To put it into perspective, Switch phase 2 will be a 37 second storey tower with 441 units…I think. So 582 units will be….what? 50+ storeys?

I remember reading (I think a statement from the architect) that soil conditions and the foundation structure now set in place only allows for 42 storeys (maybe it was 47?). An interesting possibility would be if Katz Group or a new buyer would combine this with the Katz land on 104th Street for a twin tower configuration and a bridge between them that would hold some exciting amenities possibilities. The twin configuration could be colloquially called "Fat&Skinny" referencing a tall skinny tower on 104th that might reach 60 storeys combined with a stubbier expression on the existing podium. The 104th tower could forgo parking in favor of what is already provided putting the savings into a more extensive footing structure for "skinny".
 
Crazy to me that we just signed a deal with OEG for the event park and north land with no guarantees of development other than two stick frame buildings. Meanwhile, they are selling this to help cover the costs of those buildings. I wonder what the future will hold for the rest of the land north of the arena. I can't help think that they do the horizontal development for the rest of the land and sell at least some of it to other developers.

Two words.

Gravel.

Parking.
 
I'm not doubting that he will live up to his commitments, though he does keep moving the goal posts on his vision for Ice District. (And it certainly becomes a lot easier for him to honour them when public money is involved.)

That doesn't change why he continues to act like a man with a Virginia ham under one arm, crying the blues because he has no bread. If he can afford to purchase a residential home in California for $150M, he should also be able to afford to purchase his playground in Edmonton.
 
I really don't care about incentives for developers to build things in the city. Realistically that's the only thing that is going to restart Edmonton's downtown. Well that and hopefully the new city council does literally anything to clean up the streets.

I guess this is signage only on the Stantec Tower as CIBC online shows this address: "Relocation alert: This Banking Centre will be relocating to 10348-103 St. NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0Y9 on January 15th, 2026 at 1:00pm. Services will be available at the new address on January 19th, 2026 at 9:30am.". Next door to the Oilers shop I am guessing.
