    Edmonton Skyline

    Trying to figure out where this was taken? I thought initially Groat Road/Sask Drive, but then thought maybe 114th area. I even went on Realtor.ca to try verify my guesses but no luck haha

    Downtown

    TBD if these increases move the needle on additional retail coming in.

    Introduce Yourself

    Hey everyone! My name is Jared. I started browsing this site about 5 years ago, and got an account about 3 years ago. I grew up in Saskatchewan and have lived in Edmonton for 10 years now. Like Marc above, I've always had an interest in all things cities - skylines, infrastructure, etc. One of...

    Manulife Place Renovations | 145.99m | 36s | AIMCo | MdeAS

    Guess I shouldn't hate on National Bank too much, they donated $330K to the Core Patrol program. https://edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/12/03/private-money-to-keep-core-patrol-operating-downtown-in-2026

    Just a very sad sign overall

    Downtown

    Really makes me wonder if we will ever have a vibrant downtown at this rate. It seems to be a chicken and egg situation/indefinite loop - need to bring people downtown but also need retail downtown - with neither happening, we will never achieve a level of vibrancy as other cities have.

    Past Vs Present

    Ideally we need more connectors to make it easy to get to the places east of Gateway and south of Whyte Avenue

    Old Strathcona / Whyte Avenue

    As someone who lives off Whyte, 124th street seems way more vibrant compared to Whyte. Maybe because I don't go down 124th as much but I can't recall seeing that many vacant storefronts). It might also be that 124th is not as wide as Whyte which I feel gives it a more urban and vibrant look...

    Would be nicer if the sign stayed as CWB/Canadian Western Bank 🙃

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    Could it be that rents are higher in Winnipeg and Regina due to a lack of supply? As someone that grew up near Regina, the majority of housing built was single family. If no rentals are being built, higher prices will just happen. I remember 20 yrs ago when I started Uni in Saskatoon, and the...

    10131 / 10135 83 Ave. Apartment | 14m | 4s |

    I walked past this the other day, and there is siding (?) now on the side (that is visible from Whyte) and I don't know if I am being dramatic or my eyes are playing a trick, but it was just too sad and depressing to take a picture and post to this forum haha.
