Situated on the corner of 121 Street and 102 Avenue is the Oliver Exchange building. A 2-storey brick structure, which was once known as the West End Telephone Exchange, where operators would manually interconnect aka. switch lines to establish telephone calls. Originally constructed in 1913, and expanded in 1949, this building was one of four structures that made-up Edmonton’s Telephone District. The building is a testament to the growing demand for telephone service prior to WWI and proved integral to telecommunications in Edmonton. Oliver Exchange will remain a landmark in the Oliver neighborhood, standing out among the surrounding residential buildings in the area. The building will undergo extensive renovations, upgrading the interior with modern amenities while preserving the beautiful brick exterior that gives it character. As homage to the building’s historic significance, Oliver Exchange endeavors to retain the interconnected spirit of the building with architectural design elements that promote exchanging of ideas and connecting with the community. A collection of like-minded businesses, coming together with opportunities to connect and share both within the building and with the public.

Former DV8 building:

Proposed rezoning of properties in Strathcona

February 17, 2017

You are invited to a public open house to discuss a proposed rezoning in Strathcona at 8301 - 99 Street NW.

Date: Thursday, February 23, 2017
Time: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. (Drop-in, no scheduled presentation)
Location: Edmonton Moravian Church, 9540 - 83 Avenue NW,

The proposed rezoning would accommodate a medium density apartment housing building. The proposed change in zoning is from (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision to a new (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision at 8301 - 99 Street NW. The proposal includes:
  • Height of 23.0 metres (approximately 6 storeys)
  • Floor Area Ratio of 3.0
  • 26 dwellings
  • Underground parking
An amendment to the Strathcona Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) is also proposed because current policy does not support development of this height at this location.

The City is looking for your input on the proposed rezoning.

Snoopy being that I am, I began poking around various architectural websites to get a better understanding of some of the projects included in the above references. I found two renderings of the proposed Nerval Hotel and an additional one that has not been covered via Skyrise threads, both by Axiom Architecture. Before you check out the Nerval Hotel renderings make sure you are wearing sunglasses. The 13-storey Holiday Inn (I am guessing location to be somewhere along 101 Street) is a great deal tamer. Both available at http://axiomarch.ca/architectural-project-portfolio/current-projects/
 
Small-ish project in the Stadium area.
