    Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I would assume Stamps still generate revenue for CSEC, so they'll want to keep them to maintain their monopoly over pro sports entertainment in the city. But how much they would want to invest into the Stamps venue for both the short term and long term is up in the air. Don't think they are too...

    Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    To be fair, acquiring the Stamps did change the game.

    The Royal | 114.9m | 34s | Embassy Bosa | Abugov Kaspar

    Probably why they're making the switch. More money to be gained from the change. Same reason East Village switched from a Loblaws to Superstore.

    Calgary Field House | ?m | ?s City of Calgary |

    Agreed. With no new funding committed yet, I would hope that they would revisit the the track size for this facility. If we're gonna do this - and put hundreds of millions of dollars in to it - do it right. Hopefully the full funding actually comes into fruition within the next couple of years...

    Harmony One | 20m | 6s | Gravity Architecture

    There for their one day of the year they're required to be on site.

    We forgetting about Sunnyside?

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    I don't even see the benefit of the 301 BRT Max upgrades. The 301 and Route 3 seem to operate fine right now, and have rapid frequency throughout the whole day. Unless it's to build a transitway to setup the foundation of the NC Line (like how SETWAY was suppose to be foundational work for the...

    Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I never considered having 17 AV SE transitway be a streetcar. I always envision it would function like a spur line for the green line, and be a low floor LRV. Making it a streetcar instead is something to consider. It would be fairly lengthy for a route though (Chestermere to Westbrook/MRU), and...

    Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I do feel that the 17 Ave streetcar will happen at some point in the future. Likely would be part of the planned MRU line from Westbrook station. I think D should be done as well, to have a route that goes from river to river on 4 St. Hopefully at that point, Eau Claire will actually be...

    West Tenth 1400 | 24m | 7s | Trimount

    Best of Kin, Tailgunner, and Two House better have their kegs ready for this summer.

    The Sentinel | 24m | 6s | Arlington Street | Jackson McCormick

    It's why although I would prefer for this to at least have one +16 story tower for a prominent gateway, the amount of units being proposed is good in the grand scheme. If they did a tower(s), it could be even more, but with all the projects they apparently have on the go, perhaps they don't...

    Not sure if Arlington Street's "High Street" latest render has been posted on this forum yet? https://www.arlingtonstreet.ca/developments/high-street/

    Springbank Hill | ?m | ?s | Multiple Projects

    It's crazy how much desnity is coming into this area, and fast. There's no way at this point that they city/developers can pass up the opportunity of having a station for the West LRT extension be east of 85 ST SW. Skipping all this to have the next stop in a dead zone west of 85 ST would be...

    The Sentinel | 24m | 6s | Arlington Street | Jackson McCormick

    I do think the street level could be better. I'm not in alignment with the courtyard access being from the front. The orientation should be flipped so 17th and 14th are lined up with CRUs that aren't disrupted. But I'm okay with the height considering the number of units it provides.

    The Sentinel | 24m | 6s | Arlington Street | Jackson McCormick

    Considering we have discussion on whether it's more important to have multiple mid rise buildings built on the same block to increase density and address housing, or only get one high rise building built on a corner, I would not be upset with The Sentinel proceeding as proposed. It's still about...

    Lincoln | 126m | 37s | Truman

    Truman fairly ambitious with their designs for this and Imperia. Hopefully both of them are built, and can come close to these renders. They would look phenomenal in the skyline, and push the standard up.

    West Village Towers | 149.95m | 42s | Cidex Group | NORR Dubai Yahya Jan

    Wondering if they were considering a Shopper's for the 10th Ave location. Have to figure Loblaws is eyeing putting one somewhere in the west part of the downtown area with all the density. Good to hear that the ground level got a major tenant to finally get something in place there. Still...

    Drove by this last night, and appreciate how great they look.

    BMO Centre Expansion | 25m | 5s | CMLC

    I'll keep pushing for this: Make the Saddledome location a new football stadium (~20K capacity) to replace McMahon Stadium. Go all in on making this area a true entertainment centre for the city.

    West Tenth 1400 | 24m | 7s | Trimount

    Would be nice to have a Sunterra Grocery store on the west end of downtown/beltline though.
