I remember one really hot band at the time -- Graeme & the Wafers -- as a cover had the Who and the Kinks nailed! Graeme went on to be a curator at AGA. They packed that basement club beyond what the Fire Marshall was comfortable with.

Not messing with a parkade lowers carrying costs, and reduces potential for delays. I am confident this is the best model for developers in central Edmonton.
Westrich is probably saving over $1 million of interest during construction due to a shorter timeline and significant cost savings on underground construction.
For market rate apartments, underground parking is not justifiable from a numbers perspective. It also turns out that less cars will result in more people walking, which increases overall safety and livability.

Considering where this is, there isn't too much that isn't either within walking distance or a quick walk and quick LRT ride away.

Is this the first multifamily development in a Canadian downtown with no formal parking in a long time? I'm not too sure if other cities have abolished mandatory parking minimums in their downtown core and if developers have taken advantage of that.

There have been some in Toronto, Van and probably others.

Give it a rest buddy. There are many projects in Edmonton and elsewhere with limited or no parking that are situated by transit, bike and are highly walkable. Not every project needs parking or commands it.
Both other projects in the area will have parkades, but this was an opportunity to do something different, provide 2x bike parking and deliver much needed housing in a very short timeline.

^ Not going to happen... even if I am the sole dissenting voice for crap being built on the downtown scene! (and it has much more to do than with just parking)
