Uh, 100% gonna disagree with you there. It's an issue throughout the entire metro Vancouver area, all the way out to the Fraser Valley and south to White Rock. The only area that is generally able to escape the nuttiness is West Van, away from its commercial areas.

Nice company you've got there, Edmonton. 🤨

Counterpoint: urban elites can't even spell suburbanite properly. 😚 I kid, I kid.

Pie in the sky were the plans to re-use City Centre in the first place.

It would be my perspective that the parking structures at the NW corner of the overall project must be demolished as part of a truly comprehensive redevelopment. Replace with fully underground parking and construct above, akin to what you have at the Ice District. The life expectancy of those...

Don't want to burst many bubbles, but the only, ONLY, CAPX dollars that gets spent in receivership will almost always only pertain to life/safety matters, potential legal liabilities. You can bet that the 555-era parking garages aren't exactly paragons of engineering excellence.

Sigh... again with the anti-female vitriol: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Slag Could we debate the topic without the political baggage? This is so tiring and adds nothing but hatred to the discussion.

And that would be the first step toward a proper demolition of the entire ECC West project. That is the ONLY way to go. All that adaptive re-use claptrap talk is just a set of handcuffs. Wipe the slate clean.

Talk about a road that could have been put on the proverbial diet. There's no reason to have roads that wide in that part of the city. This is low hanging fruit, people. And angled parking? Welcome to Westlock, I suppose?

I'm not for tall, for tall's sake. I'm saying that anything like a mid-rise would get swallowed by its surroundings and feel claustrophobic. As a residential site, that'd be oppressive.

It absolutely needs to be tall. Otherwise, it'll be consumed by its surroundings and become nondescript.

With Edmonton's trajectory these days, I would say the best you'll see is Ever Red: clapboard plus. They have got to be one of the most ghetto developers I've ever seen.

Ugh. The cookies from that cutter are already stale. Hard pass. I'd rather keep that parking lot going another 5-10 years until market conditions are more conducive to something more inspirational than this.

Alberta used to have that years ago, did it not?

A.I. wants its script back: "Ma Chef, located in Edmonton, is a hidden gem celebrated for its authentic Korean cuisine. Diners rave about the exquisite flavors and generous portions, with highlights such as the succulent pork belly, perfectly crafted dumplings, and the must-try chef's special...
