant surprise (though its still too short).

Great shot. Its starting to look pretty, pretty, pretty dense.

A couple hundred more of these types of developments in the inner city please and thank you.

If one could wave one's magic wand and fill all of the parking lots adjacent to the CPR rail line through downtown with developments like this (bridging the gap between Beltline and CBD), it would take Calgary's city centre to the next level.

How is there no grocery store in Bridgeland yet?

Eau Claire has advantages though: proximity to the river/prince's Island park and Chinatown. It just needs to leverage them.

This is really nice.

I was really worried about how this was going to turn out while it was covered in scaffolding, but I love the finally unveiled finished product. I think it looks amazing.

Personally, I think its pretty ugly. Its too busy. And the portions with white spandrel look cheap.

Those both look pretty nice.

The strip mall and Shell station (especially) on the South side of 17th Avenue basically kill any urban feel, no?

I'm reserving judgment until all (or most) of the finishing touches are complete. I still think this might turn out great.

What a mess. Honestly, the 70s era commie block in the foreground looks so simple, handsome and dignified in comparison.

Its a shame that 95% of them are so ugly.

At the risk of being ostracized, I like the orange. The change from blue (in the rendering) to grey (in the as-built) made a huge (positive) difference. I actually like how this turned out. 7/10 (considering it is affordable housing).

This has been a real pleasant surprise. I think I like it most among recent Hillhurst mid-rise developments.

I hate it so much.

It doesn't look terrible as just one simple colour like this. The cladding four choices are so silly.

I went back to look at the renderings again. I think they show those sections as glazed and not recessed. However, I agree that renderings exaggerated the effect of the different glazing on those sections. All in all, especially compared to other recent examples of rendering misinformation...
