I am happy with the looks of this building, however this photo really highlights to me just how much more work Edmonton has to do to improve its downtown.

A sea of empty lots on what should be triple A property.

As others have mentioned, much of this parking is going to be replaced by the Warehouse Park, among other projects.

The amount of surface parking in the western part of downtown is going to reduce significantly in the next year or 2. There will still be some of course, but it will be much more filled in very soon.

The eastern part of downtown is far, far worse for this.

As well as further north, between 103 and 104 Ave—although I don't remember the tally of ongoing/announced projects there.

closely looking at the pic there are a couple of floors that seem to be higher than the rest. The lowest floor that can be seen in its entirety has a header over the triple windows to the right that shows this clearly. Count up to floors 7 and 9 and the same thing. What's that about?

I see what you're seeing....have no idea though

Has to do with storey alignments with the connector building.

For sure, I've all but given up on the eastern portion of downtown (old chinatown) and it seems like the city has as well.

The City seems to spend a lot of time coming up with grand plans that I'm not sure are connected to reality and they don't seem to be able to make them happen.

Off the top of my head.

The Quarters (Tossing a higher end neighborhood plan aside for more social decay)

Blatchford (Green projects seem to have lost their appeal lately)

Fort Road Rehabilitation (Orginally designed for density and gentrification, now more social housing and stalled projects)

Too many infrastructure projects to count.

I couldn't decide which angle I like best, so I'm posting all three.

Huge win for the City. It needs neighbours....

 

[David A]

Yes, lets take a moment to celebrate some wins. We now have four new high rise residential projects recently completed (one a conversion of old office space), all in the downtown core.
