"To construct 4 Residential buildings (Multi-unit Housing for a total of 696 Dwellings) with a common underground parkade. "

Can someone tell me how large those 696 units are going to be?

^^ Even the low-rise portion of the previous proposal from years back is superior to the hapless effort from the Kelowna crew.

WOW this is unbelievably mediocre..

One thing to note though, the trees in the render are covering up the lower half which is the only part that isn't just a grey box, so it might look slightly better in reality.

Hopefully EDC gets them to add at least some warmer colours though.

Wow, that's a big downgrade. TBH, I wouldn't even mind the downgrade of the scale if the design and especially the materials were better. I mean, they could have taken away the towers and left the podium and it would have been way better.

Exactly. They could have simply gone with the podium of the previous design and it would have been good.

The EDC needs to get them to add more than just warmer colors. Also required are bigger windows, balconies and retail CRUs.

My friend said it looks like a prefab remote arctic research outpost.

Ugh its kinda depressing how all the products have just turned into value engineering.

Just got back from the UK and Unite Students have done a good job of developing some nice looking student housing. I particularly liked some of the buildings in Manchester (example 1 and example 2). Even some of the more basic buildings are way better than this (example 3 and example 4). Shame we couldn't get something a little closer in architecture here.

I love the EDC, but they have no teeth. It's all just a recommendation.

There is literally an infinite number of ways to improve this... these guys have obviously thought of Edmonton as an outpost not worthy of any kind of effort. Maybe we should send Edmonton's waste to their town and see how they like it. Edmonton is partly to blame by normalizing some of the 6-storey crap that is being shoveled to the locals as quality projects... locals are beginning to wise up.

Yes, the new proposal is crap. If they are going to make this ... really just don't bother.
