The Mercury Block | 21.7m | 6s

I'd love to stick to West Oliver, as I've been here since we moved to Edmonton, but we're looking at DT a lot, due to what you pointed out.

Can you connect me with someone who's selling at the Symphony?

I dont have personal connections sorry. A buddy of mine bought there last year though and I looked at a few 2bdrms in the 400s.

I believe their website still has sale information?

And realtor.ca shows a 1bdrm for 310 and 2bdrms for 487, 683, 709 and 1.5

I don't know of there's any renderings of this, but if not here's the DP sign. Are we sure there's no brick here? This would look very nice if there is

Amazing

With this, I wonder if the economics for a parkade in the immediate area with commerical uses just went through the roof. Things are going to be tight for the gym etc.

Wow did not expect it to start already. As upset as I am about no brick, it is still going to be a great addition to the area.

This is Edgar right? The only shitty thing about this commencement is that it most likely means the Shift project is pushed out even further.

 

[IanO]

Indeed.

I suspect that we will see A&N go before Shift.

What's A&N? Is this common knowledge?

 

[archited]

^^^^ I believe that Ian is referring to the Army & Navy re-development on Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona where Edgar has made a very substantial and well-designed proposal.

 

[occidentalcapital]

must be army and navy site.

Not opposed to A&N starting first. The more development near Whyte/Garneau and Oliver, the more people realize how big Edmonton's footprint really is.

Indeed. That is a good corner to develop too. I wish a developer would buy up the used car lot on Gateway and Whyte - that thing needs to go away.

I'm guessing that the southern half of the used car lot will be replaced by the gondola terminal and the ERRS terminal. Personally I want the used car lot gone completely because it sticks out like a sore thumb.

As per Edgar's Instagram account, this building will be called "The Mercury Block"
