This really reminds me of the trump tower in Vancouver. I would love to see this go through but I don't know if it will.

@PomerleauDev I agree with @Daveography -- Procura does things in measured steps, so I wouldn't imagine this one going ahead for a few years.

@PomerleauDev I've heard ProCura is putting focus back on Century Park and one of their downtown properties on 109 St. Everything else is on the shelf I think.

Heard the same about the one on 109th. I believe this corner/building: https://www.google.ca/maps/@53.5390...4!1sNlyRSFlHyZV0zvV2v4ylAw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Don't know if there is a thread for it at this point as it is still hearsay conjecture.

@westcoastjos Would be good to see something happen to the 109th building. Seems like they should be having momentum with the Century Park projects.

Ditto. I'd love to see something happen on the parking lot in between AE and this building though. I don't know who owns what though or if Procura owns it all and means to develop the whole site. Perhaps that is wishful thinking.

Looks great. Very similar to the Trump Tower in Van.

Similar to TT Vancouver but not. Many twisting towers in the world. I like this idea for Edmonton

 

[Daveography]

Welcome to the forum @rtscott! I agree, it's not original, but it's a good design that would look great here.

 

[Jarodsc17]

I really hope this one goes through, but i'm not to sure on this one. What about you? @Daveography

 

[Daveography]

@Jarodsc17 Probably still a long ways out, 5-10 years at least.

 

[Jarodsc17]

@Daveography Do you think it will happen?

 

[Daveography]

@Jarodsc17 If I could predict such things I would probably be a very rich real estate mogul by now.

I will say this: Procura moves very slowly, but they do tend to move on their projects.

 

[Jarodsc17]

I really like this one though, the location is perfect in my mind!

 

[Daveography]

Rumblings on C2E that Great Gulf is partnering with Procura for a new proposal on this site. 55 stories, ~400 residential units, hotel and office components.

 

[MetroEd]

music to my ears....55 stories!

Tall tower could go up next to historic Edmonton Hotel Macdonald

The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald on the corner of Jasper Avenue and 100th Street is a historic landmark in downtown Edmonton. (CBC)

The historic Hotel Macdonald in the heart of downtown Edmonton may be getting a tall new neighbour, and local organizations hope the building won't overshadow the century-old hotel.

In a joint venture, ProCura and Great Gulf propose to build a mixed-use tower up to 55 storeys high on the privately owned lot to the north of the hotel, which is now Frank Oliver Park.

Garrett Turta, general manager of the hotel, said ideally the park would stay and nothing would go up. But he said he's realistic about future developments.

"We always thought at some point that somebody may develop something on that site. We have to just work with whatever happens."
