Finally had the chance to stop by and check it out today. I am absolutely blown away. This is easily my favorite development in the city and I think it will be hard for anything else to steal that title for a while.

I moved to Calgary over a year ago and this area & living along the Vic promenade are probably what I miss most about Edmonton. That and Donairs

Decorative or will there be a topper such as glass or wood for protection?
I really dislike the use of those if they do not 'compete' them.

Is Oliver Edmonton’s urban investment gem?
Something exciting is happening in Oliver, one of Edmonton’s oldest and densest neighbourhoods. At just under 2 square kilometers in size, this community is home to about 20,000 residents and integrates a wide range of living, working and amenity spaces. Originally known as “the West End,” and...
