If only your optimism had the power to grant life to all the dead projects you believe are anything but works of fiction.

Positive, negative, what I can say with absolute confidence is that every one of the rumours about Alldritt building anything have come up empty while the "negativity" around their inability to move dirt has to date been completely accurate.

Nah man, nothing makes me feel like a place is bumping like a handful of closed banks at 9pm.

Are the porta potties new?

If you tap a card again within 90 minutes does it charge you again or does it know you're still riding on the original fare?

Can they? Probably. I'm questioning whether they ever will, and it appears they have no intention of building much of anything based on their long history of not building anything.

Pop quiz: when was the last time Alldritt erected anything larger than a single family home or a white fence on a high-value piece of land?

Mandel is turning in his grave, and he's not even dead yet. https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/boxes-and-more-boxes-as-far-as-the-eye-can-see

Nobody's making out here. They sit in their cars playing Pokemon and throw Popeyes takeout containers on the curb.

Yet when the latest greenfield urban sprawl by the airport or on a field outside Sherwood Park or St. Albert gets going, people buy up like mad even though the nearest grocery store is a 10 minute drive. We have the most pathetic development community. They only know how to build out sprawl and...

The City really needs to stop living in a fantasy realm and embrace the reality that drivers make mistakes. Bollards are common globally to handle this very problem, yet seem to be anathema to local administration.

Ain't that the truth. The entire stretch from 9Triple8 to Hat has been significantly commercially redeveloped and had gorgeous new infrastructure put in place, resulting in a whole lot of nothing.

That would be a dismal failure. For comparison Griesbach is expected to hit 13,000 in what appears to be a slightly larger area, but is dominated by single family homes.

Materials and overall style is fine. It's the cold colour palette that hurts it. On an unrelated note, anyone have a sudden urge to find some Greek food for lunch?

Any word on tenants?

I was rather amused with the concept. We'll see if it's actually included. Overall the project looks pretty good, though the amount of surface parking really drives home the fact the two properties right along Griesbach Parade were intended to be mixed-use. It's tragic that didn't turn out as...

Best Buy moving to the mall would be a fantastic opportunity to redevelop that site into something more appropriate. It's not like there's a shortage of space in the mall for a location of the same size or larger if they wanted. It would also be the only major electronics store in the entire...

I'm pretty sure the way it works is the neighbourhing properties increase in value as the land they sit on are now established to be much more valuable. Nothing gets cheaper with this development.

The traffic department is staffed by a bunch of Magoo's who don't even live in the city. Leaving the future of the city's transportation completely in the hands of a group that can't envision anything other than wide roads for large pickups will ensure we grow into a hostile wasteland that sucks...
