Looks like just a lobby, means the whole block on 7th won't have active uses, unfortunately.

Drills working away on site today, this is a very busy site now.

Anyone know if the lane & sidewalk closure is going to stay until the building is complete? Or is it only going to be till the old building is down?

Now at only 5 storeys.

It's been weird watching this come down from the office, it happens so quickly sometimes you don't even realize another floor is gone until you count or walk by

Another masterpiece set to start in Calgary

Woot! Looks like this and Telus Sky could officially begin excavation around the same time

Awesome, love the multi-tasking. It's go time around this city!

haha maybe we'll get lucky and this one will get increased to a nice 150 meters. I could definitely live with that

Keep dreaming Chad, the courts park shadowing rules this one.

haha I know. It was just a joke mostly, with a little glint of hope in the corner of my eye.

There's a shadowing bylaw for that park? It's in the middle of downtown!

Yes this park as well as Memorial park.

Don't worry, you are still allowed to cast a veil of darkness over railroad tracks, roads, sidewalks, daycares, orphanages, sweatshops, strip clubs, power plants (so long as not solar), and cupcake factories.

We need a to build a downtown park in honor of Tallbob, and surround it with supertalls

Hey I like tall buildings as much as the next guy (maybe not quite as much as you though), but I like sunlight more, it makes a huge difference in street level livability in winter.

Scaling this up to 150 metres would no doubt decrease the efficiency of the floor plate.

I wonder how much this would change any design on the old imperial lot (oxford now).
