I feel like this must be going ahead.
If it was only one building, it might be due to bad structure or such, but to demo an apartment building, a couple of houses and a building with active businesses doesn’t really make sense going to build.

There was a lot of discussion today in the Imperia thread about construction starts, and speculation on if this one will officially be a go. Well, the head of Arlington Street posted this on LinkedIn today:

Great they are talking public art but I still feel ripped off we never got the spaceman statue shown in the renderings for their project across the street on the corner of 5th.

So in the past week Imperia has started construction, Francesco's has announced they are also starting construction, LA Caille appears to be also starting construction (reminding everyone that a BP has been applied for, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and means it's happening imminently) and we got some exciting renders of 4th and 17th. I feel that we have been rewarded for our patience during this slow summer in terms of construction. The only laggard is Sovereign. Overall a damn good week!

It's their project at 526 4 AV SW in the downtown core, right next to Caesars.

Soil samples most likely

I think you're right. The last census done by the city showed Panorama as the most populous, but that was a few years back in 2019

25,129 Beltline
25,710 Panorama

Given that several Beltline projects - 11+11, Oliver I, BLVD Beltline, Park Place I, Cube, Underwood and The Royal (Underwood and the Royal opened right after the city census) - have been completed since that last census, they would have added more than 2000 units to the Beltline, it's safe to say the Beltline is easily the most populous neighborhood in the city.

Edit, checked Statscan and profiles from the 2021 census show
Beltline 25,880
Panorama 25,535
So it's official, the Beltline is Calgary's most populous hood, and now in 2023, it would have widened the gap significantly.

The gap will be much bigger now with Oliver, Nude and Park Central opening up in the past year. I would guess the Beltline’s population today is probably close to 30k.

From July of 2021 onward this is what I came up with (and I might be missing others) Redstone was only starting to rent out units in June of 2021, and probably could have been added, but left it off.

BLVD - 650
Park Central - 463
Oliver - 866
11&11 - 369
Nude - 177
The Hat - 239
1400 - 106
The Fifth - 34
Upten - 379

Total of 3,283 units added since the statscan profile from July of 2021.
