Like... Why the clap board siding?? Just go with the panels and stick to 2 colours and materials, would like 2x better.

Okay I kinda see where you're coming from. They definitely look better in person, and these buildings do have relatively simple designs when compared with the great examples you shared here. With that said, I guess these buildings have achieved something that, while not world class, has been...

Genuinely curious given the strong negative opinion posed here: What specific qualities of this development do you see as being very bad/terrible? What would you have rather seen here?

the transformation of this area of downtown is kinda unreal. dozens of empty parking lots into a new downtown park and 1000+ units of residential is pretty sick!

Every time a dead thread gives me a notification I now always assume its someone asking "is this ever happening?". It really feels like there's little hope here sometimes 😭

While it is suuuuper disappointing to see another parking lot be created, it's obvious that Westrich is playing the long game, guys. Edmonton's market for downtown construction has literally been at rock, and I mean ROCK 🪨 bottom for the past 6 years. There has been so little capacity for new...

No ur right, my desire for vibez just clashes with how I believe things actually should be lol. I want people in the LRT station 😭

"Odd" is a funny way of saying hauntingly liminal and beautiful. I LOVE the vibe of our mid-century modern underground station architecture and how each station is kinda unique in its own way. Could some stations like Central get revitalization work done and better sight lines? Sure, but the...

"Downtown Toronto to Nisku Truckstop" really does capture the story of this site perfectly. I hope the developer goes back to the drawing board, and if not EDC and Council better tear this one to shreds from a design standpoint.

Yknow what... I actually like it. Gives me a Minecraft kinda vibe lol, and the windows at street level are 💯

Don't quote me on this but one of my profs informed me that the CRU may be used as an office for Dualita architecture, at least in the beginning. A cafe here would be so awesome but it may take time for local demand to warrant it, apparently :confused: Hopefully I'm wrong

Yeah, that's one hawt building 😩

SCATHING 😭 but accurate. These renderings show a product that, if seen to execution, will embody all of the worst design principles of Edmonton's current development scene; random blocky grey patterns failing to break up blank walls between tiny punched-in windows. I didn't have much faith...

NOOOO ITS REGENCY ISNT IT 😭 😭 😭 (jk)
