Couldn't find much else but there must be a thread?

@Avenuer can likely hook us up with the renderings.

mmmmmmmmmm not a big fan of the "above ground parkade" but otherwise I like the proposal and where its located (right next to the future Macewan Arts LRT stop). My opinion may change once I see a drawing or rendering but hopefully not haha

Man, I'll show you how above ground parkades can be done in a very decent, and even pretty, way. It is the standard in Brazil, due to high construction costs associated with having underground parking, so we ended up integrating the thing to our architecture to a degree in which it really doesn't even look like it's there.

Just to clarify, the Lung association is not the Louisiana purchase site

Three houses were just demolished around 10434 University Ave, does anyone know what is planned for there?

The Alberta Lung Association purchased all of those properties recently.

This was what @Avenuer was referring to. It got mixed in with the other discussion.

Also, the architecture firm also did Manchester square, so maybe it’ll be a 12 story cross between the Venetian and Manchester. Lol

Oh dear God no!

Aaaaaaa, so this next one will be called "The Vienna" and look like a streetscape out of Budapest.

I think the architect actually did a good job on Manchester square, in the sense that it is done to a high standard of quality (it seems). The architect is given orders from the developer, so you can't necessarily blame the style and format on the architectural firm.

Unless the architect is Teeple and the building in question is that WWII German heavy tank that we have on Churchill.

I'm glad you asked!

Meet, 'Oliver Crossing':

This building will be taking up the entire Louisiana Purchase/Prive site as well as the Urban Timber building to the north.

Oliver Crossing elevations:

This looks great. Does this include the empty lot to the north of Urban Timber with the billboard on it adjacent to 104 ave or are we still knocking down buildings while leaving empty lots....empty?

That empty lot will remain so, unfortunately.

Strip the balconies off and you have a 1950s era hospital.

That is unfortunate. I'm not sure if these buildings have any historical value but they do look like they are some of the last remaining warehouse buildings in the area (correct me if Im wrong). To knock them down and leave the empty lot to the north is quite disappointing. I just dont understand what the city's deal is with knocking down buildings while there are empty lots and gravel parking lots everywhere.
