Are there any "Fake Buildings" In Edmonton?

[NathanielBorody]

In the video below, "Fake Buildings" are buildings that on the outside look like normal buildings such as a house or apartment block, etc. However, on the inside, they are used to hide an electrical substation, tunnel ventilation or water pump, etc. Now my question is, does anyone know if there are any "Fake Buildings" in Edmonton?

WEM - conceals as much as it reveals.

Some of the new substations abutting the new LRT corridors are fake buildings.

Look up Telephone Exchange buildings in Edmonton. Many have been repurposed, including two by Beljan if I remember right.

It's not styled like an apartment building or house, but this a 'fake building'. There used to be a substation, and after they built the Heritage Valley park and ride, they covered it up.

Does this count?

This one next to McK/Bel station is pretty disguised, I couldn’t find it on satellite view for a moment cause it just looks like a regular house with a big parking pad from above.

Telus Toll building downtown. I’d guess majority of Edmontonians assume it’s just another basic office tower.

There are a lot of Lift Stations in Neighbourhoods that look like they should be homes. Did one on Keswick and another in Hawkridge.

And there is one in St Aabert, the riverside neighborhood. actually, looks like a 2-store home. It was out there long before the homes were built. When I was on site we had someone drive up and ask how muck. I believe it's on Redwing Wynd. The street does not exist on Google maps yet.
