I really like the design of this tower, the podium is nice in my mind.

This is going to be another great building on Edmonton's downtown skyline.

I'm at this corner 10 times a week. Been waiting years to see shovels in the ground. Any recent updates?

@Baronmine Welcome to the forum!

Last I heard construction start has been pushed into the new year, probably spring. Not confirmed though.

@Baronmine, based on information that I could glean, construction is expected to start in late spring, 2017 with completion scheduled for summer 2020. Welcome to our world!

Good to hear! Thank you for the info guys.

This is bound to be one of Edmonton's finest condominium buildings.

One of the best locations for sure. It would be cool if they connected it to the pedway system underground, but I don't see that happening. Ha.

@westcoastjos I don't think there's anything to connect to at that location...

It would have to connect to the Y, which does have a basement. It would make more sense to be above ground though. You'd have easy access to the rest in that sense. Nothing really to connect to west of Encore though, so why would you connect a residential building to the system? Haha.
