Why would a tunnel be cheaper? I'd expect it to be more money since it would need to be TBM'd rather than cut and cover (no way the railroad would allow digging up all their tracks for a year)

Assuming he means VIA for our limited number of intercity trains

Are you sure the project you are talking about isn't on the other side of Blatchford? I'd be surprised if the Crimson Cove units weren't individually metered since they are freehold. The NX Build project would make more sense to have a central mech room.

First Crimson Cove house I've seen for sale in Blatchford - with finished garage & basement suites https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26490636/8043-cedric-mah-rd-nw-nw-edmonton-blatchford-area

Really excited to start seeing some of these pop up! Midblock is much more interesting than the typical corner lot 4 or 4+4 townhomes we have lots of.

What a great spot for some ToD - literally between the train and busses, meaning one less surface parking lot adjacent to transit!

I lived there in a 1 bedroom on the 4th floor when it first opened for 2 years, and know someone who lived there for the past 2 years. Generally the building and unit were really solid, I had no maintenance issues or anything when I lived there. The balcony got really dirty facing 116th...

They updated that page today with some additional routes, totally 17km https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/roads/active-transportation-network-improvements-project#stack97093 In 2024, approximately 17 kilometres of the network will be completed. 106 Street from Princess Elizabeth Avenue...

Wondering if they are adding parking specifically for the main floor office space?

I don't think they are abandoned, as there has been slow but continual progress on these since they broke ground. They have been much slower than the ones being built by other builders nearby, but I'm guessing that is due to them being a really small developer...

I wish they had used the same quantity of brick to just make the bottom ~3 floors entirely brick and leave the rest stucco

The design lacks in both colour and interesting shapes. Look at some quick examples I pulled off Google. Not even saying it needs to have housing above (but would make sense towards the goals of blatchford), but look at the more interesting brick and shapes.

This is a slightly updated render that shows the end unit door on the right side instead of facing the street like the other units

I think from the floorplans and the slight transparency (easier to see on the South building) the wood geometric paneling is on top of the window, so looks like they are sticking with the renders pretty closely. Neat idea to handle windows into a bathroom!

There's a very nice looking unit for sale in it right now https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26207399/108-11220-99-av-nw-edmonton-oliver

Still out to lunch with their pricing but glad to see these are making progress! Has there been any work started on the other group?

They also said the cable work is not related to the previous upgrades
