Tower 101 | 175m | 50s | Regency Developments | DER + Associates

Another hurdle out of the way!

I learned today that apparently this development got a density and height bonus because it has a hotel component.

That explains a lot about my observations during the EDC formal that I posted.

Downtown Edmonton multi-res boom: 14 projects on the books

An expected boom in Edmonton’s downtown population is being credited for driving residential construction and positive prospects for commercial leasing. Colliers’ fourth-quarter 2018 office market report shows last year was the first year of positive office space absorption in Edmonton

renx.ca

"above-ground portion which could include a 12-floor hotel and a 50-storey residential tower." I am slightly confused if this is a 50 Storey tower or if this will be 50 storeys of residential above 12 storeys of hotel (62 Storeys). If this was 62 Storeys, it would be approximately 200m (maybe slightly more).

@MichaelC On the low end, it is 3.1 m or 10 feet per floor for apartment/hotel. If 62 floors as they state , then we'll be looking at approx 190 meters plus. Oh how I wish...
Add on a 111 meter meticulously sculpted Klondike Mike crown, with an observatory floor in the hat, K-day museum/souvenirs, food hall - aka; corn dogs, dollar lemonade, really big mini donuts... then we will have something. ?

@MichaelC The hotel floors are split with the lowest residential ones. The tower is 50 stories total.

50 Stories would be a good replacement for the old BMO building!

50 Stories would be a good replacement for the old BMO building!

Will be* haha sorry, I had to. I hope we see some updated renders here in the near future and that they're improved over what we've seen.

Now all they need is a building permit. Hopefully sooner than later.

Our skyline in 10 years will look amazing.

 

[Kaizen]

@KyleBlanchett , Hopefully the same difference as to when comparing our skyline of 10 years ago to our skyline of today, right. It's amazing really, how far the urban fabric has stretched... all around for the large part. More amazing to me is this transformation considering economy & politics have sucked.
The next ten year swill look amayzinglier...

@Daveography any word on design changes? I'd hope that we see some significant modifications from the original render.

@Daveography any word on design changes? I'd hope that we see some significant modifications from the original render.

There have already been multiple renders in the thread. The boxy one followed by the angled one.

I imagine refinement of the angled design.

 

[Daveography]

Not much has changed from what's been shown. Reached out to get some high-res renders but it sounds like I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to get them.

@Daveography any news on this one?
