Just walked by Earls Tin Palace, looks like they are taking everything off the patio to start renovations! Too bad its during prime patio season

^perhaps that has more to do with your waistline

Will miss the orange, but the new design and ergonomics look good.

The bottom pic really depicts Macewan's actual girl to guy ratio.

Sweet. I was wondering when they were going to complete this.

CMD UW · #**3769** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 4:29 PM**

CFAC = looking great.

I've never been able to figure out if this project is the monumentous one that the mayor alluded to many months ago. Is this it, or was he refering to something else?

Coldrsx · #**3771** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 4:39 PM**

Else.

Depends on who you ask, but one of:

1. Manu 2

2. Centre for the performing arts

3. Kelly Ramsey mixed use tower

I just got word that over 700 NorQuest staff have been invited to the Legislature tomorrow for the Premier's Capital Ex lunch. This hasn't happened before.

Maybe there will be an announcement of some kind regarding the new NorQuest buildings?

Coldrsx · #**3773** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 4:59 PM**

Have to think that might be the case... I have heard it was looking good for funding.

Airboy · #**3774** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 5:06 PM**

CFAC has the curves of later Cardinal designs.

Looking good though. When do we get to see some conceptuals of the exterior.

Airboy · #**3775** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 5:09 PM**

Of note. The Post Office has started moving their vehicle parking into the Impark lot next to the CN tower. Demolition looks to be getting ready to begin.

KR looks really good from what is shown, I look forward to more and larger renderings

1 & 3 appear to be quite nice, but don't seem in keeping with the mayor's comment along the lines of "shocking" or something like that, so #2 then perhaps? Has this been delayed, because I thought the mayor's original comment made it sound like the announcement would have been made months ago. Going from memory, though.

Coldrsx · #**3779** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 8:05 PM**

Centre for Performing Arts, led by Irv Kipnes, was presented to the Downtown Vibrancy committee to gather support last month and has been building momentum quietly behind the scenes. Kasian is working on concept drawings/plans.

If Kasian is involved, I'm guessing that's not where the WOW is coming from about this project. More like the private money behind it, I'm guessing.
