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

The photo isn't the sharpest, but you can even see this one from Victoria Promenade (here, towards the left)

That podium has potential to really change the pedestrian traffic for the better in this area.

Potential yes, but it could be like the other Hats and too costly so sits empty. Shiny and useless.

Hope I am wrong.

^ What a sparkling positive attitude!

Do any of the Hats have a single commercial tenant? Love the look of the buildings, but depending on them to generate street level activity is so far wishful thinking. Like I said, hope they prove me wrong.

I find Cidex rentals to be overpriced. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case with their CRUs.

Looks like Daisy’s took down their American flag. Probably a smart decision lol

Can’t wait for towers 2&3.

Also the Varsity.

Also Beljan’s St Anthony’s project.

Also BRT down Whyte + Calgary Trail.

Whyte Ave/Old Strathcona I think is heading in a positive direction.

Only another 5 years and it will be great...

These projects will add a significant number of people very close to Whyte Ave and fill up several lots which will also improve the feel of the area too.

It will be just the boost needed for an area trying to get back on its feet after a few tough years.

Has anyone heard anything on when Varsity is starting up?

Nope still waiting on the Development permit
There are Quite a Few Projects That may have gotten Delayed by DP Processing Time being Quite Slow

What's the reason for the slow down?

September 11 2018 was post 1. So 7 years to reach this point and quite away from finishing the first tower.

 

[MattPT]

The September 2018 date seems very irrelevant. Edmonton was a very different city in 2018. A more relevant date would be July 1, 2023 when this was posted. Seems like a very reasonable pace. Under 2 years from first shovel to now.

So second quick update. Just drove by this an hour ago and there is now both an excavator and a pile of dirt by its side!
