500 solar panels cover south side of downtown Edmonton office tower
In a sea of Edmonton downtown construction, it may be difficult to draw eyes to a specific project, unless you’re Gene Dub.

The Edmonton architect showed off his latest creation, a 10-storey officer tower near 106 Street and 104 Avenue, directly across from the MacEwan campus.

The Edge is built up with an entire north wall of windows, drawing in natural light to cut back on energy consumption. But it’s the opposite side of the building that is getting the most attention.

Solar panels cover the entire south side, with a price tag of $400,000.

Dub has been told his office tower boasts the largest vertical solar wall in Canada.

The best example of the "international style" that I have seen anywhere on any continent. Noteworthy and medal worthy.

was shooting around the Edge Building last night. Not sure if I like it. Why don't we have a

ny "cutting" edge designs in the city. like Mississauga, "Monroe towers" or some of those european buildings etc etc.

Great shot @Vanveen and welcome to the forum!

I imagine we just don't attract the kind of overseas investors needed to secure higher-end architects like other cities manage to do.

Finally got some cladding up on the east face. Didn't get that close but looks like corrugated steel?

You could almost convert this into some nice condos.

@westcoastjos Under the zoning I believe they could actually be used as either office or residential (as long as they're properly outfitted).
