The building envelope looked like a nightmare to complete in the concepts.

Spoiler!
I believe only one tower is going ahead right now, that being the shorter of the two. Also switched to rental versus condos.

Initially, yes. But also heard that once the first tower gets halfway, they'll start the second.

Whatever it is they’re going to need a few security guards for that block.

STEPS in Bridgeland has a crane back up. Sounds like rentals now. Odds of it actually getting finished this time?

Also unreal how The Bridges has gone 2 booms with tons of lots empty and now action, but now is seeing a bunch of buildings going up.

As someone who has been trying to sell his condo in Bridgeland for 2+ years, every new condo they build around me makes me cry a bit more

I'm just glad that it did go up. I did notice the other day that the Telus logo came off the top of their old building, wonder if they are going to try and slap the logo up top on Sky somewhere? I hope not.
What should they do instead?

I don't think they will. I think the name of Calgary's coolest looking and third tallest building will be enough. They (hopefully) know that a large Telus logo would take away majorly from that beauty.

Who does RNDSQR think they are proposing a four-storey building in Inglewood? They're about to get a talkin' to from the CA.




But what a cool building, more of that type of stuff please.

Not sure if this should be green text? It’s 12 stories according to Skyrisecities.
But nevertheless a great proposal, and yes please - can I have some more

As someone who lives in inglewood, I welcome this to be built to replace the "shady" car dealership that is currently on that site.

jayswin summed up my thoughts on it. I could see them putting a TELUS logo or two lower down on the office sections where it will be more visible along the 7th Avenue corridor.

Some people are saying it's a 3 year deal with an option to renew for another 3. I suspect once they are in there they won't be moving back.
So what I've heard is that Nexen moved so that the ol' tin tower could be renovated, esp. the HVAC which is still brutal in that building. They found some asbestos when they started tearing down one of the floors (stuffed randomly here and there) so now everybody is freaking out.

There are mounts in the facade at Telus Sky on the 7th ave side lower down I suspect are for either a cabinet or channel letter sign. Alternatively they could be used for flags.

Doubtful and unrealistic.
They’ve done it on all their other new buildings.

Toronto’s House, Vancouvers Garden, and to a lesser extent, their call centres, and older office buildings as well, in the other major Canadian centres.
