The Development permit has already been approved, and the developer has already applied for a Building permit. There has been some activity on the site.

It would be totally awesome to see them break ground on this baby . What's the ETA?

I haven't heard a date or that they are for sure going ahead, but given that they have applied for a building permit, it's likely that they will go ahead and that it won't be too far off. Also the construction fencing and workers on site probably means a demolition is on the way.

Demo has started.

They are seriously going ahead with this? That's awesome but surprising.

I don't think the hotel portion is surprising. I'm not sure if the residential rental tower is going ahead or not....it would be a bit surprising if it did, but I've been surprised a fair bit lately.

So it looks like they are going ahead with this. IMO projects like this are so important for downtown Calgary. Those empty lots around the tracks need to be filled up.

The next parcel over to the west is slated for a Sutton Place hotel. I'd like to see that go up also.

It seems like they are moving fast on this one.
I like the splashes of colour. Hopefully that spandrel will look fine.
