Absolutely ridiculous this continues to happen over and over and over to every day people minding their business downtown.

Its not use I gave up lonnnggggg time ago, he doesnt understand anything outside of the four walls of his bobcat.

*Verde, yes that was their plan last I spoke with them

That’s correct. It’s been the owners’ vision to have three restaurants all named after the colours of the Italian flag in Italian (rosso and bianco mean red and white, so last I heard they’re working on green).

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/aviation-training-hub-1.6916372 Would be great if CBC Edmonton, which wrote the article, discussed more how this would impact aviation and training in Edmonton instead of Calgary, U of C, Mount Royal, WestJet in Calgary, etc...

You cant charge higher rents just for the sake of charging higher rents. Multifamily buildings like this only work under CMHC financing (all multifamily projects that move forward today only move forward if they have CMHC financing and not traditional bank financing given the state of interest...

I am not quite sure how to even respond to your post given I spoke nothing about permits or residential housing, but focused sharing comments on developments in the core specifically on tower 101, which is the topic of thread. My personal experience is that I work with developers all day, every...

Smartest people in the room syndrome with city admin and council.

Shhhhhh you're just spreading negativity (as some would say on this forum). This is the same sentiment I have heard (among many other non forward moving messages) in the development circles. I was speaking recently with a large-name Edmonton developer last week and their comment was that the...

There is a theme by some on this forum that if you make critical statements or highlight certain shortcomings then you are labelled as negative. The irony is that we are all on this forum because of our interest in Edmonton and I do believe that many (including myself) are critical of certain...

Ken, yes while you are absolutely correct and to summarize for others on this forum (in layman’s terms Ken is effectively saying developers are looking for a return), some developers or owners will look at a specific return on investment (say that they need a 20% return) but justify it based on...

Do you? Because you like to make a lot of claims and in certain cases “stake my reputation” on things that don’t end up turning out as you claim (I guess your reputation isn’t worth much). See Kens post. There are no permits of a tower.

Havent you noticed lately? EIA is busy talking to everyone BUT airlines. YEG management actually does a really good job at business development, except everything but business development with airlines...

I followed up on this for those that are interested and as I predicted in my note above from March for the reasons I listed this piece of land is STILL publicly listed for sale. There have been some can kickers but the fact that a piece of land in the commercial district of the downtown of a...

Possible? Yes. Probable and within what time frame? My probability estimate is low that 3 happen within the next 10 years. 1. Westrich has the one that from what I have been told will likely go forward within the next 3-4 years, economics depending. 2. Affordable storage was sold/is for sale...

I looked through the city's development permits. There is no permit for construction of that tower.

Unfortunately, I agree. I pulled up Explore Edmonton's website and I am not able to determine what purpose "Why Edmonton?" fills that is not done by Explore Edmonton. It almost seems to duplicate the efforts of Explore Edmonton except it doesnt do it as well. https://exploreedmonton.com/...

In bold - yes. See my comment in post #836. Calgary's profile is bigger because the City pushes, their Chamber of Commerce pushes, so does Invest Alberta and the government of AB, and Edmonton gets little to none of that.

I hate to say this because I know what response I am going to get from some on here but the main reason for Edmonton dropping in tech related job growth and Calgary having more is.............wait for it..................Calgary is gobbling up a lot more of the tech companies that are choosing...
