As of today, what are the chances of FCC2 being built?

It's happening, believe me.

McLeod trail in and out of downtown is going to be a much nicer drive in the near future.

Not sure where they stand, haven't heard much about it lately.The last I heard, Giffels was trying to push the +15 idea, and that was a couple months ago.
Now that PMA, NORR and Giffels are basically the same company, it should start moving along more quickly, at least I hope so. I'll see if I can ask Bruce about it when i get a chance.

I just started on 222 Riverfront Ave this week. The rush is on to apply for BP, so look for some action on that one pretty soon.

Posted this in the construction thread:

I had a nice conversation last night with David Partridge of the Maverick Real Estate Group with regards to Highbury. Nothing new to report with regards to that one. However, our conversation shifted to the old Co-op site. Maverick will be doing the marketing for this project. I asked him "are you referring to the Exchange?" "That's the one he said, one of the largest projects we have ever done, it should be amazing and we should be starting that one up in about a year."

Can't wait, this is an exciting one!

Here is a street shot I did, featuring Nuera, Stampede Station and a bit of Keynote. I'm thinking of just doing some more random future street shots like this, as I anxiously await the next big proposal to be released.

NICE WORK!!

I wish that the Nuera towers were taller, they are such cool looking buildings....judging from your picture they will look quite stubby!

This area is going to look great. A few more towers on this street would finish it off nicely.

I'm still chipping away at some more pictures. In the meantime...
Burj Dubai (future world's tallest) added to the Calgary skyline for comparison.


The current world's tallest, Taipei 101, in Calgary.

Surprisingly, those don't really look too out of place in our skyline. Great work as usual.
