You can more or less judge the nature of humans by the company they keep. For those who are willing, it might be interesting to know what pets form part of your domestic household. We have a 5-year-old Australian Cobber Dog named "Rutland's Governor Grrizzwald of Corn-on-the-Cobberdog...

Edmonton already has one pronounced example of a street makeover, that being 96th Street between Jasper Avenue and 104th Avenue in the heart of the Boyle Street area, more recently named The Quarters. Largely a failure in that it was intended to spur development in the Quarters and, while there...

Edmonton is well situated for gaining (or expanding) a reputation as a premier college town -- aggressive campus expansion plans are in the works for the University of Alberta, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, MacEwan University, NorQuest College, Concordia University, King's...

I just got off the phone with a rep from Westrich regarding their new tower on the southeast corner of 103rd Avenue and 104th Street, calling on behalf of a client that I have who has a large operation adjacent to the Staples Center in Los Angeles and a soon-to-be 7,200 sq.ft. Night Club in...

This Concept envisions renovating the existing High Level Bridge and repurposing it as a high-end boutique retail and eatery construct whereby the existing traffic deck and sidewalks are replaced with Commercial Retail Units (CRUs) and Commercial Hospitality Units (CHUs), modified to enable...

Victoria Park could be redesigned to great benefit for this portion of the River Valley. The golf course doesn't have to be reduced to nine holes -- it can remain as 18 holes where fairways are shared but there are two tee-positions and two greens -- each green pin could be marked with...

A couple of Snapz for context. I like the energy that Henok Kassaye is bringing to these building and land purchases in the mold of Beljan Developments.

From the Post... Pickleball: While it might not equal the disruption being experienced in Ottawa due to the truck convoy, cities in British Columbia are facing some upheaval of their own: dastardly pickleballers, who bat a perforated plastic ball back and forth with racquets in a game that...

There is value to be had on a Grand Scale if Edmonton looks at saving and repurposing the High Level Bridge and building a new "Living Bridge" along side it. Several Skyrise City-ites have asked how a repurposed High Level Bridge could exist if repurposed away from an auto-traffic route -- to...

I will start this off with things that I know and other things that I "almost" know and still other things that I hope we can bring about collectively.

These are intended as a respite from a mixed-up, muddled-up world -- a little beauty from the orb on which we are inhabitants...

A survey of builders, developers, and architects arrived at this report detailing amenities for multifamily housing...

I predict that Edmonton will regain the mantle of fastest growing major Canadian City for 2022/2023 -- "bright lights and urban sights"

I thought that it would be fun to post the daily tallies for weather related (initially) to five Canadian Cities as compared one to the other in a ranking system that accounts for temperature (highest = 5; lowest = 1), humidity (lowest = 5; highest =1), and precipitation (lowest = 5; highest =...

I am going to go out on a limb here (and Ian put that saw away and stay on the ground!) and say that this decade -- the 2020s -- will be Edmonton's, heart and soul. Once COVID parks itself in the local graveyard, great things are going to happen: 1. The Prairie Sky Gondola will absolutely...

Complete Club overhaul and addition -- design by Kennedy Architects of Edmonton --

This Edmonton Journal article is interesting from a couple of standpoints -- the community naming meme and the variation in the types of communities featured in this subdivision. http://edmontonjournal.com/life/homes/neighbourhood-spotlight-pilot-sound-takes-flight-in-edmontons-northeast
