As a two-tower complex it will certainly stand out on the skyline. I believe Maclab et al will be impelled to do the second tower and the low-rise connector piece -- it would be a difficult sell to move into a building that is surrounded by boarded up crud and demolished whatevers. If the Warehouse Park was better thought out that might be a reason to move into the new towers as well -- the towers will definitely outshine the City efforts. The new towers will definitely provide impetus for Norquest expansion plans and the betterment of 108th Street.

I don’t think many people will critique the park before deciding to move into The Parks.

Close. It'll be the 4th. Manulife will beat it by 3m give or take.
It'll still be massive, and probably end up as prominent as JW and Stantec, since there's nothing around remotely as tall.

I think you mean Epcor Tower. Parks II will slightly edge out the Manulife Tower as well (which will be insane considering Manulife dominated the skyline for 3 decades, maybe 4 considering Epcor only beat it because of the spires).

You are correct.
Tower II will edge Manulife by less than 1/2 a metre, if the numbers we have are to be trusted.

Just shy of 150m.

I imagine it depends on which top-off design they are going for -- time will tell.

And it’s a little early to know if they will stay with what was proposed or add or subtract floors.

Sorry I know this was answered before but not sure what page to go back to, but when is tower two supposed to get going?

Not confirmed, but heavy chatter about shovels on the ground by spring 2025

 

[Greenspace]

I haven't heard anything but that would be amazing.

Interest rates and the Edmonton market are lining up to make that start date realistic.

It looks all of the buildings at Jasper and 108 are all empty.
