I remember when it first opened, someone mentioning that copper doesn't really turn green in Calgary, or takes a lot longer than typical, because of our drier climate.

Is a project slated for 505 8 Ave SW, where Belgo is? I just heard that Belgo is closed.

No project planned. That building was incorporated into the overall redevelopment of that block for Eighth Avenue Place.

That's funny, it's still ugly in the context that it's used.

The easterly phase, from what I've seen, actually looks different from that.

Looks like a lot less blocky podium and a lot more landscaping? I like it.
Also, the Metropolitan or whatever it is going up looks awful. Point towers > perimeter blocks.

Ugly is pretty harsh, I'd say it is plain. Too plain for such a prominent site in our core, that land is screaming for an iconic supertall.

Long live the 1980s!
Considering it's Oxford and Pickard Chilton, not unexpected, but man, what an un uninspiring design for a new tallest.

I like it, but agree that the site deserves something more of an iconic statement.
