I wasn’t aware of this Regency project. You’d think they’d want to develop some of their empty lots before demolishing more buildings, but it seems not.

We knew of their Sona Park - didn't have a name though....but this, smashing more derelict townhomes seems to be their MO - but like you said - fill in Holyrood before embarking on more pie-in-the-sky dreams......sheesshhhhhhView attachment 662694

The Alberta Tenancy Act is in need of keeping up with its competition. While it is a considerable cost to developers, the Ont and BC Acts are far more fair and substantial in nature, with considerable consideration for displacement of these types of units.

I actually house-sat for the owners, a University of Alberta Professor and his wife, who had a 6-month sabbatical that put him at a university in Texas back in the '80s -- memory reload. It was at the same time that I owned and operated the Roman Pub in South Edmonton. The house itself was deceptively large and had a beautiful library inside -- tremendous River Valley views!

Dunno if anyone cares but I updated Edmonton's Wikipedia page for its tallest buildings last week! I found it lacking and missing a few new buildings so I updated it and also wrote a history section–and added a map. Lemme know if the history is wrong or missing anything. Check it out 
(I also did the same for Calgary lol)

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but I’m sure it will be of interest to some people on SRC.
Interesting to see how the Edmonton video will come out!

^ It was to be a presentation to EDC (likely happened yesterday -- behind closed doors) by Ryan Cuddeford and the concept for the downtown Massey Ferguson site by Faction Projects Inc. For those with heart conditions you might be thankful that the presentation was not meant to be public.

Not sure if anyone has posted this already, but the old funeral home at 108 St and 102 Ave seems to now be owned by Maclab and they may be doing student housing.

The same folks that brought us Eleanor and Laurent towers adjacent to U of A campus. They are also partners in the Parks towers (Tower 1 recently completed). This could be another architectural gem.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there would be remediation work done at that site due to the fact it's a funeral home, right?

^ Potentially due to the use of embalming fluid that contained formaldehyde (rigorous testing would determine if that is the case) -- also the building is of an age where there would almost certainly be asbestos remediation required.

If there was significant formaldehyde discharge over the years, potentially. Environmental Site Assessment will determine what level of remediation is required though. Could be on the easier side, could also be soil contamination.
