Absolutely agree. Metro 78 was not the first GSA project . There are many more in the pipelines.

Just checking in to thank you all for the conversation and input. I will try to provide updates on the next steps of this project every once in a while. We were the Urban Planning and Urban Design consultants on two other projects for Pinto Properties, both in Garneau. One is a three storey...

Quick update on Metro 78: We are ready for December 6 public hearing. We’ve made significant changes to the site plan to preserve the design of the buildings. The details are in the administration report - items 3.25-3.28...

#saveMetro78 That’s all I am asking. I think this issue about betraying the residents if Council amend the ARP needs a broader discussion. The MDP takes precedence. That is the law, period. As a taxpayer, I will feel betrayed for not having “a” TOD project along the south leg of the...

The outcome of last night public hearing was frustrating to say the least. It is troubling to hear that area redevelopment plans are covenants between the city and residents and therefore should not be changed, which would then be considered a break of trust.

I would really appreciate any effort to demonstrate support to this project. Thank you so much!

The administration report will be available on Thursday or Friday this week. I encourage you to take a look at. This project checks many boxes on what Edmonton is looking for not just in terms of infill. Social equity is one of the backbones of Metro 78. It will bring housing affordability to...

No need to keep looking at the newspaper anymore. Stick a fork in it… September 13! We should resume the conversation before D-day

Sometimes it is better to put your head down and keep working. But if anyone thought this project was dead, they don’t know our team. Keep your ears to the ground as people say.

There’s another project in Garneau on 110 St that we were working on during the winter before shifting gears to Altairus. We call it Sugarbow for lack of a proper brand. The DP was approved in May. Maybe it’s time to create a thread for it. It’s a nice three-unit row housing with rooftop patios...

We plan to respond to all comments on a report to the City, but since you brought it up, I'm happy to dedicate a special response to this one. This idea of not following the ARP policies is flawed. Anyone, developer, consultant or resident can apply to amend an ARP. This is the rule which we...

Open Sky’s building has been officially named The Jameson.

Absolutely! I attended Open Sky’s groundbreaking yesterday along with many people that helped this project to get to this point. Don Iveson, Oliver Community League representatives, and City staff were also there.

Happy to report that City Council approved the Altairus rezoning today.

Thank you! I would appreciate the effort.

The north, east, and west facades have stepbacks at different levels but are not shown in this particular view.

We’re getting close to request a public hearing for council approval (or not). We appreciate if people could take some time to leave their comments to the city planners.

The name of this development is Altairus. I have provided more information in the thread below. Public Hearing for rezoning is scheduled for Aug-31.
