    Alberta Provincial Politics

    I think Nenshi would increase the NDPs chances. He wouldn’t cause them to lose any of the seats they won in the last election, but would give them a chance to win some Calgary seats that were close last election.

    Magna | 21m | 6s | Jayman | Integra Architecture

    There is no buffer between the DIC and East Village. Even though there are buildings in between, they don’t act as a buffer. Also, this last tower that’s finishing construction is phase 2 of a project that started 7 years ago when East Village looked more promising. There hasn’t been any other...

    Magna | 21m | 6s | Jayman | Integra Architecture

    It comes down to raw pricing, even though the price per square foot is quite high at UD, you can still pick up smaller units in the 300s or 400s whereas it’s very difficult to find that in Parkdale, at least in a new build.

    Homespace 12th Ave | 16m | 4s | HomeSpace | IBI Group

    A benefit of not having underground parking. That’s why the city needs to get off their archaic butt and either a) get rid of parking requirements or b) lower the parking minimums.

    Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    ‘Sometimes we need to pick our battles’ sums up quite well. Parcels that are more desirable, such as ninth Avenue in Inglewood, 10th St., in Kensington, etc. need more scrutiny but some sites don’t.

    Form vs Function?

    For sure the goal should always be both nice form and proper function but if I have to pick a choice between the two I would go with function over form. I’m less concerned with the beauty of buildings over the streetscape and the function of a building. As long as the street scape is nice and...

    Statscan numbers

    Is the 70K an accurate number for Calgary? There seems to be all kinds of numbers floating out there, and the 70 K is only from the conference part of Canada report, which nobody seems to have access to. I’m still gonna wait for stats can estimate numbers to come out, and I think they’ll even be...

    Calgary Restaurant Thread

    The reason prices are so high at these restaurants is that people will pay the prices.

    Not sure why the hate for the black, I think it looks good.

    The Hat Elbow River | 177.99m | 56s | Cidex Group | NORR

    Agree. Ask me 15 years ago about height mattering and I would have been all over it, but these I couldn’t care less. In Edmonton’s case it doesn’t even make sense given the number of empty lots. They should be doing buildings 5-10 stories high.

    Canada Immigration discussion

    I’ve always been pro immigration, especially since my parents immigrated to Canada. I have two concerns for the most part. My biggest concern is the current level of immigration is too high, but I’m assuming they’ll go back to previous levels. The other concern, and one that I’m not sure can be...

    Northland Village Redevelopment | 19m | 6s | DIALOG

    I agree with this. There's no harm adding a station at Northland when the development nears completion. It wouldn't be any less deserving than Dalhouise, I mean what the point of having a higher density node of residential beside a train line if there's no station?

    Hat @ 14th Street | 94.48m | 28s | Cidex Group | NORR

    The architect who designed WVT was from Dubai, and the podium looks like something that belongs in Dubai.

    Roads, Highways & Infrastructure

    This last paragraph sums it up well. Realistically acknowledging that roads and cars won’t go away, and that some people have no choice but to drive vehicles and instead of shaming people for driving cars we need to work towards better infrastructure for those who can’t, or don’t want to drive...

    Flyover Block | 20m | 6s | RNDSQR | FAAS Architecture

    So black vinyl trim along the edges, as the rendering shows. I’m anxious to see if they stick with the other material in the rendering, or if it gets VE’d down do some sort of beige vinyl siding or something.

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    I’m of the opinion to change the blanket zoning for all parts of the city. As things progress, most of the high density development will still be in the inner city and core anyways but at least this gives some opportunity for higher density in some of the outer neighbourhoods.

    Multifamily Bridgeland | 16m | 5s | Groupe Denux | ACE

    There’s construction on the street and sidewalks around the lot. Maybe they’re waiting for that to finish up.
