Its rare nowadays to get a definitive announcement for construction like this. Excited to see this unique building rise!

This pic right here. Whie I'd appreciate some higher quality architecture, I love the scale of these buildings and I'm really excited to see Columbia ave keep expanding. The CRUs and pocket park are awesome 🤩 More of this near LRT as well please!

The big blank wall dividing the top floor is interesting, but otherwise, 💯🤩

Come on, Beljan. It just doesn't make sense it me. Why would you go with this design when you can make a classier looking building with LESS materials? Why did we go with a surburban-style peaked roof?? I'm getting tired of this, man. 😭

It likely will, which is pretty bad when considering that its deep in suburbia with (currently) pretty subpar transit access and walkability. Suburbs should be dense, but the inner city should be denser imo lol

I ❤️ Corona Station and its Chandeliers bro. Probably my favourite LRT Station in terms of station design!

Like... Why the clap board siding?? Just go with the panels and stick to 2 colours and materials, would like 2x better.

Okay I kinda see where you're coming from. They definitely look better in person, and these buildings do have relatively simple designs when compared with the great examples you shared here. With that said, I guess these buildings have achieved something that, while not world class, has been...

the transformation of this area of downtown is kinda unreal. dozens of empty parking lots into a new downtown park and 1000+ units of residential is pretty sick!

Every time a dead thread gives me a notification I now always assume its someone asking "is this ever happening?". It really feels like there's little hope here sometimes 😭

While it is suuuuper disappointing to see another parking lot be created, it's obvious that Westrich is playing the long game, guys. Edmonton's market for downtown construction has literally been at rock, and I mean ROCK 🪨 bottom for the past 6 years. There has been so little capacity for new...

No ur right, my desire for vibez just clashes with how I believe things actually should be lol. I want people in the LRT station 😭

"Odd" is a funny way of saying hauntingly liminal and beautiful. I LOVE the vibe of our mid-century modern underground station architecture and how each station is kinda unique in its own way. Could some stations like Central get revitalization work done and better sight lines? Sure, but the...
