It may look lost and scared, but don't worry! This is totally normal behaviour. Its parents aren't too far away, and will come back to feed it.

If you see a lime, let it have downtime.

I feel sorry for the person who has to try retrieve it.

The owner still says the project is moving ahead, so we will see...

The skyrise administrators still need to bump the info on this thread to reflect the increase in height to 21 storeys.

Do permits still need to be issued again or where exactly are things at administratively if nothing else?

 

[archited]

I suspect, @TAS, that permits are about to be issued -- the time frame that has elapsed would have allowed for that (foundations first) with superstructure to come in the fall.

Saw a group of what looked like construction/development types standing by the pit the other day. They didn't look like lawyers anyways, so I take that as a positive

This project started digging before the Mercury - I imagine it would have been getting close to topping out had all gone well from the beginning.

Hope it starts again very soon. Going to be one of Edmonton's best 3 block stretches from here to 124 street with interesting buildings (churches, green space, Oliver Exchange, Mercury 1+2 etc - some great architecture old and new.

I was just walking by at 5pm as the sign was being updated from 2024 to 2025.

I said to the guy, "so it's going ahead?"

He said, Apparently, but I'm just the sign guy."

Close enough confirmation for me!

 

[Clearshades]

It is better than "NO".

I really want this one to get moving. If there's lessons to be learned here it shows that even with some decent experience developing real estate, doesn't mean you can do it on your own. Having the right team matters. I'm sure Covid didn't help, but that was the case for everyone else too.

Saw a group today on the stairs of the pit. At least they're getting closer to it! lol

 

[northlands]

Anyone heard anything about this one lately? Is Pagnotta still being retained as the new construction manager?

Clark was fired in January 2022 and little work was ever done by ED, so we're closing in on two full years of empty pit with no action.

I walked by this site yesterday and thought how much of an impact this tower would have on the area. There's actually some great momentum happening in this part of Oliver; lot's of students and young professionals walking and hanging around. Some cool businesses and interesting buildings here too. I think this project, along with someone buying and developing the giant empty lot across from Cidex's 'The Hat Oliver' would really elevate Oliver in a significant way.

I must say, the new cidex, citizen and Oliver exchange renovation projects have really done some wonders in the area already.
