That be the one. Here is the journal link, @Daveography --

I am particularly keen on the last sentence in the article.

Future unclear for luxury Whitemud Drive condominium project
A retired heart transplant pioneer says he’s still trying to arrange financing for a southwest Edmonton luxury condominium development and could wind up selling the site.

Dennis Modry has been working to develop the 45-unit Privada Private Residences at the 2.8-hectare Whitemud Road home where he lives with his wife, but said Monday he has to meet with potential investors over the next few weeks to determine what happens next.

In the meantime, what’s described as his “one-of-a-kind estate” overlooking the North Saskatchewan River, complete with a 490-square-metre, two-storey home, has been listed for sale for $12.8 million.

“Our plan is still to go ahead with the project, but we thought what we would do is list the property at the same time and see what happens,” Modry said.

“In this particular environment, financing of the project is a challenge, so although we have had a tremendous number of people interested in purchasing units and we have banks lined up … for the project to go ahead, a financing equity partner is required.”

Phipps McKinnon building has torn down that weird clock tower thing and opened up the corner. Actually looks really good without it.

I'm not aware of any proposals for these lots; guessing the buildings are just too run down to maintain and not worth fixing up.

NorQuest College receives $2M gift to help renovate downtown Edmonton tower
Edmonton’s NorQuest College received a $2-million gift on Tuesday from the Edmonton Civic Employees Charitable Assistance Fund (ECECAF).

ECECAF said the donation is the largest gift in the organization’s 77-year history. The charitable assistance fund was founded in 1941 and consists of more than 11,000 members of nine unions and associations.
“This is a significant gift for us,” NorQuest president and CEO Jodi Abbott said. “This incredibly generous gift will allow us to better prepare our learners for tomorrow’s workforce needs.”

The donation will go toward the renovation of NorQuest College’s Heritage Tower downtown.

“In this new renovated space, what we will have is multiple classrooms, laboratories, as well as an innovation studio,” Abbott explained.

“The innovation studio is really needed. It’s going to allow us to work directly with industry on things like social enterprises — how do we improve the efficiency, the ability for immigrants to get involved in entrepreneurship. So it really is a mix-and-mingle innovation studio.”

Because of the donation, the tower will be renamed the Civic Employees Legacy Tower.
