I'm out of touch with some parts of the city. I had no idea they had even started construction, let alone done with businesses moved in! Thx for posting.
There is another proposal right on 33rd (at about 20th ave), that I think might be under construction. Do you if it has started up yet?
I'm delighted that Avenue33 is going to be extending the retail on 33rd further east. One small step toward my dream of having mixed-use buildings extend all the way to 14th street.
The building looks nice too. Not sure I love that concrete planter that emerges on the eastern side. I realize the ground is not level, but stairs would have been better than a planter.
I know this is blasphemy to say on a skyscraper site, but I would trade in one of the Guardian towers, for five Avenue 33 projects. Calgary has enough highrises, but we don't have enough Avenue 33's.

The one your thinking of is called Odeon. It started construction a while back, but I haven't seen it for a while. I would estimate that it's at least at grade by now, but probably above ground.
1741 project on 17th ave and 24th street. Not a bad little project but would be better if it had Avenue 33's retail setup.
This building drives me crazy! Such a lost opportunity to build 17th Ave into a proper main street. Sometimes I wonder whether the planning department is run by zombies. You can increase density as much as you want, but without building mixed-use buildings with retail at street-level, you're still creating car-dependent suburban neighbourhoods that force people to get into their car to get to and from scattered and isolated retail outlets.
