Stumbled upon this on 106 St & 102 ave. Facade updates for this building next door to the upcoming Central Warehouse District Park

@Grandinite That's the one that was labelled "Edgar Office" in the DP, mentioned earlier in this thread.
Aren't these buildings directly in the path of the Valley Line West LRT? I remember there were a set of businesses somewhere along here bought out because the line veers to the north of Stony Plain Road at this intersection.I hope there's a plan to replace these two buildings and not leave this corner as an empty lot?

First of all, those decrepit ass, rotten ass, turned pee-coloured stucco ass townhomes are a historical resource??
@ronron I have often thought that the western portion of Alberta Avenue from NAIT to Northlands would be an ideal "Main Street" to exercise just such a district concept. I had dabbled with the idea before and I now think that I will put just such a theme street concept together. There are lots of existing buildings that already have the requisite architectural texture (take note @Kaizen) and there are many more that could be modified in a storefront program to fit the mode. I invite all SkyriseCities afficionados to participate in what could be a fun and engaging exercise. I would remove autos from the street turning it primarily into a pedestrian outdoor mall, ultimately get the City engaged in rezoning the blocks immediately north and south of 118 to allow for a specialized area zone honoring the historic "Prairie Style". There are lots of empty infill lots along the way. I would make 119th Avenue one way heading west (two auto traffic lanes plus a bicycle lane plus a "parkway" walking/jogging lane, separated safely one from the other) and 117th Avenue one way heading east, thereby framing in the new district. I would create pedestrian/transit overpasses at 97th Street and 82nd Street; and in that mode create a surface two-way LSM-propelled transit corridor as part of the 118 avenue experience.I wish we had a commercial district with the above theme, like Fort Edmonton Park.
