that floor plan needs some revising. As someone that has worked in an open office design I can't stress enough how you need to create more meeting space and filing/storage areas.
I'm sure that's just a place holder. Whatever tenant takes the space will have their own set of criteria for the layout.
No rumors yet but as brokers start letting their clients know about the project interest and activity will pick up. I suspect you'll see paper on it by early next year, but likely not enough to kick start development.
Starting to sound like the 262m number may be close to the actual height, an SSP member has already done a drawing of Oxford tower for the Calgary diagram:

Wow, just awesome. As nostalgic as I am for old Calgary buildings that once dominated the skyline, there's something really awe inspiring about seeing those older buildings become smaller outliers in our evolving skyline. Amazing
And as much as people call that new building design uninspiring and bland and all that. I look at this rendering and think "Who cares?". It's another tall building (the tallest) that adds to our skyline and looks just fine, imo.
Not every building's going to be an architectural marvel. Just keep the construction going, I say!
3 Eau Claire is still a go? Also the Jamieson/City Centre/Eau Claire cascade is kind of funny (but also really dense and shelf-like - Harvard / Eau Claire Office Tower even looks a little chubby).
What a beautiful ****ing city. Sign me up for mayor of this town, god damnit!
Looks better and more "fresh" than Vancouver with this rendering, IMO. Love the fact that we have so many new corporate/commercial buildings going up, we're setting ourselves up nicely to avoid condo-wntown.

Row housing? Yes please, we need more of this. LOTS more of this. I'm a huge fan of this style. This type of infrastructure is what's made Boston, Toronto and parts of New York really great.

I agree. I really like row housing (especially brownstone style) such as the development in Garrison Woods and MacKenzie Towne. I especially like those because they don't have front yards and instead maximize rear yard space. In my opinion, a front yard is useless wasted space.

Ctrl+Alt+Del includes pretty much every proposal in his renderings until they are cancelled or replaced... 3 Eau Claire is probably not going to look anything like that when it's finished. Shaw was a lead tenant though so I'm sure something will be built.

Anyone in the know about that?
If Shaw has any say in the design, I'm sure it will be hideous.
I heard something about Bentall recently acquiring the 3 Eau Claire land but not much more. Someone else in the know could probably add to this a bit more.

Man, Garrison Woods is an amazing-looking neighbourhood. I'm hoping to move there as my next place if I can reasonably find something.
There's a developer currently sniffing around at a massive residential tower in central downtown that hasn't been discussed yet. Won't say anything more past that.
