I cannot read the labels from this distance (photo feature fantasmagorism) but the logo says to me "densglass" -- hence the milk-white panels that are becoming so prevalent in recent Edmonton architecture. I think we should take some advice from the Rolling Stones...

 

[Kaizen]

Its Densglass. Is there an assortment of materially that can be applied over it, such as brick?

 

[archited]

Nope -- but yes -- it is a finish unto itself so likely won't see any superseding applique atop the finished panel.

The cladding material will really make or break my final thoughts on this one.

Southpark is revving up for summer...

10565 is on the east side of 106 street and the current development is on the west side, no?

 

[Kaizen]

^ It comes up as on the East side on G maps I believe.

 

[Daveography]

@MCXavierL It does, but I think that address represents all four development areas. Plus the unit count matches with the building currently U/C. Still not 100% sure about any of that, but will keep an eye on it.

 

[Kaizen]

Some brick up on the west face

 

[archited]

'brick" is good...

Noticed that the east lot on whyte ave has been cleared of vehicles now, maybe getting ready to break ground?
