Pretty sure this is just for the Mural festival that is on now......I'm sure a few buckets of paint are not going to have any impact on Phase 2.

I 'think' there are timelines that require all phases of projects that received the 2021 Construction Grant to commence construction by a certain date, so I do not expect Phase 2 to be delayed too long.
What is really crazy is that the second tower will be taller than the first, which is already super prominent.

Others have said it and I agree - I think this project is going to lease up well.

Murals on abandoned buildings is where we are at in Edmonton hey? My oh my the bar is so low in this city you could walk over it.
Between City Center on 102 ave, the Arlington lot, and Oil City, I guess you can leave your property as abandoned, useless, and derelict as long as you want but lets improve it by slapping a mural on it.

Why are you so mad about this? The property is slated for demolition for a second tower anyway, but even if that takes a year or more to manifest, I’d rather walk past a nice mural than a building that clearly looks abandoned and has homeless people living in the nooks and crannies.

I'm wondering the same thing, mural > no mural imo. Appearances do matter, obviously taking care of the building properly, either by demolition and replacement or renovation is preferable. But once again: Mural > no Mural

The bar is so low in Edmonton that we applaud murals Exhibit A:
Not sure how you came to the conclusion behind your computer screen that I am mad, I am not mad, I am simply pointing out exactly what your comment reinforced - that the bar in Edmonton is so low that a building which has sat derelict for a decade getting a mural is better than not having a mural.
Imagine all the other possibilities of activating that building, the Arlington lot, City Center, etc....or don't, just slap a mural on it and wait for something to happen.

I walk by this building 2-3 times a week, so I'll appreciate the murals.

It's being demolished imminently... having a mural on it to temporarily make it slightly less hideous is a good thing.
Projects are expensive and don't happen overnight. As I think has been made pretty clear, it's preferable to develop the lots into something cool. But in the mean time, there's nothing wrong with throwing up a mural to beautify the area.
