@Hqcan I didn't end up attending the meeting

Finalized rendering:

It looks like the height of the taller tower has been amended to 152.75 metres and the lower tower 127.35 metres.

Funny the little tricks developers pull in their renders. Stantec is still under construction and there's no Encore. Even ScotiaBank is still gold..lol
Edit. ICE District is not even there. Ha..I love it..
West view of the city is going to just be killer.

my guess is they want to get the condo sales in first to gauge the market and maybe change parts of phase 2 to condos if it's viable.

That's smart, and it would be a wise business move if the market improves at some point during construction. Thanks - hadn't thought of it that way.

I promise you, @.crystalised. the whole oompahloompah shebang will get built. What I can't promise is the "when". Interesting that they are leading with condos -- I would buy one of these -- Jasper and 109 has turned into an interesting intersection with great potential if 109 realizes its true potential (if it doesn't get left behind -- a la Beatles' "Baby said she's leaving on the one after 909" -- oops that's 909, not 109). These particular architects are expensive -- suggests to me that they are serious about going all the way.

Thanks Ted - appreciate the optimism - I need it

IIRC there's a very small number of companies that maintain 3D models of downtown Edmonton, and they probably charge a lot for updates. If you already have one that's reasonably up-to-date for the area you need, there's not much point spending the money to upgrade.

Heh, 3D modellers probably don't make near as much money from projects located in boom 'n' bust cities like ours then.

If these are condos I will strongly consider purchasing a park view unit. I'm curious what the prices will be.

Me too, @Stevey_G, me too.

It is now only a matter of time before the demolition permit is submitted to demolish the El Mirador...

The Parks project has reversed phasing. The south tower on Jasper and the podium along 108th were to go first, but it now appears that the first phase will be the north tower followed by the south tower and the podium. I am hearing possible early 2021 start??

Condos first? Seems aggressive, unless they transitioned the whole thing to rentals.

They may just be testing the residual condo market -- I suspect that it may have improved over the last several months.

Possible they're switching the north tower to rentals and south tower condos
