Geotech crews working on the 122st site today. As well the Geo crew is on its second week at the Emerald site.

Which is 122? CNIB?

New building that went up by Stadium Station. For some reason the balconies/finishes kind of remind me of something you'd find in Florida.

And a new public plaza or "town square" at The Currents of Windermere. I gotta say, this whole development kind of overpromised and underdelivered. But I'm not all that surprised given its location.

A new development going up in the Emerald Hills area of Sherwood Park. Pretty sure it's the tallest structure in Sherwood Park now, so thought it was significant enough to post.

God where do I begin with how awful that concept is? The faux-euro facade on a stripmall? The car-orientedness of it in a central neighbourhood? The lack of any residential component to bring more people to the area?

I appreciate the guy's passion, but this is just...no...

Gross. Will most likely end up the commercial version of the Venetian... But at least that doesn't have a massive parking lot in front of it.

crane is being assembled to remove the Westmount Village crane.

@Airboy Will they then need a crane to remove that crane, and if so, which crane will assemble the crane needed to disassemble the other crane, and...

I think it will be like the nesting dolls. They keep getting smaller. Welcome home

Great, just when commentaries about the arena deal and CRL finally seemed to be dying down...

OEG approaches City of Edmonton on partnership for Ice District plaza
The Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) has approached the City of Edmonton, looking to strike a deal on the about-to-be-created plaza south of Rogers Place that will be nestled in amongst all of the new high-rise towers in Ice District.

City council was briefed on the proposal behind closed doors on Wedneday, during the private portion of this week’s council meeting.

Councillor Scott McKeen said he can’t say much about the agenda item — titled “Public Plaza Enhancement Opportunity – Ice District” — other than to confirm that talks are underway about what would be a gathering place.

“It’s a negotiation right now. I think that plaza was always built to be that anyways, as a gathering place. What the potential would be for various things and access to that is what we’re going to be, I guess, negotiating,” he said.
