Surely you jest

Yikes! Madame Cataract's Rooming House. EDC could comment on this if they would be able to overcome their fits of laughter.

Thanks, I hate it.

There are some nice elements here and while I understand the target market is student housing, the tiny windows and lack of balconies makes this look like they re-used plans from a continuing care hospital campus

This is atrocious.

It appears quite institutional to me and is in alignment with other student housing in the city and other campuses that offer dense, single-room-type housing (Dalhousie comes to mind).

I really wish Regency was developing this site instead.

I actually don't mind this one tbh

But the southside one that has the brick facade is atrocious

Well on one side, the building will bring a bunch more people living in the area so that's a positive at least. As for the look of the building, that is definitely one of the most uninspired buildings that could have been put there.

1980s Soviet Block called and asked for their designs back,

You could simply apply the same alternating treatment above the original brick side, and it would look much better overall.

I think it was always going to be smaller windows, though, to reach the 696 units.

yuk, this looks worse than Baydo...or maybe about the same...

What the FCUK!!!! Remand Centre 2.0 is too nice a descriptor. Good god, Edmonton. I give up.

That's a national embarrassment.

What else would we expect from a “Student Housing” builder……..when you make a deal with the devil……
