I was hoping the city would issue Brookfield a DP for 64 floors...

I'm glad Calgary is getting much more urbanized, It clearly states that Calgary is growing into a metropolis.

There's a sign on the 1st Street side of the lot saying "WARING: Open excavation in progress" so... that might be something

If the rumours about Cenovus signing as a lead tenant are true, I'd expect this to begin construction before September pending BP approval.

Glad Ellis Don got the contract. They are proving to be very worthy of big projects in this city with their quick and efficient work style!

Currently, the route for the servicing (utilities) is underway in autocad land. It is still progressing.

Its crazy how much Calgary has changed in 8 years.....and the next three will be quite something as well. The density is getting amazing for such a small place. Actually, most of the Canadian cities are impressive these days.

Anyone else find it odd that this building has like 3 renders and Telus Sky had dozens?

Bit strange for a new tallest, no?

As there's no residential component, this building doesn't need to market itself as much. Especially if the rumours of having a lead tenant already secured are true.

Yeah - and with that rumoured new lead tenant revealing spectacular numbers next week for Q2

Any chance the height of this gets bumped up? Really want to see something significantly taller than the Bow.

Time to rename this thread to 'Brookfield Place Calgary'

On a technical note, the rendering still shows the 17 storey BVS 1 sited behind the Len Werry building (where the Grand theatre actually is), and not across 6th Avenue to the north and behind the new Brookfield monolith in the BVS complex (where it actually belongs).

I guess nobody but skyscraper geeks would notice that though, eh?

Looks to me that BVS1 is in the right spot, but the new Brookfield - Cenovus tower has been placed 'behind' the BVS1 image instead of 'in front' of it from the camera angle.

We'll blame it on a summer intern who hasn't mastered 3D modelling space yet.
And probably has never visited Calgary.

Cenovus is leasing 1 million of the 1.4 million square feet in the first tower.

This baby is a go!

That should make a lot of their people happy.

RicoLance21 · #16 Posted **Jul 25, 2013, 6:21 PM**

Is it still possible at this time to increase the floor count to 60 now that there is a main tenant in place?

Oh by the way, I am glad that Cenovus is making an example that downtown Calgary will remain as the most attractive place for businesses for decades to come. Imperial will be missing out.

Good point. I hope it re-enforces that downtown is the place to be and stops any would be exodus from the core.
Really would love to break the 60 floor & 800' barrier with this one.

This one will be 810 feet to be exact

Chadillaccc · #19 Posted **Jul 25, 2013, 6:30 PM**

So is it actually called Brookfield Place Calgary now? Or did we just read that in the article from yesterday and assume it's official?

Chadillaccc · #20 Posted **Jul 25, 2013, 7:05 PM**

247 meters is over 800 feet already.

60 floors would be perfect though. Bring it up to 265 meters and 870 feet!
