^^So what's a safe assumption for construction time for those proposals? 18-14 months? from ground breaking?

I like how they will only publish the results after the winner has been announced. It's as if they are already hoping to create a story about how the elitist judging panel didn't go with what the people wanted. Then again, maybe I'm just paranoid!

Wow with all of the excitement of the new bridges i just realized that the Cantos winner is to be announced TOMORROW!! WOWZAS! What a week!

Bigtime · #85 Posted **Sep 23, 2009, 3:18 AM**

I can't wait! SPF for the win!

Wooster · #86 Posted **Sep 23, 2009, 3:27 AM**

Yeah, in the midst of the brutal recession, we're getting a bit spoiled. I like it. I do look forward to private development picking up again, but there are promising signs with Luna and Waterfront.

Next big things to look foward to are the Epcor Centre and Central Library.

I happen to know people who know people... I'm pretty confident I got the non verbal clue that my guess was correct today. I'll let you know tomorrow if I was right.

Bigtime · #88 Posted **Sep 23, 2009, 1:08 PM**

Non verbal clue eh? A wink? A slap on the buttocks? A bro hug?

Do we know what time they are planning on announcing?

Bigtime · #89 Posted **Sep 23, 2009, 1:14 PM**

So it looks like they are announcing the winner in conjunction with having a party at the Cantos.

"Designs on Calgary"
7-10pm, September 23rd
134-11 Ave. S.E.

Edit: I wonder if it would be at all baby friendly?

If you can keep your baby on mute, then yes. Oh, you mean for the baby?

The Cuddly Wrap takes care of that, she loves hanging out in it! I wonder if the music (live bands) would be too loud for her?

In that case, who is going and tweeting the event so we find out the winner?

I'm going to try to make it, I have a couple apartments I'm looking at tonight in the beltline but I'm hoping to be done before it starts. So if I can I'll tweet a few updates.

^ Moving to the big city?

Am I following you on Twitter yet Mersar? If not what is your handle?

Good luck with the apartment search!

Excellent, I'll be following you.

I'd love to head down there too, but seeing as the birth of our second baby is imminent, I'll likely not be able to make it down.

Look way up · #98 Posted **Sep 23, 2009, 3:07 PM**

So today is the day they decide isn't it? This oughtta be exciting!

A c'mon...a real forumer would skip the birth and make it down to see the design competition

Seriously congrats! I'm going to be in the same postion several months from now. We just got the news that my wife is pregnant. There'll be a whole new crop of little skyscrpaer nerds turning up in the city.
