The fact that they have offices in Kelowna, Calgary and Grande Prairie but not in Edmonton tells us all we need to know.

I would literally take an unsanctioned gravel parking lot with potholes the size of grizzly bears than this project. And nothing anybody can say would ever change my mind. Garbage like this proposal cannot be permitted to exist, even in feverish nightmares.

And those trees in the renderings? How many decades will those take to grow? C'mon now.

Nothing about this is acceptable. Really unbelievable that this is even proposed, what will be worse is when some sort of bad 'improved' version of it starts construction. Do not look at the first page of this thread at what could have been. The prospects for this site really went from downtown Toronto to Nisku truckstop.
This design would be unacceptable in the suburbs, much less the downtown of a city the size of Edmonton. Shame

SCATHING but accurate.

These renderings show a product that, if seen to execution, will embody all of the worst design principles of Edmonton's current development scene; random blocky grey patterns failing to break up blank walls between tiny punched-in windows. I didn't have much faith based on the website, but this is a really offensive proposal, to be honest.

This location and Edmonton as a whole deserves higher quality architecture and urban design. I'd hate to see the city I've grown up in and that I love get cheapened by this.

This looks like a hospital. What a waste of a great location.

 

[IanO]

The upper portions are inexcusable, period.

 

[Out of Towner]

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

That's a national embarrassment.

Edmonton Remand 2.0 to be sure. Lock up whoever designed that POS.

 

[NicolBolas]

Yeah I'm on team gravel parking lot over this trash.

I sent a message to my councilor Aaron Piquette over this one.

Yes, it is a waste of great location. Although actually, I think many hospitals look better. It has been quite a while since our former mayor said no more crap. It seems crap has a way of creeping back in.

Sent as well. I don't hate it as much as most of you do, but we can and should expect more from a project that will occupy such a huge footprint.

 

[Barnaby]

My problem with hating this is that the prominent Edmonton developers should be bringing enough quality to drown out how bad this is.

Obviously I'm happy with the unit count, but this shouldn't even be a competitive proposal.

I ultimately want more people living DT above anything else.
