Nice places, but seriously, who's stupid enough to pay big bucks for a custom duplex? If you're going to spend that kind of money, get a real house.
It's a personal choice, but yeah a duplex is a poor man's version of a regular house, just as a condo is a poor man's version of a duplex. It's an alternative for people who can't afford the real deal.
Thank you to Design-mind and Littlechild for the construction updates of some of the larger projects around town. Really excited to see how the cladding turns out on the Inglewood and East Village projects.

Great to see all that development happening around the airport & Cityscape.
I'll add to the thumbs up. Loving that there is so much going on even in this economic environment. Those with deep pockets will take advantage of the depressed economic situation.
All of the development around the airport increases the possibilities for the Aurora Business Park, which will likely remain on hold till the Green Line's phase 2 plans are released. My hope is that it becomes more of a business hub in the north, as opposed to light industry.
Was originally built by a couple that survived the Titanic disaster. Probably a decade or so ago it went through a massive expansion (the aerial view gives an idea of that expansion). The street view itself doesn't provide enough context for that expansion. Address is 2211 7th Street SW. Was the most valued property in Calgary till Baum leveled two homes in Pumphill to create the behemoth there. The values in Mount Royal have, of course, increased more than in Pumphill, so hence I figure the flip between #1 and #2 back to this Mount Royal property.
[EDIT]
Just checked the City assessment, and the home I identified above is not the most expensive. Not sure thus which would be the $20M home within Mount Royal. Was a different mega home built there in the last decade?
This one might seem kind of tacky, but at least it's different.

I remember reviewing the listing multiple times when it last sold. There was value there for certain. Other than some issues with scale, lots there to like IMHO.

Nice to see a big investment like that. Did the city cut them some slack to get more underground parking? The city needs to drop those draconian parking rules anyway to help bring life back to the core.
Where in Calgary are these two houses located? The Fortress one looks very cool and also very expensive!
The fortress like house is actually kind of a common one, it could be anywhere, but the last one is uncommon for sure. I'm pretty sure the last one is in Springbank on an acreage. The fortress one is from some place like Springbank Hill or maybe Wentworth or Elbow Springs.
