My dad is visiting from Saskatchewan and is staying at the Varscona. From his room you can see this tower and he made the comment "the skyline is beautiful outside except for that huge new tower." Now keep in mind, a tower for where my dad is from is 8 stories. I then explained to him that the plan is to have 3 towers eventually and since Edmonton is growing so fast, the city is trying to densify areas within the Henday. He didn't have any further comments haha
 
The lighting in my photo of the commercial podium somewhat distorts the color (which is red, as shown in the renders).

Any details on purchasing or renting? I cant even tell if these are condos or rentals. The Cidex page does have any details
 
I was around in the early to mid 1990's here and watched a ton of rental to condo conversions then. I would not be surprised if sometime in the future again some of the good quality new rentals become condos when conditions are right, but they are not now. So for now pretty much everything new being built including this is rental.

It's funny you mention this because some older buildings that were converted to condos in the 90s, are now being converted back to rentals again. Hillside Estates on 104 st for example is currently in the process of being sold to a company that's going to convert the units back (friend of mine owns 2 units + one of the CRUs). Ravine Mansion (11616 100 ave) was originally a rental building, and was recently sold back to the original owner who is going to convert it back to rentals (another friend of mine owned a unit here). The Albany (now Axis Tower) on 116 st was condos and was sold to Leston Holdings last year, though I'm not sure if that one was ever a rental building
