Here's an old pic from Early April when the pile drivers were on site. They have started digging at this site.

wow! - Same name as the Toronto condo.

For a second there I thought there was a screw-up with the threads.

The glass will be a welcome addition on this block of ugly boxes.

Yeah, lot's of cement and brick in that part of the Beltline.

The last time I was in Calgary This wasn't even approved yet! I'm glad this thing is turning out.

This one snuck under the radar for us too.

Just curious as to why this one is moved to the 'Proposal' section? It looks like it's already u/c

That was me, although I may have been too hasty, on second look that seems to be some rebar poking out of the ground.

Can someone in Calgary confirm the foundation/piling work has begun?

22-28 stories, everything 22-28 stories. This is one that should be a lot taller.

This one is U/C

This one is moving at a good pace. It'll be nice to see it rise!

Really wish this one was taller! Never the less... OK.

^I agree. It'd be nice if it was around 30 floors.....of course TallBob's probably wishing it was 50 floors ;)

Surreal: Yes! However, considerring the area, 40 would be about it! Don't get me wrong I'm glad even in this financial environment, that this many projects going up is a good sign. I just wish a couple developers would get some "Balls" and build a few towers around 50!

Even 40 would be pushing it for that location. I'd love to see a 50 something res tower along the tracks or east Beltline.

Yep!
