Remember BMO, I member

I agree this is terrible. If I can design a building by only using Microsoft Excel cell border functions then we shouldn't praise it.

Komrade this looks like a glorious building.

Im hoping for redevelopment in the form of a wrecking ball. Sure it will probably turn into City Center Mall Gravel Parking lot for the next 20 years but maybe we can get a cool building there that looks less like Leonid Brezhnev personally designed it.

Looks like a building one would seize the means of production in.

Can we rename this thread to Arlington gravel parking lot?

I don't think that will solve the problem of Edmonton lacking an actual North/South corridor. The best we have is 75 street and that isn't saying much. If this was City Skylines, I would personally build a 6 lane highway directly under the city... Problem solved.

Just thinking if they haven't done geotechnical yet, engineering hasn't even started in earnest. Project completion by 2028 is pretty tight, especially with procurement timelines like they are now.

I think I will be in the grave before that happens.

Happy to see more development happen here, I would be thrilled to see this turn into a legitimate tourist destination.

I haven't seen any geotechnical work being conducted in this area as of yet, unless decent studies already exist.

The constant victim mentality people have now is pathetic. Many of these people are victims are of their own stupid choices in life. This is like saying people who smoke cigarettes are in a mental health crisis, I don't buy the semantic slight of hand. I feel sorry for the business owners who...

Edmonton simply needs to enforce by-law we already have in place. I hate to say but we just need to come to the realization that we can't save everyone. Yes, there are people who want a ticket out of homelessness and addiction, we should support that. However there are also people who don't...

That's not a apples to apples comparison. For $3000 a month you are also getting an actual downtown lifestyle, unfortunately Edmonton can't really provide a similar experience, we can't even provide a similar experience to Calgary now. While I agree with developing downtown, what we are doing...

I think alot of these people want single family homes, particularly if they are transplants from GTA or the Lower Mainland. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to go from downtown Toronto or Vancouver and end up on 104st and Jasper.

I would assume it's slower then expected given comparables in the downtown area. Developers want to clear off WIP cash as quickly as possible to make the asset a tangible sale to investment firms and of course to have some positive cash flow to secure loans for the next one.

Unfortunately PIPs take a significant amount of time and require a not insignificant amount of regulatory work to get there. I'm a project manager on large utility projects and with this being on a flood plane, Gene is going to need an advanced hydrology study done and likely a geotechnical...

I really hope this goes through, Edmonton is in desperate need of interesting architecture.

Yes yes we get it, you are preaching to the choir that social disorder drives away development dollars. So how bout them buildings, I like tall ones with lots of podium level commerical spaces. I really like when the podium reflects the area's historical architecture and style, eg: 104 Street
