I know this project has been posted before, but I don't think the high-res one has been posted on here.


Marriott Residence Inn - 10th Avenue SW Calgary - 33 floors - ~110 meters

I wouldn't call it that.. the base looks very good but the towers look very cheap.

Yeah, I was talking about the base.

Nobody, looks up on King West anyway. Its all about the ground game, the bars, chicks and cars on the strip than whats happening in the air.

Case in Point: TIFF Bell Lighbox and the Festival Tower.

Festival Tower is a quality tower despite it's simply form. Cinema would be the polar opposite. The towers of King Blue look bettwr 4han the Camrost redevelopment of the Four Seasons

King Blue got a nice little shot in the arm in terms of sales recently thanks to some attractive incentives and suite reconfigurations, hopefully it gets built sooner rather than later, the podium will be great for this stretch of King St

The Harlowe vs Soul Condos -- which do you prefer?

I prefer the Harlowe's urban neighbourhood myself.

Turns out they're both by the same architect: Core Architects out of Toronto.

Great looking tower. The streetlevel is wasted though.

Agreed. Wasted opportunity to include some street level retail at least with a busy train station (and busy court building) right there.

Manulife A+. I would love to see this in Ottawa; it's not that much higher than our ridiculous height restrictions!

In the original renders, it did show a restaurant/patio at the bottom. I wouldn't write off the possibility just yet.
