More townhouses as podiums, please!!

I don't hate the idea, I just feel like it needs either more separated entrances OR a more unified, bigger entrance.

That means they got the DP approved without the 👍🏼 from EDC?

Ya! they still owe us a fountain... 😝

Looks promising! That should be the minimum amount of windows allowed for a building that size 😛

It's just so exhausting at this point that the only good thing we get to say is "I'm just glad that finally something is starting to happen there". We say way more than we should.

Westrich biggest downgrade is stopping working with architects like Chris Dikeakos. BUT being honest, something like The Hat @ 122 would work great here too.

That should be a requirement in the zoning or something.

does anyone knows if they're removing the boulevard trees in 104st? These ones at the centre of the street:

Yup, but not all projects go through EDC 😔. I'm pretty sure this one didn't.

This is a project by Claroscuro, the same firm that was recently rejected by EDC for their proposal on the St. Anthony site in Strathcona. We desperately need UofA or MacEwan to offer an architecture degree in the city. The city deserves better architecture.

A Krispy Kreme 🍩

do they still have to go through the EDC?

The problem now is that it will stay there for several years 😒

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think The Milner Building is a great candidate for an office-to-hotel conversion. And ALT has done a couple of those, so they might just need someone to pitch them the idea... 👀
