Mongolia is the definition of no constraints. When you fly over it, it's like being on another planet. Ulaanbaatar is in a valley and they are all about private vehicles. They also have to deal with huge Ger districts because there is such a huge housing crisis.

I would go downtown more if it was appealing. I've traveled around the world, yeah you can't compare Edmonton to New York or Singapore, it will never be that alive. But when I was in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia even their downtown is more alive and surprisingly pretty comparable in terms of climate.

Northsider here. As with many of my kind we avoid downtown like the plague. I think parking at Costco on 50st is terrible so I drive to Sherwood Park.

Ok, this might just be a me problem, but other then the 1970s Soviet Union architecture throughout Edmonton I really dislike the Atco building.

We could bring the Northeast side of Edmonton downtown by opening up a liquor store, weed store, pizza place and a shawarma/donair place side by side.

To be fair, what family is going to move into the old CN building? There is zero infrastructure to support a family of 4 or more downtown. Hell there isn't even a McDonald's to buy a happy meal downtown....

Half baked, value engineered projects - The Edmonton design language.

I heard the land got bought by a Saudi Prince and it's actually going to be a 117S building.

I think the vast majority of people don't want yet another fee/tax. We have more then enough already.

It's wild to me how Albertas infrastructure went backwards in some regards as time progressed.

Maybe it's just me being in my mid thirties, but I never thought this building was attractive at all, to me it always looked rundown. It needs some exterior refreshing

Nothing is going to happen there.

It would be a good news story for the province.

I can buy a beautiful home in Hawai'i Kai, Oahu overlooking the ocean for that. The choices, the choices

Seeing it from this angle almost gives me the feeling that this is a modern take on the old CN tower.

Edmonton is the embodiment of (I'm an engineer not a architect) value engineering... From buildings to infrastructure.

Good for them. Phase three should be a actual venue space for shows, or something that can make the property a destination for tourists.

Anything in the podium yet?

Given the snails pace that AUC, AESO and AEPA operate at, this thing won't get built for 5 years if you are lucky.

Im happily surprised at how fast this thing filled up given the less then desirable area.
