Tower B Renderings

I like that the residential entrance is off the alley. I'm all about activating our alleys. Good find, thanks @archited!

I really hope those curved balconies are frosted or fritted glass. That would look fantastic.

OMG WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU RHUBARB GIRL

 

[archited]

I heard that her new hangout was near the Enbridge Centre -- she apparently has her eye on someone who works in that area -- a photographer, rumour has it.

I am with you on the alleys comment, @Daveography -- I had a 9th grade art teacher (CFB Cold Lake) who told me that if you really want to see the make-up of a place check out the alleys. Street Fronts are too manicured and uniform; alleys are full of recessed pockets, irregular shapes and the hum of life. I am really excited to see Old Strathcona bring alleys to the forefront with several of the new developments; it would be great if downtown did the same.

Beljan Developments is really big on this, and their guy Chris Dulaba also worked with Rise to incorporate active laneway uses in their Massey Ferguson development (which has slowed but is still in the pipeline). Hope to see the trend continue.

LOL wow had to look hard for the rhubarb girl, but she is still there! I swear, this must also be an inside joke with the people making these renders at this point.

 

[archited]

Damn! You are right @crisp! LOL

Oh man getting close to grade!!

 

[archited]

At-grade forms going in place at northeast corner of tower B site. Celebration time!

 

[RoyGBiv]

It looks like the push is on to complete enough of the plaza to close the pedestrian access to Rogers through the Stantec podium.

 

[Edward Skira]

Coming along nicely.
