Haha - I guess that's the beauty (or ugly) of different opinions.

The Barron building looks good when you stand right in front of it and look up, from most other angles it's pretty plain.

haha - well white brick is in(fill)style these days so who knows... agree though - looks great at human level but terrible from height

Can't answer your question in regards to what's planned for it, but that is the first school that ever opened in Calgary so I doubt they're tearing it down considering that building was already moved once.

It looks decent enough. Too bad it wasn't in a more central location.

Looks a little cheap. The setting will be top notch though. Too bad it wasn’t closer to downtown. A little soccer stadium where the old Mewata stadium was located would have been perfect.

Where the old Mewata stadium was would be perfect. Nice and central, and next to an lrt station.

Noticed soil/environmental testing going on at the site at centre street between 11th and 12th ave SE. Wonder if that project could be moving toward construction.

I haven't heard anything about that one going ahead, but given the way rental builds are going, it wouldn't surprise me.. I've heard through the grapevine this one by Bentall Kennedy might be moving ahead.

It could also fairly likely be soil testing for the Green Line Centre Street South Station.

Could be, although it was right near 11th ave, not the 12th ave alignment.

Zeidler recently resubmitted a DP for that site. Not sure if it just because the older, 2015 one was lapsing, or if they were making some adjustments to it to better reflect market conditions. DP2018-5962. It was approved at the end of march. No building permit yet, according to My Property.
