Thanks Dave!

Good to know. I am new to the forum and new to the works and planning of buildings. But have recently found an interest in it. I knew there was a lot of work on the back end and a lot of planning and meetings before things can proceed but it's good to hear things a little more in depth of the...

I'm wondering the same. Fingers crossed it continues!

According to Wikipedia they have it slated for construction to begin in October of this year, 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Edmonton

Still not much progress on this site hey? I suspect the full remediation will hold this site up for a while. I hope this stays true to the renderings without the brown/orange lines/markings. I get that you want it to be different or add character but those aren't exactly attractive...

@Platinum107 makes sense. How unfortunate that they have to go that tall just to compensate for a strong foundation and to make the investment worth while :p. If only there were more situations like this to boost the appearance of our skyline :).

Phase 2 has a lot of potential. I thought initially that where the Baccarat is located was to be a "trophy tower" and thought that was supposed to be part of phase 1?

Any updates on this building? Also, does anyone know if this is proposed to be on the same site as the proposed/rendered Fairmont tower? http://humphreys.ca/project/fairmont-tower/

@Daveography Awesome. I was hoping it would be taller (I know it's height is 251m but visually hoping where it is isn't 251m yet). Here is the most recent look at Stantec. Are these for the mechanical floor(s)? http://www.rogersplace.com/time-lapse-5/ Those beams seem pretty tall for just a...

Great shots @Daveography. I especially like the shot of the Marriott with Edmonton tower in the foreground and the crane with its haul in mid air.

Reducing the height again? Come on Katz. The early renderings had this thing looking almost as tall as the JW Marriott. What a shame. I sure hope this isn't the final design... it's far too plain. The original design was far more attractive than this lego block.

So Stantec is at or nearing it's final height then?

I certainly hope so as well. The renderings of this building look phenomenal. I don't mean to knock Stantec but this will be the icon the city needs. Stantec is just a rectangular box... kind of lacking some character in my opinion. I love it's height but there's not much else going for it by...

I don't know much about about zoning and how the council works. Carried, meaning approved? Is this just the design committee approving (carrying) or was this City council approving the zoning and design? Sorry I am new to this page and forum but have an interest and am excited to learn more.

Time will tell. But the old saying goes "If you build it they will come".

Nice shots. My only problem with the Symphony tower is that it isn't tall enough. This could have been quite the icon if it were around 140-160m. Great looking building though!
