According to The City's "My Property" map, a Building Permit was created on August 1. Here is hoping:
Would be great to see another residential building in the core, and will be close to Plaza. Both buildings are along 5th street which has a cycle lane

This all looks very positive. The building permit fee for a project this size is hundreds of thousands of dollars so based on the fact that the existing businesses have closed, and this application for a BP, this looks to be happening. We went very quickly from "why isn't anything getting built here?" to Yellowstone u/c, Sovereign, Francesca's and Nest looking like they are ramping up to start, and now this one coming out of nowhere.
I will miss Value Buds, but this is a nice late summer surprise regardless.

Wow, I may have been right! 10 or so towers starting in the next 12 months! Cause this wasn’t even on the list I made! 
This is great news, thanks for sharing the update.

So we should expect design change? or similar to recent renders

If they are applying for their BP based on the approved DP, then no they won't be doing a design change.

I’m glad this development appears to be moving ahead but would be much more excited if this (Kings on 4th) was being built. While I know it’s not to everyone’s liking - at least it was distinctive (and tall

Yeah, this was nicer. Also i noticed in Calgary the buildings are designed simple.

im more for smaller towers and less parking lots.
The best part of all these potential or starting tower projects is they are being built on empty or partial lots. I always prefer a small build on an empty lot than a large build replacing something that's being used, so I'm glad to see these potential towers using up some empty space.

In everything but height, I prefer the new design. The previous one just had way too much going on for my liking. First and foremost, though, I am looking forward to seeing more parking lots and underutilized sites being replaced by some decent density. And 32 floors is still decent height, should be visible on the skyline from some angles and will be the tallest building we will have under construction, at least for the time being.

Yep. RIP King's on Fourth. Despite the tacky faux historical building, it definitely would've been an interesting addition to the skyline. Nonetheless, very happy to see something finally go through here.

Only got one.
smaller tower
somehow built yet another surface parking lot downtown
basically just rearranged the surface parking from the previous configuration.
