From yesterday. Tried (and failed) to capture the landscaping on the corner of 142 st and Stony Plain Rd. It does look awesome, though. I'll try to catch it tomorrow when I go for errands nearby.

@Edmcowboy11 I mean, it wasn't much landscaping to begin with, and I'm sure they'll work with the city to integrate some more once the LRT stop takes shape.

I've been delighted how this development looks. The only unfortunate thing is that the landscaping will disappear as soon as LRT construction begins.

on the other hand, i’m looking forward to them getting rid of the temporary shoulder road that screams 1960s bungalow belt once the west LRT is being constructed
 
On the Stinkweed Scale I have to give this one a 90 for aesthetics -- very sensitive design with quality materials in the International Style idiom; and a 90 for functionality -- well thought out in terms of interface with the street and patios. I suspect that it may not be leased out completely until the LRT rumbles by, but it is nonetheless well situated to take full advantage of that eventuality. This is one of Edmonton's better mixed use developments.
 
One of the best projects in Edmonton imo. I hope we hear something about building 2 next year when the LRT starts construction :)

There was a sign across from the coffee shop, stating "A" restaurant was moving in.

It's going to be 41 seats so not massive. Not sure what the name of the restaurant will be though. It's going in the CRU just north of Square 1 Coffee.

The Cutting Room (hair salon) is also moving in, for those that didn't already know.
