I drove by there yesterday and can confirm it’s definitely not under construction

Is the first tower now taller than the 30 floor second yet to be completed second tower?

First tower by my count 28 second tower 35.

 

[Surrealplaces]

The article from Daily Hive say tower two is 30 floors, but then again I'm not sure I'd trust their info. Could easily be 35 like the rendering.

Either way it looks like construction is very close.

1st tower is 30

Second tower is 60 (who said that!)

Their inability to properly distinguish between construction announced and happening leads me to question their competence or reliability, so I would tend to go with what has been previously indicated unless more credible sources say otherwise.

It’s a joke….we get it….not officially under construction but will be at some point…..

Again, since I'm looking through EDC notes...

Falcon 2 (DP)
Ben Kennedy - ARC Studio
Motion of Support: D. Brown
Seconded: J. Mills
The Committee welcomes this proposed development, and in the interest of ensuring a high standard of urban design recommends the following:

• With reference to the key descriptors (Walkable, Dynamic, Street Activity, Outdoors Patio's, Commercial Street, Interface, Vibrant, Event Flexible, etc.) provided in the design narrative, further design refinement should be considered with respect to creating more prominent patio/gathering/commercial spill-out space along 104 Street and 100 Avenue frontages, rather than a space predominantly dedicated to bicycle parking.
• Quality products and materials should be selected in the design development of the third floor outdoor amenity space to visually integrate the space as seen from street level and surrounding towers.

For the Motion: D. Brown, J. Monfries, N. LaMontagne, N. Pryce, M.Tindall, J. Mills, G. Freer, C. Dorward, K. Dietermann
Against the Motion: None
Obstained: S. Gibson

Construction still not underway after a month of that Daily Hive article?

 

[Gronk!]

Construction still not underway after a month of that Daily Hive article?

That Daily Hive article was published on April 1 aka April Fools Day. Take that as you will.

There's a tower in Calgary that was has been rumored to be starting construction for 6 months, and finally started on Friday. Sometimes these things drag on.
