It'll certainly be severely underutilized due to lack of staying amenities. I'm sure people will jog the trails and people will use the hoops. I feel like the playground will be quite cheap and everything else will feel like an underwhelming grass-space. A great stamp on the downtown core of why...

Clueless, none of those things create ambient white noise to drown out city noise and sirens. The result is a less inviting park with no place to gather. Also that feature is not large enough to become a maintenance nightmare. I used to own a landscaping company and we designed/build comparable...

It'll be interesting to see what impact the relocation has on Downtown's crime rate.

Lots of old people selling farms and acreages wanna move to condos like those as well because they’re easy to get back to wherever they came from and are surrounded by some solid amenities quite often.

There was a show called "Under Arrest" on Netflix for awhile that followed EPS officers during the early-ish 2000s and late 90s. Well worth putting your pirate hat on and sailing the high seas for.

On the bright side it’s an ideal location for a new courthouse if that ever becomes a reality.

Love that cladding. This building is going to be something genuinely beautiful and unique.

Looking back at the old rederings; though those renovations would have been wildly impractical for this building's structure and layout what a cool story it would have been to take a former prison and turn it into a sanctuary.

I'm down for this. Put it far away from my place which is right beside the existing one too lol.

If that's the case do I have large slabs of marble to sell you.

The fact that we are talking about space constraints for a 1.4 hectare park is a sign in itself that it is disproportionately designed and maybe the city should go back to the drawing board.

The function of water features isn't just aesthetics, it has to do with creating white noise to drown out city noise and make a park more pleasant and inviting. They expropriated millions of dollars worth of land for a half measure and a straight up lie (put a bloody vault in for crying out...

If you like to scroll while pooping at work I recommend checking out the "Unbuilt" pages. There's over a dozen pages of unrecognized projects in and around the downtown core and some beyond. Edmonton really was a victim of taking it's next step as a major metropolitan city at the time that we...

Hey man I'll give high praise to plenty of developments. I really appreciate a lot of builds around this city. Some towers however simply look terrible and there's no reason to deny our architectural game is behind that of other cities.

Anyone remember the early designs that caused all the controversy in the community? Yikes, what we got feels like a spite move from the developer.

Swedish Aspens around the park perimeter babyyyyyyy

Some places. Things seem pretty quiet on the condo front downtown selling my place. Lots of looks, only one potential offer that they backed out of due to financing. Still a long ways to go I think. I wish I could hold another year for the park but I'm buying a house in BC and need to...

The single use corporation thing is such a joke. Law should be put in place where, when negligence is found, whoever was on the board can be pursued for the life of the development. So if load bearing beams for example are missing, it doesn't matter HOW long it's been, the victims of the...

Did you just ASSUME his career?! GOSH :eek:

Take a picture every day from the same tripod location! That would be sweet. A year's worth of shots would net you a ten second video.
