I believe I saw a Montreal one that is based on the same model.
Edit - just checked it in more detail, the database shows only projects completed in 2025 for Calgary and is out of date for Edmonton, so I wonder how up to date it is. Which I think is the inevitable challenge of these things, there is so much out there to keep track of and on top of.

Hmmm, it should show all completed projects for any date from about 2016 onward IIRC. At least when filtered on 'completed' I'll check with surrealplaces, maybe there's a glitch?

it looks like recently they have started updating the database component for Calgary again. Calgary is the busiest subforum other than Toronto, so it makes sense. Ottawa has a busy subforum there as well and I could see the database returning there as well.

That's correct. It's called Skyrisecities, but is somehow associated with Urban Toronto. Edmonton is also a very busy forum as well.
https://edmonton.skyrisecities.com/forum/. There's also one for Vancouver, but not as busy. It's mainly Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton.
The Calgary side is maintained by 2 or 3 people, one of them, Surrealplaces posts here sometimes. As far as I can tell the Calgary forum is up to date right to the day more or less. Though Edmonton's forum is busy, it's missing a bunch of projects.
