Saw the Clark sign on there last week, but figured it was for some interior work happening next door since I couldn't find any permits on this one. Turns out...
Vacant Jasper Avenue building could become The Wedge
About two weeks ago, a sign for Clark Builders went up outside the space Edmonton realtor Oliver O'Connor purchased in 1997 for $170,000.
Now O'Connor plans to build a 10-storey, 34-unit residential building with the main floor and basement reserved for restaurants or other commercial development.
Clark Builders has been hired as construction manager and local architectural design firm Holo-Blok will design the project.
O'Connor said it will be the first building of its kind in the city.
"We're bringing in something that would be in Vancouver or New York … or Paris," he said, "a smaller building that's being developed into something larger."
