Heritage Station Towers | 85m | 28s | Westcorp | GEC

Just some nostalgic pics and some other material

I got a YouTube video with a song I can’t get out of my head

The game changer for the area would be the land between Horton and Macleod. It's interesting that the land use was better around here 28 years ago than it is today.

From 1995, waterslides and a few other buildings. The Y would've been still up and running across Haddon Road too.

Banzai Waterslides!!! Loved that place growing up.

That’s the SRC version of being Rickrolled

I can't believe they are finally finishing the towers. Particularly since I paid off my unit just this very month. That's some crazy long development timeline...

Passed by earlier on the train. Saw some guys and a truck with this tall vertical thing in the ground. I think they're doing soil sampling?

Is the entire front courtyard a fucking Parkade ramp? This is a confusing site plan

Also, it looks like there won't be a parkade underneath these and residents would instead use the existing parkade. I guess they built enough space in the original?
For some reason I hadn't pieced this together until now

It wouldn't surprise me, the original parkade was massive from what I remember.

I worked on the parkade in 2014, it was my first construction job ever. They made the parkade large enough to house vehicles for two future towers. I'm surprised this thing has taken this long to restart, but then again it seems as if phased developments in Calgary take decades to build out, unlike Canada's other 3 big cities.

No soil samplers today, but you can see fresh tracks.
