I like that they are starting the white lines on the balcony. I thought maybe they had scrapped it and the balconies looked kind of shit with out it.

Large events like the olympics or the World Cup are known for cost overruns and negative legacies. In A tournament with as many host cities as 2026, depending on which teams Edmonton hosted, it would have had limited international exposure. But I think it would have been a positive for the...

“That proved to be a miscalculation that hurt Edmonton’s bid. FIFA is like the mafia — it isn’t used to having cities make demands of it like that. You don't hold them up at knife point and try to dictate terms to them, which is essentially what the Alberta government did. The fact that the...

Um, is the UCP’s ridiculous ask not 100% to blame here? They wanted three Canadian host cities but one of those cities was only going to be given provincial funding if given 5 very specific games leaving 5 games to be split between two much higher profile cities. STUPID. I don’t blame FIFA at...

I think this building just had to come down because of LRT. You can see how much it sticks out compared to all the newer buildings in brewery https://www.edmonton.ca/sites/default/files/public-files/assets/VLW_Booklet.pdf

Gross lol. Only went there once. Had a broken ankle so I was carrying my beer in my teeth walking on crutches... so I fit in with the crowd quite well. i really wish they had kept the more prominent water feature. Edmonton doesn’t have anywhere where you can sit ON the water. Wonder if the hill...

article from october says a safety film was being installed. I’m assuming they have judged it to be safe(ish) enough if a couple thousand people were allowed to hang out under it the last couple weeks...

Not sure how new this is but google satellite has been updated and shows blatchford development and LRT construction :)

One floor to go.

When you see this one up close, it’s more clear that there is a mixture of finished and unfinished surfaces. The finished surfaces actually look pretty good, and once complete this one MIGHT turn out alright. It just looks awful at the moment when you see it from afar because theres way too much...

https://www.novahotels.ca/ château Lacombe was a recent purchase for them wasn’t it? If you had a very large hotel chain I’m sure you’d be hesitant to do a bunch of capital improvements during a pandemic too! Lol. Imagine their occupancy rates 2020… But not finishing those last few panels of...

https://ashfordhousepub.com/ about damn time. The other spot I walk by that’s dying for a restaurant/pub is the spot in the Molsen building with the giant raised patio beside Loblaws and Wilfred’s

https://capitalprideyeg.ca/ Pride used to be the unofficial kick off party of the festival season… I understand there was concerns about inclusivity and the protest history of pride… but I really wish there was still a parade and big ass party. It was always such a good atmosphere at Churchhill...

This one was shut down for a few days because of an injury according to the building manager across the street from it. But looks like they are full steam ahead again. They did all the walls for the fifth floor in like three days.

Busy week. A lot of showers. Balconies starting.

What year? ‘04 for me :)

My first place when I moved out on my own was in the building that shall not be named at the bottom of 105st. When the light turned green and people gunned it up the hill you literally couldn’t here your tv for a good 10-15 seconds lol.

I just realized the loft is open to below. Not sure how I read it as 2 bed plus den since it clearly says 2 bed plus loft. Missed that before…oops. So I guess they main level office space is being counted as a bedroom. brain fart/posting after drinking wine lol

Cranes were swinging pretty good tonight.

Why 2 bed plus den? Why not market as 3 bed and let people decide? Is the den not a legal bedroom somehow? I’m hoping Oliver crossing is a decent like this one. This one also looked like shit while under construction
