Encore Tower | 138m | 43s | Westrich Pacific | Dub Architects

^ Is the top going to be the same as the original renders or did they change that? Katz group needs to stare at this building for a while. That's a building done right. A wider version of this would work nicely for tower BG.

 

[Kaizen]

^ Agreed, done right!
It looks like a fair change from the original renders though, upper floor plate and finishes.
.

As is, I see a beautiful tower from all angles that should raise the bar for all developers, I hope.

Compared with the render ^, I'm actually digging the re-design top portion. Looks less busy, and more modern and sleek - especially with the dark color scheme going on.

I'd like to see many more like this but I've read that there's a movement away from all glass buildings in general because of lack of energy efficiency. Unfortunately, there'll be more of the punched window type buildings in the future. I hope I didn't misunderstand what I read. ..lol

I'm sure punched windows can be done right. Make them a little bigger, not teeny-tiny punched windows.

The Clancey did this well - has a very 'Nordic' feel to it.

Looking good!

Tower looks great... 102 ave does not look good...

@danby85 Welcome to the Forum!

Hope to see 102 Avenue finished this year.

I wonder how many queens from RuPaul's Drag Race have visited Evolution since this development began. ?
Seriously though, it's kind of a shame they have to see Edmonton like this...

@.crystalised. Quite a lot (and I've been to see many of them). The thing to remember is we're not the only city to have massive and disruptive construction projects. When you travel a lot, you barely notice them anymore.

Those CRUs are perfect spots for a bank...
