Little bit of a blurry shot through a window, but here's a view from EPCOR Tower (20x Zoom).

The only part of this project that disappoints me is that no replacement for Coronation Arena was included. Another loss of a centrally located, smaller arena, forcing users further out to the suburbs in the mega-rec centre developments.

I saw the cladding in the sunlight on the weekend, looks amazing. This is going to be a great addition to Edmonton architecture.

I'm gonna be moving to just a few blocks away from this, which is now getting me really hyped up to see it completed.

Totally off topic, and I haven't been following, but what happened to the multi-rink plan for Bonnie Doon? I thought that was supposed to be the replacement for all these central aging facilities.

The Coronation will become a specialized Sports Centre of Excellence. It would have been nice if it became another mega rec complex but for now this is very good. Can they add arenas next , probably but I would also like to see the track updated. Hell it was a cinder track when I ran track in High school (mid 70s). That could also enhance the Triathlon component.

I wonder if you could add twin rinks to Kinsmen to really make it a full-rec/sports centre.

Looks like recommendation 8 had a twin arena replacing Coronation which does not appear to be happening. Also recommendation 3 looked at a twin arena replacement of Oliver and Westwood which arguably was replaced by only 1 surface in the downtown community rink.

There's no rink in the current development, and none in the future plans on site that I am aware of. The only double-rink I can recall for Coronation was part of the City's 10-year arena development guide from back in 2009. This also included a new double rink at Rollie Mills, but I'd imagine this is quite outdated and doesn't reflect current plans anymore: https://www.edmonton.ca/public-files/assets/document?path=PDF/10YearArenaCDBrochureHR3.pdf
Edit: Looks like BASE just beat me to it!
