Much prefer the 101 Ave option as a nearby resident. Connects better for commuting downtown / central, easier build out without having to focus on the bridge over Wayne Gretzky Drive, and there's already a shared use path just north of 106 Ave through the river valley, plus service roads along a...

Laughably terrible. Good lord

Can you let slip if we'll be happy or sad about it? 😅

That's great to hear! More of this please!

If that promenade doesn't include at least a few spaces for coffee shops, bike rentals, etc. it'll be a wasted opportunity.

Looks like it's still the plan. They also cite the Strat hotel and the adjacent concrete block apartment as design inspiration, lol. From the DP:

Granted it could be any generic white guy, but I swear that's Oilers GM Stan Bowman on the phone there. 😅

The massing is fine. Love the retail, and the amenities area looks cool. The design, my god, it is not it. What is with architects in this city peddling this crap all the time?

Buddy of mine lived in the upstairs suite in one of them when he first moved out on his own, neat old houses. It'll be sad to see them go, even though quite a few aren't in good shape now. Hope whatever gets built is worthy of the location.

Ooof.

That funicular is actually the old Edmonton Incline Railway at approx. 101 st, where the Chateau Lacomb parking garage is now located (COE page on this railway). To my knowledge, the coal mine at the portal of the Dawson Bridge never had this, nor were there any matching buildings like is seen...

This one is beautiful and more of what I wish we'd see. It should be the minimum standard for projects like Westrich's 106 ST or 108 ST. It's not fundamentally different than either project, but a step up in design. That's not to pick on them, those projects aren't the worst, but they're the...

While we stare at the reality of this empty lot being around for many years more, all I can say aside from the disappointment of that is thank god the Enbridge Tower treated their alley elevations nicely. Imagine how much worse this would be with a blank / utilitarian wall facing the empty lot

When should we be seeing cladding go up on this one, @IanO?

Always love seeing the skyline from these angles. It's a great look from the NW and such a different vibe than from the south.
