I know the phase 1 completion date was supposed to be 2024 but somehow I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast it came together 
Will be a huge benefit for the area considering the close proximity to foothills as well as U of C.

How many buildings have LEDs that are never lit up anymore? Jamieson and Arriva are the 2 that come to mind immediately.

Construction fencing has been removed from most of the site except for the back where the schoolyard is and around the pedestrian bridge construction. Access roads in and out of the parking lot and in front of the buildings have been paved as well as walkways.
Residential tower: Exterior looks finished.
Medical office:
Pedestrian bridge:

I don’t understand why they didn’t go bronze frame and glass on the bottom portion. Such disconnect.

The residential tower also has like twice the detailing as Blume and yet Blume is the clear standout among the two.

I assume the odd coloring/material choice on the bottom is to try to link it to the Residential building...but yeah, it just looks weird.
Btw, sweet 996.

Thinking of moving here once the development is done because I work in the area, but I'm not sure if I would get woken up frequently due to the close proximity to the foothills hospital and the ambulances that would be coming by.

You get used to ambulances and helicopters.

I live across from South Health campus and sirens don't really wake me or bother me. The odd STARS helicopter visit is a bit noisier but nothing major.

It's like living in the flightpath of the airport. After a while you get used to it

I used to live right by Deerfoot and 64th Ave...so had Deerfoot, the airport, and the train tracks out our window. It was loud at first, but after a few months I didn't even notice they were there. I imagine random noises like an ambulance are a bit tougher than repetitive noises, but your brain definitely adjusts.
The Woo girls and motorbikes in the Beltline were way more disruptive.

I concur with what others have said. I live right under the flight path for Stars and don't really notice it anymore.

They need to ban the bright LED strobes emergency lights on ambulances, tow trucks, highway vehicles. They can't be healthy.
