I think it'll be... fine. And there's no need for retail here. The immediate vicinity has abundant underutilized (or completely unutilized) retail. Downtown is not desperate for new retail space, it's desperate for people to make the existing spaces viable.

This thread is the most substantial development relating to Alldritt in existence.

I suspect so. During discussions regarding technology deployment in the new spaces and backfilling the coming vacant space, I was told it was nearly all going to be sciences as they're bursting at the seams and would be a good interim fit until more purpose built space can be built.

Looks like 6 floors. The top floor has some higher ceilings with double-height windows on a few units.

Edmonton really needs more brick. MacEwan has been knocking their architecture out of the park.

Tasteful cladding and a park/playground with trees (I love a little birch pocket forest) in the courtyard would make this shine.

49th Battalion at 137 Ave and Castledowns road on the SW corner of Griesbach is wild. It's gotta be 500 units.

Competition is getting fierce, and there also seems to be a pretty strong market for smaller living units paired with great shared amenities.

I'll set my expectations low but I really hope they take inspiration from some of the better concepts in the area like Boudreau in St Albert or even Brewery District. The renders make it look like there will be the tiniest bit of pedestrian experience, but ultimately I expect it'll be the same...

I can't wait until we pass an undeveloped land tax so these parcels can get moved to developers who develop land in addition to renderings.

You say that until the gig drivers show up to those stores for pickups. They can't handle straight roads with parking, just imagine what they'll do with businesses fronting a traffic circle.

And yet oddly better than much of the midrise being built, if this is any indication of what it could look like

Can't wait for this one!

That first one looks like a huge waste of unnecessary roadway.

Very cool. I hope they execute well. There's definitely no shortage of demand as long as the space delivers.
