I can't speak directly to many buildings but the annex building, while having some architectural significance (first curtainwall building in Canada to my knowledge), it was well beyond the point of restoration and was unfit/unsafe for use. It is definitely unfortunate but not all structures of...

That building (whether due to neglect, poor maintenance, poor original construction etc) had a litany of issues from hazardous building materials to water infiltration and everything in between. Unfortunately the annex building was well beyond saving and I'm not sure how widely it will be missed..

Just to clear up a few things - the penthouse does not have a private elevator. Yes Katz was originally going to build it out for family use (not specifically for his son). They did not keep the floor due to multiple reasons (including the fact they have a home in town).

The fan park will be open for the games!

Residential requires a card as well. There is also already a double door to access the elevator lobby. This might be replacing the double doors on either main floor or level two?

You need a card to go up the elevators already, although I wouldn't be surprised. My guess would be that it is a full height wall (glass or otherwise) at the elevator lobbies to aid with stack effect issues.

*was mistaken, removing doors. It's been a day.

Rise Republic has now been updating their Instagram and providing pricing. Google has been updated to note opening on November 15th! I won't be holding my breath but some more activity in the area will be appreciated.

Just received an email & brochure from the sales team. Pricing is pretty wild for these units at about $1450+/sf.

Unfortunately the decision was made years prior to COVID. It seemed to be strictly a cost and permitting issue.

Slowly coming together! Just unfortunate that they had previously booked events starting at their original opening date of Aug. 2022.

I'm assuming they mean 80% of the rental units have been leased. Originally it was a block of floors for lease and not for sale (i.e. 31-45 leased, 46-66 sale), although that may have changed.

Definitely a clever repurposing of the old ELTON sign from 2019!

The rink has been fairly busy every night since opening, it's fantastic to see!

Had some photos sent around of the crowd at PBR. Extremely low attendance it seems.

1hr free underground parking with a $20 purchase I believe.

Low 8 figures.

Cost. Definitely disappointing though.

I'd say that's a pretty broad statement saying pedestrians have no safe way to pass, the south side of the street has both the sidewalk and bike lane open as usual. As someone who lives nearby and walks through the area often, while slightly inconvenient, I wouldn't say this has much of an...

Cost of construction in Edmonton is quite surprising, with our winters the amount of heating and hoarding required increases costs significantly. Even items such as heated concrete add up, on top of higher base material and labor costs like you mentioned.
