Moving at the speed of bureaucracy...

Looking good!

We'll see how it all turns out but I do give them credit for trying to create a sense of place and doing something different.

Arlington's buildings usually seem to turn out far worse than the renders. I am worried to see just how bad Sentinel will turn out..

Yeah I really like this project. Calgary needs a lot more projects of this scale and quality to "fill the gaps" between the towers.

DP for this one is headed to next week's Calgary Planning Commission meeting for decision

The DP for this one is going to Calgary Planning Commission next week.

At this point I'd say that appears highly likely.

The good thing is, no other Truman projects will be under excavation soon, as the Stampede Hotel excavation appears almost done. They could move that crew to this site, then First on Tenth will be topped out in a few more months.

I'm fine with the glass and/or spandrel. Just glad we are getting a downtown highrise after a pretty long dry spell.

I moved from a big house in the burbs to a small old house in an inner city community, and I am so glad I did. An efficient layout helps offset the smaller amount of space, and I save a whack of money by driving so little. We used to buy a new car every 3 or 4 years, now between both of us...

I don't hate them other than the "ketchup and mustard" colour scheme. But I'm certainly not shedding any tears over them not happening.

A company called Louson Investments is partnering with Truman on many of their big developments. I don’t know much about them though.

Excited to see how this one will turn out

You must have gotten a lot less snow than I did, there is no grass poking through the snow at my place...

I think part of all this is with arena costs spiraling towards a billion bucks, compared to $200-300 million not all that long ago, expectations are naturally going to be a lot higher than they used to be. I can't help but be underwhelmed by what is being shown here. It's fine, and certainly a...

Jemm's projects always seem to turn out nicely, even if their designs are somewhat conservative. The workmanship and materials just seem to be top notch. It makes me optimistic that their building at 16th near Centre St will end up looking nice, even though the renderings are sort of bland.
