Love that we are getting more much needed shelter space and social services, but I really wish that the suburb neighborhoods and cities would start contributing so that the inner city didn't have to take on the whole issue itself.

The new storage facility? On 116th north of unity square. Sorry for the poor image quality, but I’m kind of loving the outrageous scale of this for that spot if that steel is in fact going to be the buildings outline

I’m curious if anyone complaining about this one can explain what makes this a suburb building and not an urban building, aside from no CRU’s. We need to fill out the emptiness that is our downtown and get people living there if it’s ever going to be a success and this is a great addition to that.

This is the kind of development we need in the area! even after this is built there will still be dozens of sites left to put towers. It would be great to see shovels in the ground for this and a few others this spring!

Edmonton's climate is pretty much on the borderline for the plant zone that most popular cedars fall in to. If you plant the cedar early in the season and take good care of it and let it get established there's a good chance for it to survive the winter, but if you have a bunch of cedars that...

completed crane and state of the pit from today. Please ignore the awful lighting

124th has an A&W, KFC, and McDonalds already. They're just on the opposite end of the street from where Mercury is though.

Theres not a business on 124th that wouldn't benefit from having a few dozen out of towners staying in the neighbourhood every night. And from what I've seen, 124th is the area I would want to show off to visitors if I was trying to give them a good impression of the city. I'm not saying it...

A rising tide lifts all ships.. or something like that.

I've been saying for a long time that 124th st needs one, hopefully the chances are high

Density like this already exists in the area, and with there being virtually no tourists in the area, the businesses on 124th need as many residents in the area as possible.

I can't imagine once they start this that it will take too long to finish right? Tearing out old parking lots, doing some utilities work, and landscaping shouldn't be too long of a construction period.

I'm curious if anyone had heard anything about plans for the old warehouses behind this site between it and The Edward? They are mostly empty from what I've notice and would definitely not be missed if they were redeveloped. They also have a red outline around them in the photo.

I think context matters. In my opinion empty lots 100% should be the priority, but I would also consider condemned buildings as empty lots as is partially the case here.

Is the phase 2 podium that's built going to be residential? I can't imagine too many people would want to live below a tower construction if that's the case.

Good friend of mine was one of the buildings original tenants. Had plumbing issues a couple of times in the first month but after that he didn't complain to me at least.

I'm surprised this is the first news on the lots of this 124th section, with the stop right there this will be prime real estate! Hopefully developers are willing to get stuff built rather than sitting on the sites for years speculating.

Feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back with these comparisons. Still moving forward though!

One level of public parking maybe?
