I'm a certified hater so knowing that the scumbags ownership at Go Auto likely took a massive financial L on the entire L'OCA venture gives me sick pleasure.

Considering this is a website called 'Skyrise Edmonton', it may be understandable why folks are disappointed about another stick six vs a highrise like originally proposed. That said, I agree it's a tad early to judge design and personally I'll take this project every day of the week to fill up...

From the outside looking in, proceeding with construction while still stickhandling the design/programming with the intent to tender work in future phases during a high inflation environment seems like an exceptionally risky decision. Especially when the contractor and consultants know they can...

Coronation Park Rec Centre, which is a smaller facility but still a nine figure project, started construction only a few months ahead of this project yet it was delivered under budget (and ahead of schedule) with seemingly little required value engineering. So WTF happened here?

This + social disorder of street facing fast food locations. Look at the issues Tim's in Commerce Place faces as a street facing store: Staff harassment, loitering, ODs, vandalism, smashed windows, sanitary issues, etc.

Say what you want about Capilano (strip) mall, but it was a very well executed repositioning of a struggling asset. Lots of opportunity at the current Westmount mall site, curious to see what they propose. Rumors of a Lulu there sound far fetched but I could see FCR trying to make a push for...

Do you know if there's an approx. timeline it will re-open or if it's long term until track/etc construction is roughly complete?

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music (FWCM) has requested an additional $33.4 million as a contribution to the construction to complete the interior fit-out of the expansion project. The Capital City Downtown CRL reserve has a $20.9 million deficit; therefore, this request will further...

With how much ag land the U of A's farm is losing between West 240 and the new Stollery, at what point do they start taking a hard look at consolidating some of their ag land/research facilities elsewhere to allow for a master redevelopment plan for south campus? Hard not to think there may be...

Many thanks for the clarity!

Did they give any more info on scope of work for this? I suspect this isn't for full alley repaving but likely repaving sections where the alley tarmac will excavated via hydrovac, assumedly for utility upgrades/inspection. Which is exactly what EPCOR did last summer to my alley (one of very...

Brian AI Slop Architects strikes again

Very exciting that this project is moving forward. Going to be a fantastic addition to the NAIT campus.

+ waiting on how the Federal NDP leadership election shakes out. If Avi Lewis wins, ADNDP is cooked, even if they continue to publicly distancing themselves.

Almost time for the City to start brainstorming more projects to tie up this area ;) Maybe a cut and cover job to reseal the roof/ceiling of Churchill Station?
