Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Doing some calculations with @CT_ 's help to model what these might look like.
Three possible scenarios, assuming that they are looking to max out the 12 FAR, and given the areas from the image:
- Two towers about the same height that are between 90 and 100 metres
- A taller tower around 120 metres tall, similar to BLVD, and a shorter tower about 65 metres tall
- A much taller tower around 140 metres tall, and a much shorter tower around 45 metres tall.

Scenario 1 and 2 feel the most likely to me. 45 metres would be pretty short for that location, especially if it's on the south side.

I think we need a 4th scenario

- A 200 meter tower around 60 storeys, with a cheat spire and no second tower.

This would be so cool! If only Quantum Place actually knew how to build more than just fancy renders and site fencing.

To be clear, I don't think Quantum Place is the developer, they are the planning consultant. And actually, they are winding down operation in the new year (founder got a new job with an international developer). I imagine they will continue to take this land use redesigntation through to Council, but it will be their client who is responsible for ultimatley building.

Speaking of that area. They really need to do something with the old Sears location and parking lot

Uptown Calgary! From the University to SAIT, should contain at least 40,000 people.
