Despite all of that, proposals continue to move through the pipeline and many construction projects are continuing for now. We round up SkyriseEdmonton's most popular stories, project Databases, and Forum threads of March 2020.

Meanwhile, speculation abounds as to whether or not the first of two Falcon towers will debut, and - of course - watching the finishing touches get put on Encore Tower.
