If only they did the hidden railing treatment on the balconies as depicted in the renderings, this would've been a total win for the City. Alas, they cheaped out and went with the same ugly treatment as Icon and Fox, probably got a good deal retaining a vendor.

more like good from close, but never close to good

From the Development Vision section... they go into great detail about the design but from the pictures they put up, I can't shake off seeing the original "insperation" is an FAR rendering 🤣

Wow I opened this thread and saw the first posts as 'April 2nd' and thought this was all brand new..... got April fooled a day late 🤦‍♂️

https://www.podium-rentals.ca/ Podium is going to have an outdoor swimming pool?? Pretty cool.

Lol yaaahh.... Unfortunately the people pictured in those renders will not be the same type of people hanging around that washroom in real life. Expect to also see an ambulance parked beside in constantly.

For a uni student this is totally fine, long term living would be tougher. Better than a studio. As for the laundry in the bathroom, totally fine with this size of unit. Maybe one day we will start seeing the European apartment design where the washing machine is in the kitchen (usually in...

Also the hospital. I knew a nurse renting a duplex in Mt.Pleasant with three other nurses. Imagine how many nurses fresh out of college would be renting here.

BentallgreenOak Considering North Hill already has a train station, it is one of the greatest TOD opportunities in the city IMO. And I'd go even further than just U/D style development, it should be high-rise Vancouver-style TOD.

I sure hope so! Please keep the Grandin area dominantly residential, I loved walking through the area and getting a sense of peacefulness while surrounded by high density. Sick and tired of urbanists demanding commercial spots on every single corner and street and avenue and alley (Calgary...

It's ok everyone, we'll get the Hyperloop / HSR built with the Edmonton station where the South Hospital was supposed to be, and a Red Deer station right at the steps of their new hospital.... WIN WIN!! .... I'll see myself out

@Platinum107 No idea what it's like on Whyte, haven't partied on the strip in years. Chvrch of John was my go to while I was living DT edmonton. I heard its gotten stupid busy now though and does the bottle service thing now too so I don't know. Have you been to Baiju? It's quite the hotspot...

THE GLOBE! The old house where Mayfair on Jasper now stands. This place and Ezzie's is where my nightlife started at the age of 17 using my brother's ID 🤣 He'd used to come in like half hour after me and I'd hand him his ID through the smoke pit lol good times. Only once it didn't work because...

There still are nightclubs, they just aren't as appealing to the normal crowd because it's all about the bottle service now. You now got to burn stupid money just to look cool or be left feeling like a peasant if you aren't doing that. How many people want to buy bottle.... in Edmonton?? Go to...

re The Ampersand.. can only renovate so much of a building for the economics to make sense. And the extensive work done in the interior is proving to be a huge success. The Ampersand naming is a testament to its extensive amenities offered to tenants... it's an office tower & conference center &...
