Avenue West End Calgary

Meh, as much as Carlisle/Pointe of View and La Caille have had questionable designs, shady business practices, and sub standard quality - they are two examples of home grown Calgary based developers who made a major push towards urbanity when (nearly) no one else was willing to take a chance on it. It's great that we have international and outer-provincial interest in raising the bar on developments now, but I hope that the bar is raised for our local developers and they can grow along side the progress Calgary as a whole is making.

There is something to be said for a city to develop it's own style and approach to architecture and design. Personally I don't want Calgary to become a carbon copy of Vancouver, Toronto, or any other location that has it's own fair share of seasoned developers.
