This is for the 93 unit project along Memorial Drive , figured it could use a thread seeing as its already under construction. Developer is Anthem.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but that condo project beside the River and breakfast on Memorial has drilling equipment on site.

I recall someone else mentioning this as well.

Anthem is doing this one. Drilling appears done so I'd expect we see excavation very soon. This one is wood frame (unfortunately).

Thanks Halcatchfire!

I find this to be a very underwhelming design considering the prominence of the location along the river front.

Unfortunate. This wouldn't look out of place in any Calgary suburb.

We will see more of this as time goes on - energy performance standards will bring back punch windows in a big way on multi-family. Does look much better from the ground level view to be honest.

FWIW, I did leave comments to the file manager saying I thought it should be a bit nicer looking given the location. Of course beauty is always in the eye of the beholder......if it was my building I might even use the same materials but choose different colors, and have bigger windows, but as Darwink mentioned there are new energy standards to deal with...maybe that isn't a feasible option.

Has anyone come across marketing for this project yet? Since they are already digging I'm assuming Anthem is going ahead no matter what, perhaps marketing a little later on with the benefit of a quicker possession date for purchasers?

I haven’t seen anything at all. It’s flown under the radar for the most part.

This building is being built 100% on spec. Marketing and sales will not start until the building is almost complete, the idea being faster absorptions with finished units and quicker possessions. Brave move but if the lenders are willing to finance....

Forms for the west half of the main floor slab pour appear nearly done, with work on the east half columns still ongoing. Only one level of underground so this should go up quick (wood frame) once they get the main level poured. I'd love to get some photos as I'm past this regularly but they've done a pro job at hoarding the site corner to corner and visibility is only through a tight mesh.

I have access to a building across the lane, I'll get some photos from as high up as I can!
