I don't think a finished building design was realistic (because at this stage it would be pointless), but people were at least looking for a well executed vision to get excited about. Something that showed the potential of the finished product if things went as planned. Look at the two Ottawa proposals released last month...that looks professional even if half of it is fluff. Or look at what CMLC does with East Village. What CalgaryNEXT gave us is a lazy joke in comparison.

I think this project has massive holes when it comes to the area-planning and financing, but they at least could've made people fall in love with the dream. They failed badly on that front.
