WRONG WRONG WRONG location for this stuff. It could be great product, who knows, but this built form is for the densifying the burbs, not under-densifying an urban core. Much higher density in that core location is the only thing defensible. My Gawd, next thing you know they'll be building...

I've heard of polishing a turd but you'd have to destroy all of the earth's resources to create enough polish to redeem that.... "thing".

I find this viewpoint somewhat puzzling. This isn't some Sherwood Park motel. A true downtown hotel would not need significant parking. You wouldn't be serving people who've driven in from Prince George. You'd be serving the type of guest that's flown into town.

That's actually a winter snow pile, Padawan.

Oh man. Back when Edmonton could be optimistic and look to the future with hope. FCC1982, you've got my respect.

Oh man what a mess. That has so many dated design trends all rolled up around I get sea-sick just looking at it.

Railtown is suburban development pure and simple. And that's where it should have been dumped, on the same dumpsite as Century Gardens or whatever the Heritage Mall lands have devolved further into.

Oh WOW. Absolutely loving the modernist look with that. Back when Edmonton could think big and look forward.

Sheesh. When did trailer parks start going vertical?
