^ I would remove Westrich from that list lest we end up with a 6-storey Wundergebäude as a solution

Would be interesting if it was Pangman/Day. Side by side gems: The existing Enbridge Place next to "TEGLER Tower". One can dream!!

^Pangman/Day or Maclab would be my preference

I’d be totally happy if this became a nice small park with a fountain and benches all round it

I would prefer a nice building with a recreation of elements of the Tegler to be built here asap, but if that doesn't happen something like the privately owned Melcor park space east of 102 Street and south of Jasper Ave would not be bad.

Any developer would win instant goodwill by putting a temporary park here until they decide what to do long term.

Would your proposed park also include the enclosed fence?

 

[David A]

It is not my decision, but I would prefer not enclosed like it. For many years the Melcor space actually was open, but things happened so they felt the need to control the space more.

Of course, in their case they also have a building right next to the space so this gives the tenants access to the space, which probably would not be the case on the 101 Street space.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Leston. They have been buying all over DT and wihkwentowin like crazy.

 

[MattPT]

This would be quite the leap for leston, no?

 

[ChazYEG]

It would, but if they partnered with the right developer, it could also be a legacy project for them. I still find it unlikely, but it's not outside of the realm of possibilities

Leston purchased Edmonton House (Edmonton's 10th tallest building) in 2024 so they certainly have the financial heft to move on the 101 project -- I will find out more.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Well whoever buys it, I do hope that they of course first clean up the lot, but I do hope that they also develop the property. We have way too many empty lots that could be developed but according to the landowners it isn't the time to develop, which I call BS when other good Developers seem to not have much difficulty doing it on their own.

Building a new high rise is different than purchasing an existing one, but perhaps this shows a company that is interested and ready to go on to bigger things.
