Definitely on the tower portion, and visible from 16th ave.

Rising quickly!

Interesting to see how this development fits in with the city's improvement plans for 16th and crowchild

What's with that brick wall on the south side? That better not go the whole way up.

Developers now: “You want less spandrel? Alright then, here’s a full concrete block wall!”

I had the exact same thought. Looking at the renders, I think that brick wall will be hidden, and is the location where the main tower connects to the 3 story podium that will extend to the South.

Agree, going by the rendering I would say the brick wall ends right where it is now.

Yes seems to be inline with where the concrete wall ends as well.

Some new info on this one. I'd be interested to hear anyone's input.

Some notable design changes:
- Two stories removed from tower and height reduced accordingly.
- Podium height increased from 12.5m to 14m (due to construction type change from concrete slabs to steel beams).
- Podium rooftop patio removed due to neighboring community privacy and noise concerns. Will become just a mechanical space.
- Amenity space / fitness centre moved from forth floor to top floor.
- Large main floor restaurant and patio seating to be replaced by four smaller fast food style restaurants with outdoor seating on the East side of the building.
