That's extremely disappointing. Hope Beljan can figure something out here, because as good as their overall projects are, they seem to be having some trouble on the leasing side, especially of late.

Yup, similar. I'm up $90,000 in the last 2 years on a standard bungalow, with no changes made to the building. :oops:

Exactly as Ken said - it doesn't matter what developer is behind it, it's the fact we're about to allow surface parking on a prominent downtown lot, despite the zoning bylaws. This is no better, or different, than the Arlington site and should be treated the same. Parking of this nature should...

Looks to me like it borrows a lot of the design & cladding choices from the Singhmar Centre across the street. Which, while not a marvel, is a nice building all the same even with a lot of blank faces, they at least get nice textured cladding.

I've been wondering how susceptible Edmonton is to something similar happening, but haven't really been able to find anything on it, nor any local media reports talking to Epcor about it. Anyone with more insight as to how at risk we are on this, or if Epcor truly is on top of it moreso than...

Hope we see the brickwork & cladding go up soon, eager to see how it translates to real life from the renders. The quality of the finish materials will make a big difference on this one

Yup. Nothing wrong with 6 stories, it's a matter of the design. Big difference between a typical suburb build and a stuff like Stadium Yards or some of the great smaller stuff you see in other cities. Fingers crossed, I guess...

New signage going up on the tower, someone on Reddit caught them putting it up by helicopter. Pretty neat

No update other than to say when I was driving down Jasper today, looking up 108th this is definitely impactful for a smaller building. Mix in with Lilac, and hopefully Parks Pt 2 & connector, gonna be a night & day difference for the feeling of that street. Good to see

Unfortunately the pedestrian detour remains at ground level through the winter, not over the bridge.

Unconfirmed reports that it's being turned into a Costco Business Centre.

It's the most Edmonton thing you can do!

At this time it's just a site announcement. But they said in the announcement this allows them to: - planning to determine space & service needs has begun - business case is completed - remainder of planning phases on track to be completed in 2026 - THEN they will secure the funding - will be...

Yup, this one doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Though, the walkable services should be improving somewhat with the Michener Park development. Still an extremely odd choice, seems almost like it was chosen for how easy it would be to build (given it's greenfield) rather than any other...

51st ave & 122 Street looks to be the new location
