Disagree with the bolded although I do understand that the public input can also hinder the progression of a project. A double edged-sword. No need to start another thread. since the Block BG thread has always been a great place to discuss anything.🙃

Not sure why you're asking if one donated to this. 13 million is already from the city. Even if it's one red cent coming from the taxpayer, the Edmonton public should know about changes to projects that they contribute to and have an opportunity to have their say about those changes. I...

I don't mind the new render at all. The previous render I found the roof/shell to be odd looking. The original "cube' render was probably the best looking one though.

That sums up my feelings for most of these newer residential tower developments. I could take or leave it in regards to their designs. Encore, Ultima, Pearl and Symphony are the only one's I find visually appealing or at least in some aspects. Probably has to do with me liking towers that are...

^Great angle, Red ATCO looks awesome. 🙂

We've been kicking butt with under 100m towers lately.:rolleyes:

Agreed. I know that Aldritt has a stockpile of bricks from that era to use on their proposed :rolleyes: tower's podium. Developers did such a nice job with the Kelly Ramsay facade. They salvaged what bricks they could and numbered them for proper placement. It must take some real expertise to...

^^^ If Stantec had a baby. ;)

Vision/Fantasy

Don't be sad. Any project that is proposed, for YEG, ,just cut your expectations in half and add 5+ years for the proposed completion date and you'll be fine. :rolleyes: ;)

Fifty dollars for an annual pass for me and my immediate family for unlimited rides would be a bargain. I think 4-6 CAD is reasonable for individual return trips. This city deserves something like this. What better way to show off it's assets. Don't mess this up CoE like I know you can. :mad:

This is almost as disturbing as the rubble.. The signage is ridiculous. A big RBC sign with CIty Center being the secondary above it Come.on...really? Showcase the main property first and foremost. :rolleyes: (@Airboy hope you don't mind the crop)

How is it that Westrich Pacific can build the Ultima, Encore and the View with 100, 90 and 74 percent sold respectively but One Properties can't get this single tower built? What am I missing here?

I did. . Although it was very limited due to health issues. I was a member of ERRS in 2018. They're a great bunch over there.. Very warm and welcoming folk. Their fleet of Streetcars are impressive. Took years of volunteer time to restore some of them. CIty would have to contribute dollars and...

You have some nice ideas here. While there' isn't much historical left in the core, it could be brought back somewhat if there was a broader, more ambitious vision for this city. It's basically working with what we have. left and tying it together nicely. Giving residents and tourists something...

Really appreciate your post. When you list the Hudson and Block BG as no application received, does that mean there's an intent to submit ?

Downtown Orlando does a this on the weekends. The city blocks Orange Ave and Church Street for pedestrian use only with police presence.. Bustling with people going to different clubs/bars and restaurants. I'd like to see that happen here even if it's for just the weekends. Need more...

Banc - quet ;)

I've mentioned this before but I think it's worth repeating again. What if they curved some of the sharp corners and points around the building and darken the exterior panels to a dark grey or black. I think that would improve the look immensely. and wouldn't cost much.?! Add some greenery...
