@archited , now that it is closing in on 2 years since the above posted milestones, hopefully soon more good news!

I called and asked about it a month or two ago. They said it was still a go...
Fingers crossed!

@Kencanadian Thanks and welcome to the forum!

From the Edmontan Sun today,

"Construction will soon start on the 80-story Alldritt Tower, to overlook the river valley just 100 meters east of the Convention Centre. The mixed-use tower will include a 300-room hotel. An enclosed walkway between the hotel and the Convention Centre is a given."

“If the Alldritt Tower is going to happen, that’s your convention hotel,” says veteran city commercial realtor Terry Kilburn.

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!

Well, let's hope that writer has some insight into the development.

Because below his quote, the commercial realtor says IF the Aldritt Tower happens. I think he'd be more in the know than the newspaper reporter.

Hope I'm wrong!

I will keep watch my new office over looks the site.

@Airboy Your new office overlooks pretty much everything, doesn't it?

Ah , I left the borg, and moved to a new smaller firm a few weeks back. It was time to go. Had completed all my big projects. I did get to the top of the tower one last time though. and I did get a photo looking straight down.

@Airboy Congrats on the new gig!

 

[KyleBlanchett]

Any news on when this project would start?

 

[MichaelC]

Does anybody know if these will be condos or apartments? Or both?

 

[archited]

@MichaelC -- I contacted their person in charge of sales some while back and they are intended to be condos plus high-end hotel and hillside retail. @KyleBlanchett they are in the detailed design phase which includes engineering (no easy feat for this particular location). I wouldn't expect a visible construction start until late this year or, more likely, early next year.
