    Kensington Mixed Use | 20m | 6s | Westrich Pacific | J+S Architect

    Is that church not part of this development? I've been operating under the assumption that the restoration of that church into a cool new space was part of this development... it was one of the reasons I was excited for it.

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

    The Crescent Heights Village BIA has been campaigning for a change to Centre St south of 16th Ave for years. Whether it comes from surface running Green Line, dedicated bus lanes or just a simple road diet, the businesses of that area appear to feel strongly that the current car sewer status quo...

    New aviation training centre to be built at YYC through a partnership between CAE and WestJet. Combined with the Lufthansa Technik engine overhaul facility also being built through a partnership with WestJet, the vision of making Calgary an aviation industry hub is starting to take shape...

    Francesco's | 48m | 16s | Arlington Street | DAAS

    Definitely a commanding street presence already! Would love to see the small retail plaza next to it on the corner of 5th St get developed next.

    EV606 | 22m | 6s | Alston Properties | ATLRG

    Disappointed they have all the air conditioners on the river-facing balconies. Makes it look tacky and cheap for such a premium location.

    Went by the new Eau Claire Plaza at dusk tonight. The lighting under the misters creates a really cool vibe.

    Kensington Manor | 34m | 9s | Amble Ventures | NORR

    Not sure if it's been noted yet or not but excavation has begun in earnest at that site in Kensington along 10th St where the old mid-rise building was condemned and torn down by the city. Not thrilled with the design but still happy to see this gap in the retail street wall get filled in.

    Speaking of odd design, has anyone been through the intersection at 15 Ave and 11 St SW recently? I had a buddy venting about the poor design of this in regards to the cycle tracks but haven't seen it for myself.

    Ya, what is with the future traffic light poles being positioned right in front of where the cycle track should cross Macleod Trail? That seems dumb. Am I missing something here?

    Pretty sure there was a large DP sign in front of this Denny's on 17th Ave last time I drove by. Do we know what's being proposed here? Sounds like construction may be close if Denny's is closing? https://dailyhive.com/calgary/dennys-17th-avenue-closed-calgary

    General Construction Updates

    The strip mall on the corner of 1st St NE and Edmonton Trail is now in full demolition mode. I know there was a mid-rise proposed for the site a while ago. I would assume this indicates that construction is imminent, unless they are just clearing the site to flip it later?

    Calgary International Airport

    I spent a week in Puerto Escondido just prior to Covid and absolutely loved it. Authentic Mexico compared to most of the other sun destinations. 7 beaches, all of which have very distinct character to them, no mega-resorts and yet still a decent number of Canadian snowbirds around and some fun...

    Playground going in at the new Eau Claire Plaza looks like it'll be pretty epic for climbers.

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

    Sort of. There are a bunch of 60% design renderings on the Green Line page. For some reason there's not an easy central page to click through all the station designs, you have to use the top right menu bar to expand a couple menus and click on each station individually. Main station page...

    It's an interesting question... what happens with such an important downtown heritage asset if the current owner sees no value in it? We see this occur a lot with smaller buildings that just get knocked down but this is definitely a different scale...

    Timely to the conversation and actually fits with the Urban Development Proposal thread.... the folks in Royal Oak are getting some new neighbours! https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/calgary-mandatory-drug-treatment-centre-to-be-built-adjacent-to-royal-oak
