Well the developer and architect of this building are both from Calgary. And if you have looked at any of their other projects you'll notice that they all look generally the same.

This feels like an Edmonton trend. Okay buildings / materials ruined by weird asymmetrical designs. If anyone could find Calgary examples I'd be intrigued to see.

When I played with Legos as a kid, I never cared about what colour the bricks were, as long as they were the right shape. I guess some other kids did the same and decided to bring that style into the real world.

Convinced we need as many as these near whyte as we can get. Any criticisms of height are silly.

Well when the other towers of this development go up and the other residential building kitty corner to that one goes up density will definitely be a whole lot better. Southpark phase 2 would be nIce to see

Yes, although I do have to give kudos to the Southpark developers for putting in a nice little park for people in the area to use while waiting to develop this site, as opposed to some developers (not going to name the names here, but we know a few around town) who would have left it a fenced up garbage strewn old parking lot.

Has anyone heard another on future phases or timing of this and south park’s next buildings?

Funny how you mention it, I don't there is a single person outside of Cidex that has a clue as to what their next move is. Their website has no details on it, doesn't even show their St.Albert work on it.

We do work for Cidex and usually bid all their projects. I haven’t seen anything yet for the other two towers in Strathcona.

The two in St Albert are still going ahead as far as I know, and are a separate project than the one under construction now (they’ll be just to the west and northwest of it).

Oh good! A 16 storey and another 6-8 storey in St.Albert?
