Massey Ferguson Building Redevelopment | ?m | 6s | Rise Real Estate | WZMH

Yeah, on a practical level I'm skeptical of how well these will rent. Maybe if the interiors are really thoughtfully designed, but if the exteriors are this bland that doesn't seem likely.

I think a certain kind of developer thinks that students are undiscerning and will put up with anything—hence all the awful projects in Garneau and Strathcona. I hope they're wrong.

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

Nah it's just bad design. Montreal's CHUM hospital looks better and has better urban integration than much of Edmonton's residential right in the core.

I think one of the sad parts about this building, or even this area, is the building that we see that potentially will be built is going to be still looking way better than the building right across the streets from it there on 106th Street

Is this being strategic enough? I would think in this day and age, that people covet their LinkedIn profiles? Why not be strategic with criticism of Faction Projects on their LinkedIn? In a simple search, I have come up with three potential company personnel to target: Bruce Chapman, Director; Avi Thiessen, Director of Operations, and Merlin Everett (Development Coordinator - Edmonton). I am a new member so if this is not an appropriate post please remove.

^ I believe in order for this to work one would have to be extra-polite when posting a critique on an individual's Linkedin page.

Agreed.

 

[NicolBolas]

Agreed.

I think a better way is to email them directly and cc all of the city councillors and mayor.

Also we should probably start a Facebook group or something so we can have more reach about new buildings and in this one's case future ghetto creating characteristics. Our forum while of course I like it is rather niche.

I ultimately want more people living DT above anything else.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and this proposal isn't just the road, it's the destination.

Enshittification is hitting everything even downtown developments.
