Someone mentioned here that the bridge was built by American Bridge Co, This 122 year old company has an extensive portfolio of bridge building. I can't understand how this can happen to the Tawatina bridge as well. A link to their page. A short summary of the project; Tawatina Bridge Project...

I appreciate the links. . There's three buildings in San Franscisco that look very similar to Telus House. Seems like the 650 California Street Building (formely the Hartford Buildiing )is the closest in appearance. After doing a bit more research, this boxy no-frills style is known as the...

I'm trying to find the name of the near identical twin to Edmonton's Telus House in San Fransisco. If anyone knows the name of that building I wpuld appreciate it. What style of architecture is it? I know it's a "box" basically but I've seen some other cities with similar 70's architecture (...

Right...if there were a market for Phase 1and those residences sold well, tower BG would have stuck to it's original plan of a 188m residential tower instead of the 60m CWB Bank proposal we have now.

Accidental Beach by Fraser Brimsmead This Edmonton artist does some incredible work.

Great photos. Stantec from the west looks OK but from the east view, the building looks unfinished. That black/grey vertical bar running down the upper portion (elevator shaft covering?) looks odd and ugly. It'd be nice if they'd cover it with the same blue glass panels as the rest of the...

Welcome back Dave !!!

Better look like the maze from the movie ,The Shining ,for that price.😁

The hell with that priciing. Have you looked at the OIl Kings instead? They play Red Deer on the 30th and Lethbridge on the 1st with fireworks afterwards. Went to a WHL game in Victoria once and was really entertained. Take in the game, watch the fireworks and spend what you will on food and...

I get what you're saying and I'm in the same age bracket as you are. However, this photo illustrates that a lot has changed in the past decade or so. Roger's Place, JW, Ultima, Fox1 and 2 , COE Tower,Stantec and EPCOR didn't exist in this photo. From certain angles, I'll agree, the core looks...

Unfortunately , you are 100 percent. Have a brother that lives in Victoria and calls buses "peasant wagons". What a POS remark. Many find ways to put themselves on that pedestal any chance they can get and what an easy way to do it. Personally, I think good public transportation solves a lot...

I undertand that feelng. However, a lot of the unbuilt office towers might be a blessing in disguise. Edmonton can have a downtown done right with the right mix of mixed use and residential towers instead of pure office. I think the right mix of structures will eventually make our downtown...

"DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) downgraded the Issuer Rating of TransEd Partners General Partnership (ProjectCo) and the rating on its Series A Bonds to BB while maintaining its status as Under Review with Negative Implications" Continued in link below. (Their press release from November 3...

The guy in the video mentioned that the final design of the piers would be discussed with city management. Maybe those steel belts can be covered with more concrete creating a more uniform looking designed pier. No way would I accept anything less. Has to look like a finished product.

My understanding is that Aldritt has a yard full of early 20th century bricks stored for the purpose of using them for this tower's podium. If they can build a glass tower and have a similar heritage podium to Kelly Ramsey's (Enbridge), it'd be perfect for the area..Tower would be truly...
