Proposed Oliver rezoning for residential tower
May 16, 2019

Edmontonians are invited to a drop-in engagement session to learn more about a proposed rezoning at the northeast corner of 111 Street & 100 Avenue for a high-rise apartment.

Date: Thursday, May 23
Time: 6 - 8 p.m.
Location: Grace Lutheran Church (Gym), 9907 114 Street

The proposed rezoning from High Rise Apartment Zone (RA9) to Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) would allow for the development of a high-rise apartment building on a mixed use podium. To facilitate this rezoning, an application has been made to amend the Oliver Area Redevelopment Plan.

Feedback will be summarized in a report to City Council for a decision at a future public hearing.

The revised design is better, but my vote remains "meh"

 

[Avenuer]

The east and west elevations still remain too girthy for my tastes.

 

[Kaizen]

Yes !

The article says it's going to be 36 storeys? does anyone know if this is actually the case?

 

[Daveography]

@Grandinite Everything I have says 43, though of course the zoning bylaw doesn't work in stories, it works in metres, and 130m easily fits 43 stories. That said, the developer could build shorter.

 

[Daveography]

Just a quick shot on the building currently on the corner. It's OK, it's got some nice deco touches, but it's no architectural gem IMO.

 

[urbanizm]

Thoughts on if this is a purpose-built rental?

 

[Daveography]

@urbanizm Makes no difference to me. Residential is residential.

 

[CaptainGeorge]

anyone heard if this project is moving forward?

 

[IanO]

Not a priority, not.
