I like where this is headed.

I always felt that the parking lot felt especially out of place.

Yassss we love to see some quality mid-rise! This area is truly flowering into something beautiful.

I'm kind of not sure.what to think. The white illustration is reminiscent of an institution tbh. I wouldn't mind a cascade affect on this lot since it is such a large floor plate. Add rooftop gardens at interval step ups and on precipice elevation. 9-6-3 ratio and slightly reduced overall floor plate would be more ideal for me.

Seems a lot like 121 West. Hopefully it turns out a little nicer.

It won't be anything like 121.

This is the kind of density/form we need a ton more of in and around central Edmonton; it's very Scandinavian.

121 is a pretty standard tower i think. This is more interesting mid rise. Calgary has been building a ton of these! Great to see. Hopefully really nice finishes. Good to see a few 3bdrms. Would be nice to get more in Oliver cause I think its a great family neughbourhood, but maybe the markets not quite there yet.

Also just nice to get rid of another lot haha. And on the bike lanes!

Really like that there is an interior plaza that you can access. Really cool design.

This could really be a masterpiece if they get the exterior materials done right. Mixture of grey and beige brick is my vote.

Oliver Exchange, Open Sky, Mclaren, and now this... this little pocket on 102 Ave is turning into a wonderful pedestrian-oriented hotspot.

 

[Tropical]

I'm thrilled. I love how the 124 cluster is pushing east down 102 Ave and the bike lane.

 

[IanO]

Add in Jasper/123 and 124st north of Jasper towers and this place could be hoppin'.

Is this Edgar? I believe they own (or owned) this lot.

 

[IanO]

Indeed it is.

A hint of what's to come? This BC project is a similar scale/look by their primary architect.

Me too. Maybe they could create a bit on an El Mirador vibe here.
