Had to double check if today is Saturday (isn't everyone, really?) b/c construction on Valley Line at Churchill Square and the Jasper Ave New Vision on 100-97 st is full steam ahead (no reduction in crew from what I can see). There is never action on these sites during the weekends. Makes me...

Noticed they started wrapping the HVAC unit at the top as of today. Looked good from afar. ?

I really hope the post above still stands, and the podium work continues. However, based on the Ice district cams that I've been checking out every day, the site over the past two days has been void of bodies when I do take a peek.

Just an observation, but these condo/apt developments have a whole bunch of ugly power lines/cables right up on their grill. ? In the meantime anyway... I believe I read somewhere the city is planning on relocating the cables underground as part of the 105 ave rehab edit: late to the party -...

Would be amazing if the city comes through and does this. A central park downtown of this size doesn't happen often. Also noticed that the park includes the lot that is/was up for sale by Lamb for the defunct Jasper House condos. I'll take Dave's advice and not take the render too literally...

I just realized Doan's Vietnamese restaurant is missing, and the lot absorbed into the park. Last I read, Doan's refused to give up their land. Did I miss something?

Compared with the render ^, I'm actually digging the re-design top portion. Looks less busy, and more modern and sleek - especially with the dark color scheme going on.

^ Here's a million dollar idea somebody can steal: create a locked parcel box designed for your home, like they do with those CanadaPost parcel boxes in apartment buildings. Just hope ticked off porch pirates don't drop flaming poop or other undesirable alternatives inside.

Close, was taken from my apartment at MacDonald Estates on 27 ?

Just noticed this evening that the LED lighting at top of JW is on (and staying on until now - so for several hours already). I'm not sure if there is a blue light theme disco jam going on at the top on a Saturday night, or this is the lighting they were talking about. I'm no expert in LED...

This is the new downtown Edmonton, and I love it! Great photo I stumbled across and decided to share credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EncoreTower.jpg

^ The photo gallery for each project separates this site from the rest as well. It is a very handy resource. It's nice to easily follow, and look back at how these new developments change over time. It'll be a fun watch for Alldritt, that's for sure.

Sadly, in an alternate reality somewhere, the image caption is in fact true...

The funny thing is, I've walked by and looked at those panels regularly as construction progressed; it just never occurred to me to keep looking at them while moving. ?

^ So all the same panels? I seriously thought they were all different colors and formed a gradient across.

Once ice district phase 2 get's going and completed, this photo... will resemble this... Ok, not quite as bad. But I really hope that East side get's better. All Happy was my go-to food joint those late nights long ago, and I feel for the owners.

yes, this please: ( Funders of the High Line park raised a total of over $150 million (equivalent to $175,174,000 in 2018). )

How cool if the top of high level bridge develops it's own little micro economy with little shops and vendors? ?

^ looks like it's (sub-)penthouse glazing time. Curious at the transition to all flat across north wall.

Economics aside, would be cool to see what would happen if there were high speed rail, integrated with ETS and Calgary Transit. A day pass (at the current price) would allow you to use unlimited transit in both cities for 24 hours!
