For a uni student this is totally fine, long term living would be tougher. Better than a studio. As for the laundry in the bathroom, totally fine with this size of unit. Maybe one day we will start seeing the European apartment design where the washing machine is in the kitchen (usually in...

I sure hope so! Please keep the Grandin area dominantly residential, I loved walking through the area and getting a sense of peacefulness while surrounded by high density. Sick and tired of urbanists demanding commercial spots on every single corner and street and avenue and alley (Calgary...

It's ok everyone, we'll get the Hyperloop / HSR built with the Edmonton station where the South Hospital was supposed to be, and a Red Deer station right at the steps of their new hospital.... WIN WIN!! .... I'll see myself out

@Platinum107 No idea what it's like on Whyte, haven't partied on the strip in years. Chvrch of John was my go to while I was living DT edmonton. I heard its gotten stupid busy now though and does the bottle service thing now too so I don't know. Have you been to Baiju? It's quite the hotspot...

THE GLOBE! The old house where Mayfair on Jasper now stands. This place and Ezzie's is where my nightlife started at the age of 17 using my brother's ID 🤣 He'd used to come in like half hour after me and I'd hand him his ID through the smoke pit lol good times. Only once it didn't work because...

There still are nightclubs, they just aren't as appealing to the normal crowd because it's all about the bottle service now. You now got to burn stupid money just to look cool or be left feeling like a peasant if you aren't doing that. How many people want to buy bottle.... in Edmonton?? Go to...

Yes should be at least 10 to 12 storeys, would have zero issue with this is it was three blocks West. At least it will help the Monaco buildings finally tie into the area.

Pretty sure what you see here is the maximum allowance in the developer's budget before a complete tear-down to surface parking conversion was a more viable option.

One is an entirely new building designed from scratch. One is a retrofit of an old ugly building. Sunrise is getting my vote of approval, the only thing better they could have done is to tear it down. Plus, why everyone hopped up on the idea that a building called sunrise is black? The black...

Well yeah I definitely disagree with any form of financial incentives for residential developers. Especially from a city that seems to be broke considering it now has to charge for street parking on Sundays (this coming from an upset ex-Edmontonian with a recent $50 fine for parking downtown on...

Yes I understand that it is an issue in every North American city. The difference is that other cities (or at least the ones I am always comparing Edmonton to in where I want it to be) already had a strong and vibrant downtown community. So if it's a go-to place where people admire their...

But based on the comments from Edgar that we are talking about, I don't see them asking for any grants or financial incentives. They are simply saying they need the City to do more about the state of downtown. We can redevelop all the streets and avenues, and people will still not move downtown...

Yup, unfortunately council listens more to SJW's than people with money and a vision.

I agree, more pressure needs to be put on governments to highlight the problems that there are. The people who can influence need to speak up. Sometimes I also wonder, did we let the SJW's win too much in our society? How has it become acceptable to see people with mental issues put a syringe...

Detroit 2.0..... I been calling it since oil started crashing in 2014 that it's going to get real bad if governments don't do something about it. Well.... imho at this point any traction in the right direction was obliterated by Covid and the way Trudeau's government dealt with it. We're in...
