There is!?

I thought this was a different Windsor midrise project.

Edit: I see the new one now! You were too fast for me.

Anyone know whats happening on the top level of the Edmonton General hospital parkade?

Given its age, likely rehabilitation.

I've always wondered if they would be open to adding 2-3 floors of non-market housing or coop family housing on top of that with a giant rooftop patio for families to have kids safely play on.

Such a large parkade may have made sense when it was an active care hospital, but at this point it might make more sense to sell of a good portion of the land for housing development and use the remaining funds to maintain or enhance the parkade. Oh, I forgot, governments don't think that way about funding costs.

They should turn the parking spots in front of the building facing Jasper Ave into a park.

I second this

Someone maybe a year or so ago on here (forget who now) noted how bad shape this parkade + a few others are around the city and what a headache it's going to become. Good to see rehab being done but from what I've seen on any given day at this point a singular level parking lot would be ample.

It was a site the AB gov't was supposed to sell. Whole city block in the area formerly unofficially known as Grandin. Located just a little south of the parkade we're talking about above

Just a fun FYI - the former Red Cross building in the Beltline is getting a complete renewal very soon. Unsure if this will include significant envelope work on the outside, but it is a full base building renewal.

Wrong forum brotha, believe you want the Calgary Skyrise

Whoops, my apologies for that! Had a brainfart there. I deleted the post.

Does this mean anything to anyone?

The solar panel facade upgrade for Capital Tower (?) on 101 st and 106 ave is underway

I laugh every time I see that Urban China sign for a vacant lot.

Not sure if it’s been posted but I saw the Dell EMC office building on Calgary Trail is leased to Campbell College. Nice to see, think it’s been empty for awhile now.
