Thanks, I was wondering what was going on there.

I like what I see in the renderings. I wouldn't want to be in this design after a heavy snowfall.

The roof slopes into the center atrium, so shouldn't be a problem.

• Calgary Co-op has closed on the acquisition of a prime piece of property on the corner of Macleod Trail and 58th Avenue S.W. Today, Chinook Plaza is a strip mall with 30 long-term tenants and the Co-op intends to continue in the role of landlord for some time, but the 2.3 acres of land immediately north of Chinook Centre has great potential as a future mixed-use development.

That strip mall is actually quite successful since it was refaced, I struggle to see how a mixed use is a higher value for that site. Har-Par sold their cigarette-burn portfolio behind Chinook and surrounding area earlier this year at a valuation of $208,000 / door. Proximity to that train station has pretty much zero mixed use value because it is too far away.

Rndsqr is killing it, I hope that strip gets built. And of course I just sold my house Killarney, haha.

Rndsqr came out of nowhere it seems. I hadn't heard of them until recently, but I sure like what they are doing.

New Tower proposed for Beltline. So far the only info is the name of the tower, Avriluno Plaza. More info to come.

I Photo shopped in some Chinese proposal from somewhere.

Ugh. More blue green glass twins on a large podium. Why not orange glass? 4th deserves finer grained urbanism than this.

I'd like to claim I didn't fall for it, but had already clicked "like". I swear, seconds later, it struck me that this seemed odd.....

They used to be called Beyond Homes, and they did a lot of infill semis and singles. Stunning interior design and architecture.
