CALGARY | Aura II | 70M / 230FT | 24 FLOORS

A proposal that's been a around for a while. There has been some site prep, A BP has been issued but probably for the demo and site prep, as the DP has not been released yet.
Word is that they will start this one as soon as Aura I one is done.

City of Calgary development permit

Piles are starting to be bored. It looks like this project is a go, rather than waiting for Aura one to be completed.

Glad to see this one start, and it's a bonus that it started so soon.

They are already putting in horizontal tendon tiebacks! This is moving very quickly.
