"Those Edmontonians, they're simple folk. As long as it's got Spandrel they'll keep quiet"

Oh man, what a stunner. Well done, MoDA! I really hope this starts a trend towards good design for low rise development in our city.

It's horrific compared to what was originally proposed. I understand economics and plans can change, but this is so disappointing for such a important lot on one of our most vibrant streets. It really doesn't set a good precedent for future projects on Whyte in my opinion.

I'm honestly more excited about the reclad of the parking garage than anything else. It was most definitely overdue, and is very important to that stretch of 103 Ave.

Not sure where the restaurant is going, but a top floor one would be amazing ambiance with all that glass.

That's very close to my house, will definitely be visiting.

Honestly, it's about time. We've waited too long for quality as a city.

IanO on C2E was saying the lighting system might not be happening?

As per kcantor on C2E, who needs no introduction:

This is something I had more in mind for the Augustana site. It looks great.

My wife is crossing her fingers that a Starbucks opens in there as well. Would be within walking distance from our house!

Absolutely gorgeous.

The removal of the floor-to-ceiling windows doesn't bother me as long as they keep the pixelated colour effect of the panelling around them.

Love the gradient effect on the masonry. Wish more projects did this.

This was what was submitted to the competition that ultimately became the CoE tower in the Ice District, right? There were some great proposals submitted, I remember the redbrick one as well, it looked amazing.

Not a fan of the design at all, looks pretty standard Kennedy to me. If it's just for massing and subject to change, then I'll reserve my judgement until then.

Those look like Prison Cell windows.

I wish the tower wasn't so uniform. It would be interesting to see each floor's windows offset a bit to create a gradient or pattern as the tower rises.

Absolutely incredible. This can't get built fast enough.

I'm still out on the multi-coloured glass. I know it's the brand identity of EPL, but it looks tacky. I guess we'll see what it's like once complete.
