Jasper and 115 Street | 170m | 52s | Greenlong | ACAI

That particular zone has gone unchanged since 1980 or longer, so it is ripen to developments.

I can't find any web presence on the developer listed. Or for that matter even a website for the architect.

 

[Daveography]

@EdmTrekker Yeah, neither have a web presence. Imagine that in this day and age.

This, Edmonton Motors, and (maybe) Emerald will create, as the urban planning experts call, a "Chunky Node" in West Jasper

Wait, are we talking about development, drugs or guitar riffs?

I had to bump my vote up two notches to the top rung -- this (r)evolution is far superior to the first hint. I love the commercial use of the alley; I love the playfulness of the balcony arrangement; this is far superior to the Edmonton Motors effort.

 

[Daveography]

@archited I bumped my vote up one notch to Like. I need to see more before I can consider another notch, but it's promising.

 

[archited]

@Daveography it is good to be cautious with this one -- I just figured if the design dribbles backwards I will just reduce my vote at a later time -- 6 to one; 1/2 dozen to the other.

Yah with the quality of those renders, I'm going to hold off on getting too excited about this project. 100% those jaggedy balconies will be revised. Also personally like the podium and street presence of the Edmonton Motors development more.

 

[Clearshades]

Having been through one of the most difficult era of our city where I saw no developments from 1988 until around 2002. I have witnessed the processed of recession vs boom session and how changes have come about. Until you see a tower crane take place of renders and placeholders, it is always best to not get excited...
If it does actually happen, I consider it a bonus.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Well even in boom we saw tons of beautiful renders but only a percentage of construction.

 

[northlands]

^ Agreed. Boom years or not, somedays I just think about how many moving pieces and people are involved in any development and it reminds me that it''s an incredible feat of cooperation among all involved to get anything off the ground.

 

[Clearshades]

Boom can yields plenty. We just didn't staged, executed, or maximized our boom curve. The oilsands, provincial government and civic governments were not in synching with the game and it cost us many lost opportunities. Developers played reactionary to the boom instead of visionary imo.

Looks like you found it on your own (amazing!). Was it excitement that caused you to post the same image twice?
