Hat @ Old Strathcona | 66.14m | 20s | Cidex Group

[Adm]

Just a bit of info from the City of Edmonton rezoning applications page. Hoping this kicks off sooner than later!

 

[IanO]

I find it odd that this project would only be 495 dwellings; one would think that given the site and walkability that you could do 750-1000 there.

Only explanation for that, to me, is unit size (including higher number of 3+ bedrooms) and lack of height to have as many units.
It might also be due to phasing, maybe?

Happy that Cidex still intends to build this, but does this rezoning mean that its likely they will push the construction commencement date?

So...this is good news?

weird depth... is this only 1 level u/g parkade?
I think that's totally fair, given the size of the site, and unit count, and not wanting to overbuild (and thus overspend and have to overcharge in rent) for parking, but i'm still a bit surprised. idk.
thanks for sharing!

I was thinking the same thing. I guess if and when one takes into account the total underground spaces for the entire site…..then it might be plausible?

 

[BASE]

I think the is just a preliminary depth while they do those piles. Would excavated further in next phase.

 

[archited]

Exactly... there would be no need for soldier piles if 2.4m was the extent of the total depth. This seems to be just a solution to a particular excavation problem associated with Public Domain encroachment. It does mean, however, that the project is commencing.

 

[dunno]

So does that mean that this thing is... actually starting?

 

[Munanyo]

I'd assume this does mean this project is officially starting. Wondering when excavation begins though?

I dunno @dunno
but hopefully soon @Munanyo like mañana

 

[_urbanite]

The Hat @ 122 is getting closer to completion, so it looks like they're starting to gradually redeploy resources over to this site now

Just drove by here this morning and the northern half of the parking lot is fenced off! I guess it's go time?
