Yeah, it's a Beljan project. They own the St. Anthony's School site (this site).

Well then colour me red and schedule me a date with Ted.
(I still don't believe this. Beljan tell me this isn't true)

When it comes to dining out my tastes are very extravagant; I'll pick up the tab on dessert and wines. You seem to have a jester fan; maybe we could bring him along for comic relief between courses.

Woof. Just make the roof flat, and the project looks significantly better.

Design switched from Frankfurt to Hinton.
Forreal though, the original didn't even look like it would be that much more expensive, what am I missing? Remove the brick if you must and make it black stucco like Mercury and it still be better.

Although I like where Edmonton's downtown core skyline is going, you just can't compare Edmonton's conservative core to Calgary's beautiful and TALL downtown core! I see ultra conservative thinking in E-Town and ultra aggressive thinking in C-Town when it comes to the core of each city !

I feel the style of buildings there has more to do with the money available to spend on them and the fact that companies generally put more effort into their head offices.Although I like where Edmonton's downtown core skyline is going, you just can't compare Edmonton's conservative core to Calgary's beautiful and TALL downtown core!

At some point Edmonton became content with just being a branch plant city and with that comes branch plant offices and buildings.

Unconfirmed reports that it's being turned into a Costco Business Centre.

Could be the 7th multifamily building along the 83rd Ave bike path under construction soon.

Those are just demolition permit signs, no development permits signs up, so I’m not sure what might be going there.

See... this is the kind of house that should be protected.

Appears to be in decent shape and has some some nice arts and crafts detailing of a craftsman but without all the defining elements of a craftsman, it's a bungalow That's probably why it's not getting the love and will get the wrecking ball. The new infill zoning bylaws aren't helping its cause either and I'm wondering why you haven't yet been attacked for being a NIMBY obstructionist. You understand that there's a housing crisis don't you?
