Wow what a rollercoaster of a proposed development. The one blocky dull render had me worried. The latest Dave posted look quiet good!

A conversation on Facebook got me thinking, the parking lot across the street next to the World Trade Centre building would be a great candidate for replacing this greenspace. The LRT easement underneath already limits the development potential of the land, which means it should in theory be cheaper for the city to acquire:

Cool pics. Makes me want to go out and snap some pics of existing buildings and stuff, just in case they ever disappear.

What year was this, the 1980s when the hotel was empty and being extensively rehabilitated?

Anyone know if the units are for sale or will it only be rentals units? As far as I know Procura only do rental buildings and they have horrible management team. e.g. Mayfair on Jasper.

I don't think this is a Procura property?

This is the project I'm most excited to watch develop in the near future. If built to plan, 9955 Jasper will be the tallest residential tower west of Mississauga. It'll be a huge gap-filler in the center of our skyline.

Agreed. I'm most excited for this project because it will have such a huge impact on the skyline due to it's location and height, and it's not just simply prominent but it's prominent in a good way because of the design. This will really improve the view of the city from the south.

I love the design of this tower. My biggest concern with these 50+ story tower proposals is that, if built, they would suck up all the demand for residential units in a few concentrated towers, when we have so much surface parking still to develop. My uneducated opinion is that we should be aiming for 40 stories tops for new towers in Edmonton.
