Milner Building Residential Conversion | 53m | 12s | Westcorp | Kasian

[David A]

Its probably not the easiest project older buildings often are not, but it has a good layout and great location. So maybe that is what is needed, a company that has the motivation and ability to do a good job.

'It’s happening in Edmonton already, too — Westcorp is planning to turn a 12-storey office building near 104th Street and Jasper Avenue into a residential building.'

CBRE says converting empty Edmonton offices to residential space can ease housing issues, increase the city’s tax base and even make the downtown core feel safer and more vibrant.

The above article says that "CBRE has targeted six additional buildings that it believes could be turned into residential space" - beyond the Milner and the Enbridge conversion occurring down the street. Any intel on what those six are?

My guesses

1. Milner
2. Phipps McK
3. 100ave/106st NWC tower
4. Sterling Place
5. Petwin Tower
6. 10005-106st

PMK would be a neat spot and building for a residential conversion.

This suggest that there are six buildings other than Milner and Enbridge -- Milner therefore does not qualify to be on your lists.

I noticed the Budget Car location just north of #3 has recently closed. I wonder if that creates any opportunities to redevelop it. I feel if this were to be converted to residential something would have to be done on the north side.

Are you sure it's closed? I drove by it recently and their driveway was full of cars and people were inside the building

I walked by a day or two ago and read a printed sign on the window that said this location is closed, which presumably means what it says and there were no cars around any more. I assume it means permanently. There was also a for lease sign on the building recently which lead me to think this too.

Anyone hearing anything on this one or are they focussed on their BC project?
