Love it too. Ok, build it already.

Beljan bringin the HEAT

I like it except for the fact that there is nothing on the main floor that activates the street.

 

[bodsbods9090]

I'm still in love with this one.

 

[Didama]

I also love it but am concerned with the lack of street level interaction. That doesn't seem like Beljan! The rest though...wow!!

^exit vestibule, walk 12m west or 30m north and there you have it.

Beljan, oh Beljan, how I love you

Not sure how that addresses my concern with the lack of street interaction. I'm aware there is a lot of other retail in the area, which is perhaps exactly why one might expect something here as well.

Not every building has to have it's podium full of retail uses as long as most others in the area do and as long as some effort is made to make the sidewalk nice and walkable. Also, I think the design of this building at least somewhat makes up for the deficiency, don't you think?

Good design does not always require active frontages.

Can anyone confirm whether this is still part of it?

Is that an ocean view I spot in the background of the second attachment? Beljan is certainly going all out with this one!

With this development, the streetcar expansion across Gateway Boulevard (ongoing as we speak), and the Prairie Sky Gondola project arriving at their doorstep, *edit* hopefully they'll realize their time has come, sell their land and cash out

Interesting statement and I'm curious with all of your thoughts on this. We have a farmer's market close on Whyte next to that track and next to this area; what about another farmer's market on the opposite side of the track where Procura plans to build that parkade across from Mayfair? The train can be incorporate as part of the FM by traversing people back and forth to both markets; it could also house restaurant and cafe and even become mobile market while travelling .between the two sides. I think Edmonton is ready for this, and it solves dowtown"s permanent FM delina

What dilemma? We have one on 97 and it is finally working well.
