Jasper House | 108m | ?s

[Barnaby]

The views from this building will be incredible if it's built. It looks like it is planned to have elevators closest to Jasper Ave to maximize the river valley view. This essentially turns the building's back to Jasper Avenue. While this is potentially great for living, I think it's important to have some CRU engagement along the avenue.

This is one of those lots that has no downside to approval. The tax revenue will be huge, and it's killing surface parking while also increasing the core's housing stock. Much better than the applications that often request to tear down a perfectly functional building.

This building has actually gone for re-approval numerous times.

This is one of those the city is trying to hard buildings. The developer is pretty frustrated with the city due to this building. They had initially wanted to have shovels in the ground for over 2 years now

From the article:

The tower would house 224 residential units — one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms plus den, two-bedrooms, and three-bedrooms — atop commercial space on the ground floor. Four retail units would front Jasper Avenue, while a restaurant would sit along the southwest corner of the building, facing the Victoria Golf Course.


I love the corner restaurant idea, would easily be one of the best patios in the city!

Most of the comments on Engaged are in support as well, with the odd person whining about parking as usual. Hope to see this one go ahead!

Nice to see members of the SRC Community posting on the Engaged Edmonton page.

When I left my comment over the weekend the few posts already there were all opposed.

The Pearl "investor" is deranged. The entitlement one has to have to buy in a massive tower that's a first for the area before complaining about a similarly sized neighbouring tower is crazy to me.

Unless there is some restriction keeping a lot nearby from being developed, you should always have in the back of your mind when you buy that your view may not remain the same forever if a site nearby could be developed.

ok but why does it look like 15 different buildings at once?

I also dislike this render. Tell me this is really early and not indicative of final product?

It looks like somebody bought a box of miscellaneous Lego bricks and went to town. I think it would improve by sticking to one or two lanes.

Dare I say it? I’m probably the only person who likes it.

For the south face, the concept they are going for is river flow.

 

[Barnaby]

I want more boldness in this city. You can't help but look at something like TELUS Sky in Calgary and get a little jealous.

 

[Clearshades]

Not at all, @Glenco -- I absolutely love this project! Like the Symphony this one has character and stands out among a sea of boxy boxes.

Are you blind? The illustration clearly shows an erected rectangle shape- AKA THE BOX YOU SPEAK OFF.

 

[archited]

I am not blind -- are you an idiot? (don't answer -- that's a rhetorical question).

What is, if there is one, the concept for the North face?
