• 155 units
• FAR 3.5
• 300m2 commercial space
• 350m2 publicly accessible amenity space
• 400m2 private rooftop amenity space
• Ground-accessible residential units

Elevations make me think this will be a really nice-looking development. Amenity contribution should include removing that slip-lane, though.

Proposed rezoning in McKernan for a mixed-use development
March 26, 2019

Edmontonians are invited to a drop-in public engagement session to learn more about a proposed rezoning at the southeast corner of University Avenue and 114 Street NW.

Date: Tuesday, April 2
Time: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Location: McKernan Community League, 11341 78 Avenue NW

The proposed rezoning is from Small Scale Infill Development Zone (RF3) to Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2). It would allow for a high density, transit-oriented, medium rise apartment with small-scale commercial uses on the site. The proposal includes 155 units of apartment housing, commercial uses and underground parking with lane access.

The proposal is located in the University Avenue Land Use Precinct within the McKernan-Belgravia Station Area Redevelopment Plan. Feedback will be summarized in a report to City Council for a future Public Hearing.

It looks like steel with holes in it :S I'm scared. Somewhat looks like a future jailhouse with balconies. Oufff MODA has some work to do. Based on location and style I would assume this would be rental. However, if it is condo I'd find it hard for them to sell these.

 

[Daveography]

Disagree; it looks like the metal cladding is pulled away from the building itself, which is a nice effect. I think this could look really good.

Nice to see some imaginative architecture in the low-rise realm.

 

[MoDA]

Hey guys, we just discovered this forum. Nice to see that people are so passionate about design in Edmonton! I thought I'd share some more recent renderings of this project, which is scheduled for public hearing in mid-July. We're doing quite a bit of work in Edmonton now and would love your feedback!

 

[archited]

Now we're talking, Excellent work, MODA!

 

[Daveography]

@MoDA Looks great, thanks for sharing and welcome to the Edmonton forum!

My only wish - and I know it's probably not realistic or feasible - would be to see the elimination of that slip lane on the corner as part of your amenity contribution package.

Though as I'm typing that out, maybe it could at least be adjusted to a sharper angle to slow cars and provide a bit better visibility of people crossing:

That would be a massive ask and probably far outside the scope of what you would even consider, but a guy can dream.

 

[MoDA]

Hmmm. That's an interesting idea. We're working with Stantec on the planning side. I'll bring it up with them!

 

[Moderne]

Oh man, what a stunner. Well done, MoDA! I really hope this starts a trend towards good design for low rise development in our city.

Oh yes -- please let this happen. ?

We did a rough preliminary quote and feedback on the glazing and window scope for the Developer. We plan to use our Imperial Window System with the R value around 5 and a our MC Curtain Wall for the massive storefront - we need to use something a bit stronger so will be using our high end profile R-value is around 9 on it.

That's an interesting corner it's going to be built on. Busy, busy area of the city with the LRT.

I wonder if the neighbours are happy with this development?
