^ The deepest of pockets... but they will not be rushed in the process.

Really curious about who the new buyer is and their plans. Please oh please be a player with some deep pockets who see a long-term play and potential use of the air rights.

Its Atco and they are doing a 6 story trailer condo.

With the hype, my guess is either a tall tower or a corporate head office (or both?)

I'm not holding my breath on this or anything else really. Maybe I'm a bit jaded but I'll believe it when I see it when it's all done.

Was going to say, how many tower iterations have there been at this point with announcements? 5 or 6?

Well that fact that a few people in the know on here are saying it's a good/big deal has me hopeful.

My wildcard prediction is Westrich partners up with OEG and builds a residential tower there. Cheaper and quicker than their other proposal across the street.

It is not them. Not sure a 6 storey wood frame matches the vibe that OEG wants.

It would be a waste of the foundation if they build something short here. I remember years ago, during foundation pouring, I recall it being the largest raft slab foundation poured in the city? something like that?

The lack of underpinning limited the height but it's still good for like 40 stories.

The Plan was for a min of 50 stories. The slab was smaller than Stantec Tower. Regrettably I did not get that slab. it was supposed to be something like 50-60 70 for the towers.

Guessing a mixed use rental and hotel

^ Could be one of Marriott's other brands -- Series by Marriott with a residential tower would make sense, limited by 44 stories of upward expansion -- 20 hotel and 24 apartment would be my guess. Their current mix in ICE seems to be working well for them. With the new Fan Park on the to-be-built schedule an additional Marriott brand makes sense particularly if they include the land on 104th Street in the mix -- potential for some real creativity downtown.
