Since when is there a Keg there?

Jamieson is looking good, I really like the glazing. The Vertical lines are pretty lame though.

The Owl's Nest closed a couple of years ago, and I think the Keg opened this fall.
I wonder if Hy's will ever re-open?

The tower looks great in this pick. I actually like the glazing choice. I just don't like the racing stripes in the front and back.

Yeah, gotta agree the Westin did a nice job of renovating its ground level. Nice looking Keg. International Hotel had a nice reno too at grade. 4th ave is shaping up a bit better.

I'm really liking the looks of this one, racing stripes and all. Keep up the great updates, guys.

It's been somewhat out of position for a while now.

This design is not bad at all. Nice and contemporary and with enough distinguishing details to not make it another boring International style derivative. Cladding looks nice so far; it will be nice to see this one completed.

This is a nice project. Glass looks great and will stand out from all the greys, whites and beiges.

The great thing about Jamieson Place is that it is an adaption of a highrise design done by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was the only office tower Wright ever designed, but was never built.
This connection on its own will make this tower significant for Calgary. I am suprised the link is not more publicized.
