Who knows. When all is said and done, however, Calgary is going to walk away with a great facility. That's for sure.

"Manulife tower" via K Powers at SSP. Southwest corner of 7th Ave and 5th St SW. Under 30 stories, so not exactly a skyline changer.

Spoiler!

Too bad it's short.

That would be a great looking building if it was 40-60 (or 100 ) stories.

Eight Avenue Place is basically the taller version.

New development that's replacing a parking lot along 10th ave between 4th and 5th street.

Quote:
Place 10 offers 14 stories of purposefully designed floorplates of 24,850 Sqft in the East tower and 23,350 Sqft in the West tower.

Find yourself centrally located at the heart of Calgary's future, with excellent accessibility and fantastic amenities within walking distance. Just one block away is Central Memorial Pak and Haultain Park where employees can enjoy some of the city's best green space. The C-Train is a short walk away.

Place 10 also offers bicycle parking, lifestyle opportunities such as a fitness centre and day care facility.

That +15 looks to be connecting to the parkade across the street (4th street).

As long as the +15's don't start working their way into the Beltline proper I am a happy camper.

^Beltline Planning Group (standing policy committee of Beltline Communities) has seen some projects that have proposed +15s as ideas. Generally, we are fine with them going over the tracks (in which case they'd have to be +30s due to CPR regulations) and are open to them in a few other special circumstances, such as this one.

A couple plus 30’s over the cpr tracks would be nice.
