The Augustana | 96m | 30s | Pangman | DIALOG

[David A]

This is a genuinely pretty decent building despite the colour being slightly "bland". It really does have a strong effect on the Govt district and it'd be really cool to see more of these pop up in the surrounding area, especially since it's not too far away from Grandin and Westrich's "It's Our Skyrise Corner" district there.

This is Edmonton - you can have any colour you want as long as it is white/grey/beige for residential high rises and bluish/grey for office towers. It is a decent building and I agree we do need to broaden our colour choices somewhat.

NEW PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT
240 Unit Augustana Tower Officially Launches in Downtown Edmonton
Intelligence House is pleased to announce the launch of the highly touted Augustana Tower by Pangman Development Corporation in downtown Edmonton. The Augustana is a mixed-use rental development comprised of a trendy retail base and a chic, modern apartment tower located right next to the Grandin area in downtown Edmonton. It is impeccably located to provide a lively downtown experience, while being secluded enough to enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the iconic River Valley.

The Augustana executes an urban design style embellished with exquisite stone countertops and sleek exposed concrete elements that are sure to impress everyone who enters the space.

Select suites boast highly sought-after River Valley and downtown skyline views, providing the perfect backdrop scenery.

We look forward to bringing you updates on this project as it progresses.

With rental costs this high and mortgage rates at historical lows in a relatively affordable (for Canadian standards) housing market, it's hard to justify renting at these prices if you have the means to purchase a place instead. I do get the convenience of not having to worry about maintenance, home insurance, utilities, etc., but these prices just seem ridiculous for our market.

I'm sure they've done their research on the market, but those rental rates seem pretty unattractive for the square footage

Top of market for sure, but top tier as well.

What is with the death traps that is built like benches?

^ They kinda remind me of Czech Hedgehogs. Eh, if worse comes to worst and Alberta actually tries to secede from Canada, at the very least they'll make some good anti-tank defences...

Dangerous weapons in more ways than one..

awesome for skateboarding

Here's hoping that a full-scale restaurant/bar will sign up. I'd love to see something like Red Ox or XIX go in there.

 

[Clearshades]

Can't wait to see a drunken wanderer or an icy slipper smash his/her skull right through that...
These are hazards for seasoned industrial workers let alone catwalkers with stilletos to the office.

 

[Daveography]

Man our collective morale must be low these days if all we can imagine when we see a new set of benches is disasters.
