Calgary is BOOMING! A Downtown Photothread

The Chemist · #1 Posted **Aug 14, 2007, 3:38 AM**

From Saturday:

I started out from the James Short Parkade (where I always park when I go downtown on weekends, considering it's only $2 and it's so close to Chinatown and just about everywhere else).

TCPL - still one of my favourite Calgary buildings:

The Bow construction site:

All the brick has been removed from the top floor of the York Hotel

Calgary Tower

Bankers Hall

Hyatt Hotel

Stephen Avenue

LeGermain construction site

Palliser Hotel

A bit of old and new

Homburg Harris construction site

CPR Plus 15 at Palliser Hotel

Bankers Court Construction Site

Bankers Court and Homburg Harris across 9th Ave from each other

Homburg Harris tower 2 foundation work

Locomotive outside the Canadian Pacific Railroad HQ

TD Tower

Western Canadian Place

First Canadian Centre

Metal 'trees' on Stephen Avenue

C-Train

Density!

Centrium Place, easily one of Calgary's coolest new office buildings

Seeing triple at Bow Valley Place

The new Calgary Courts Centre

This looks dangerous

The edge of Eau Claire

Centennial Place construction site

Cleaning the lobby canopy at Sheraton Suites Eau Claire

Jaimeson Place construction site

Taste of Calgary at Eau Claire

Hope you all enjoyed. This will probably be my last Calgary photoset for quite some time, as I am off to Shanghai for at least one year on August 25th.

A great photo thread. Took a while to load but completely worth it. You do Calgary justice!

Great pictures, I look forward to your first Shanghai photo thread. Best of luck in China.

Great pics. Calgary is really kicking some but. I can't wait to see what it looks like in a few years.

I like the Calgary Tower!

This city is going to look very different when you get back from Shanghai.

Those Bankers Hall pics are particularly well done.

We'll miss you buddy! Give us lots of Shanghai threads!

Stout!

Even better a second time through. Eau Claire is undergoing huge change right now. I'm excited to see where we are at when you get back. Best of luck in Shanghai.
