101 St. north of EPCOR Tower... I have no idea what this is and that is bothering me.

Rezoning application on a 101 Street gravel parking lot - that's gotta make city planners happy. #yegcc #yeginfill pic.twitter.com/BCEjbcMGZz
 
@Daveography, I think I can decipher the sign. Rather than demolish the casino building at the outset, I believe that Katz Group is going to turn it into a sales office for condos for the short term (this will help them get around the parking issue also -- very sly!) and the other sign-listed uses under DC suggest that the building that will replace the casino and the parking will be another mixed use tower -- hotel plus apartment hotel plus retail podium. Maybe they have abandoned the office function (rumoured).
 
Oops, sorry -- wrong site! Do we know who owns this site? Isn't this the BCM site? Edmontonian tower?
 
Is there public access to Assessor's maps for Edmonton? -- oddly I have never tried. That would be a good spot to check out who owns what, if there is public accessibility.

Edmonton's first shipping-container apartment building under construction
The developer behind Edmonton's first apartment block made entirely of shipping containers is looking to build more.

Westgate Manor, at 95th Avenue and 163th Street, looks like any walkup and inside, the suites are complete with bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, all finished in drywall.

But the 20-unit apartment building is put together with 48 steel shipping containers.

The containers were modified in Calgary and prefabricated into apartments. They are then shipped to Edmonton and stacked together. The building's three storeys are expected to take a little more than a day to erect.

"Just like Lego and that sort of thing," said Larry Slywka, director of construction with Ladacor Advanced Modular Systems. "You rebuild everything and minimize the amount of work you do on site which is so intriguing.

Just had a nice chat with some folks at Aspen while planning some work I'll be doing for them. Expect lots of public realm improvements around Bell Tower starting this year, and over the next 1-2. They're also working on a restaurant tenant for the corner of 101 St. & 103 Ave (Oilers Way).

Someone else mentioned one of the restaurant spaces in Enbridge Centre may have been leased? Will have to confirm.

Proposed rezoning in Laurier Heights
May 25, 2017

Citizens are invited to an open house about a proposed rezoning of 8403 and 8311 - 142 Street NW.
Date:Thursday June 1, 2017
Time: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Location: Laurier Heights Baptist Church, Lower Hall, 8505 - 142 Street NW
(Drop-in, no scheduled presentation)

The rezoning would change how the property can be used, revising the existing (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision to facilitate the renovation and expansion of the current seniors’ care facility.

The proposed (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision retains most of the existing provisions and includes new regulations.This will accommodate proposed renovations to the current development and the construction of an addition. The application proposes approximately 60 more units and increases on-site parking. It also allows for an addition on a west portion of the site, to a maximum height of 23 metres.

The meeting will be an opportunity to learn more about the proposal and provide your feedback to the City and applicant. Feedback will be summarized in a report to City Council before they make their decision on the rezoning.

Posting this here because I'm still not sure what specific development it belongs to; hearing that the top-half of Stantec is going condos (as opposed to rentals as originally planned), and that Tower "B" will be rentals instead. If that's true, then top-of-Stantec is probably this "Sky":
