Some killer views out of this one, would probably pull the trigger if units weren't starting at $1600 a month (probably before fees too ?)
North East being my favorite, would be fun to watch the development over the years from there.

I actually didn't know I could take the 102 ave bike lane all the way to 124th from downtown. I'll remember for next summer on my ? adventures. The NE and E views could be on post cards ?

Amazing views, all around but I'd take Southeast, so good it was posted twice, ha ha. Is it just me , or could Edgar have posted better view photos, these are good but seem washed out/exposed?
I think I would take these three views before looking at downtown.

Historic facade from Buena Vista returns to new apartment on Edmonton’s 124 Street - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca
The developer took multiple steps to incorporate as much of the facade of the old building that sat on 124 Street near 102 Avenue in the new one.

From Friday. One of the storefronts along 102 Avenue is now occupied by a Flannel Foxes pop-up shop

For comparison purposes. This was in the mid-1990s.

Went for a morning walk through my new neighborhood, snapped a few pics of The MacLaren and some of my other fav buildings on 124 street

4th pic from the top -- worked on this project with architect Wayne Scott (perfect name for an architect, don't you think?) back in the '70s -- at that time we designed it as a ladies' clothing store retail outlet (client's name escapes me for the moment). I am happy to see that it is still in the Edmonton mix. We had a few buildings underscoring this design idiom sprinkled throughout the Oliver district (stained Cedar siding, shed-roof forms, skylights and interior well planting). Excellent photos by the way, @Grandinite!

Did you guys design Oliver House on 118 St off of Jasper? It houses a Dental office right now but my mom worked for LGS for 12 years and I believe they were the original tenants. It was designed back in the late 70s if I'm correct and has a similar design aesthetic to what you're describing.

Yes we did @StopDropandLOL -- that project was an extension/addition to a (completely gutted) house -- originally it was intended to be an office for Wayne Scott Architects. The beauty of this project (if we are talking about the same place) was the incredible clinker brick exterior walls (which we preserved at my insistence). I don't think that Wayne ever actually occupied the space -- maybe sold to a building contractor/engineer, if memory serves. Many of the projects that we did in Oliver were remakes of existing houses.

This was the building in question. I remember running through here as a child and loving it. It was like a really fancy house that was converted into office space, and I remember how warm the materials were inside and it really gave me a sense of comfort. My Dad and I would come on a Saturday when it was empty and he would do repair work and I would play. It really was a catalyst for my love of Architecture.
