So drove by this morning and there's an excavator on site.

Maybe something happening here...finally!

Do we know what it's expected to look like?

So this used to be the nicest little greenhouse and we used it all the time when we lived in Blackburne, thought they sold it to developers but it appears it's only being used as "overflow for the Lexus dealership across the deuce?

Came across this…..I think

Another 495 units here…..I think this is the “Village.”View attachment 670727

Are these 495 units going in here?

Office Tower Conversion planned on Jasper Ave

Office tower on Jasper Avenue to be partly converted into residential complex

Plans are in place to convert much of a major downtown Edmonton office building into housing, retail and recreational space.

Floors 12-19 are being changed to Residential

That's 4 office conversion projects planned or on the go now in downtown, all without direct government subsidies a la Calgary.

Rooftop patio restaurant? I like this guys vision already.

$12,5 seems like a pretty reasonable price for the asset and location. Especially consider previous ownership did a pretty nice reno to the lobby maybe 6-7 years ago.

Not even $700K per floor.

I really hope they do something with that dead food court.

Mind listing the 4?

Mind listing the 4?

So far:
Phipps-McKinnon: 100 units
McKenney Building Conversion: 33 units
Financial Building Conversion: 33 units
Standard on Jasper: no idea how many this one is but since it's floors 12-19, maybe 80-100 units?

CBRE did mention that Highfield Place got taken off the market for conversion but we have nothing concrete on that so I didn't add it to the list.

From a history perspective I know of at least two churches in Edmonton that in years past have been turned into music venues and at the time of the transition were very successful but didn't last -- one was further turned into a needs-based facility for food and shelter and the other was eventually demolished.

You're thinking of the Mustard Seed's Church on 96 St, which was the former 'Danny Hooper's back in the 80s (I think, I wasn't even born then).

There's also another church on 96 Street that is now an event venue - Studio 96.
