I know a site on 101 St and 102 Ave that would be perfect for this

When I rode by on the weekend, all the screening on the chain link fencing was gone, so we're back to looking at rebar and pieces of concrete again from street level.
Wasn't on there that long.

Gentlemen, I'm starting too suspect this project is stalled.

The only movement from that site are my bowels as time ticks on by...

The screening likely blown down by the wind on Saturday night. The fact it is still down is just the usual lack of care and attention by the owner. From earlier today.

Our own Afghanistan... I'm just so delighted. Only if we can get a few wreckage parts of fighter jets and tanks to splatter across that field.

We should expect more from owners of brownfields in Edmonton.
This is what they should do with the site while they are figure out what to build. Doing this adds vibrancy to the street which in turn adds value to the land and reduces the risk involved with development. West Edmonton Mall already does this with those kiosks.

Maybe we'll see some movement on this site once they're done with Holyrood Gardens?

What's Regency's excuse for the Emerald?
We resurrect these conversations about site conditions on this thread every few months but Regency is not interested in addressing their sites and the City doesn't seem interested in enforcing bylaws impacted by the site conditions.

Here's an idea - if only they would quit tearing down perfectly usable buildings and leaving a mess for years and years, that would help.We should expect more from owners of brownfields in Edmonton.

Its a combination of bad judgement and an I don't care attitude that reflects very badly on the company, but I suspect they don't care. Sadly, some are better at destroying things than building them.

According to Anne Stevenson there were supposed to be new bylaws introduced to penalize derelict sites such as Tower 101. I've heard nothing since her first Facebook chat a few months ago, might be time to hound her on this again.

I hope not, terrible scheme as it stands. Needs a new developer and design team with some actual vision and respect for materiality. Literally the center of Downtown and they want to put up a cheap spandrel glass condo.
The site would be great as a park akin to smithe and richards in Vancouver.

I think this area would be suited well with what they're trying to build here. The renders aren't too inspiring, but a highrise (something there's not a lot of in the core) with a hotel could work out very well in this spot. I like the park in Vancouver and I'd definitely support having one somewhere in the core but not in this spot. A new developer is a good route to go on too.I hope not, terrible scheme as it stands.

The developer could at least give us an update on the project.
