That's great to hear it'll be nice to see that land filled up, just a little bit sad that it wasn't going to be on part of the blatchford land. I hope some stuff starts getting built west of the LRT tracks for NAIT.

This thing is going to be huge: 657,300 square feet. For reference, Londonderry Mall is 776,749 square feet.

NAIT is definitely finding its place on "The Map" with this project. I am looking forward to innovative construction ideas coming out of this program.

This will be roughly equidistant to both LRT stops. Any chance this spurs an earlier opening of the northern station?

 

[Yeggy]

Maybe we can see some student housing go up around the station too

Assuming this goes ahead, I think it'll be by far the most important in-progress post-secondary project in Edmonton.

^ And on many levels. As a Build Lab I could see big advancements made in construction methodology and applied technology.

Based on some conversations today, This project could be 4 years away if there no additional funding from the GoA.
Student Housing is a P and P project so outside their control at this point.

There it is.

Probably means Norquest is in the same fate too.

What is a P and P project?

Hate to disagree @Airboy but the documentation from PCL says otherwise…..I could show it but then I’d have to kill everyone on here….lol
