Here's another photo I just came across from back in June. In the background is a condo tower, and to the right is the frame of a new commercial building. The foreground is the construction site of the new library (excavation is now underway):

The parking lots in behind on the left used to be city-owned but were recently sold to a developer.

Here is a construction update from where I work. Took these on Sunday.
A sea of supports.


The monster rises.


More to come when I go back there next weekend.

I like the Halifax condo with the red balconies.

Luna is the third tower of the 3 Italian sisters on 12th Avenue.
Stella was the first at the west end of the block, followed by taller Nova mid-block, and now the tallest, Luna, at the east end of the block. Thank dog for Vancouver developers who have faith in the Calgary market. Sorry my view doesn't include Stella and Nova.

The first phase of the Cité Verte (Green City) project is almost completed. For this first part of the $300M project, SSQ transformed what used to be an orphanage (38 000 orphans were born there between 1901 and 1972) into the first units of what will become a so-called "green neighbourhood". When completed, the entire project will offer 800 habitation units ranging from condos and appartments to townhouses and social housing. Some 70 000 s.f. of commercial space will also be available and will include a pharmacy and a medical clinic. Residents will have access to a gym, an inside pool, a park and a community garden. Roads will be few and narrow and pedestrians will have priority. Most parking spaces will be underground and charging points for electric vehicules will be put in place.

The neighbourhood will get its electricity from a newly built biomass power plant and from solar power. Green roofs will be mandatory and higher quality construction materials will have to come from local producers to diminish the carbon footprint. Rain water will be collected in retention reservoirs not only to provide water but aslo to prevent this clean water from ending up in the sewer system and thus be unnecessarily treated at a municipal water treatment facilitiy. Each unit will be equiped with a screen which will inform the owner of his water and electricity consumption.

"The automated waste collection system installed in “La Cité Verte” consists of a system of underground pipes that will connect directly to 3 types of waste drop-off points for organic waste, recyclables and all other waste. A massive vacuum of 20-30 kilopascal of pressure is created to 🞵🞵🞵🞵 the waste into a local “substation” where organic waste is generally turned into biogas, recyclables are processed and other waste is incinerated to produce electricity or heat."
