    Touch the Water Promenade / River Valley "Seawall"

    I see both arguments Out of Towner, regarding keep the powerplant itself versus something new. My biggest concern is something in the middle, aka do nothing for another decade. In my dream scenario, no funding constraints & all parties on-board, would be a mid-rise development of all the...

    Touch the Water Promenade / River Valley "Seawall"

    To "touch" on to the Touch the Water aspect of the Riverside Promenade, once again chiming in from the City to the south with an Edmontonian perspective. I'll remove landscape hurdles (River Vallley is significantly steeper in most spots than Bow). Counter is floodplain issues for Calgary...

    Edmonton | Manulife Place Renovations | 145.99m | 36s | AIMCo | MdeAS

    National Bank Prescence in Calgary is focused on investment banking, & conservative commercial banking + wealth. Big 5 (6) banks shouldn't hurt anyone for jobs except the c-suite/ego drop of another Edm pubco HQ (STN, CPX, NOA, who else now?) In my opinion, just like Canadian Western & ATB...

    Downtown

    anecdotally only, but between coworkers and strangers in the 15+, there is A LOT of interest in Calgary for in visiting/researching Edmonton for the SCF. Beyond those paying the $$$$$ for actual tickets, talk of being in the "ice district", "part of the experience" is true. Expect some fresh...

    Edmonton | Westrich McKernan-Belgravia | 22m | 6s | Westrich Pacific Corp. | JS Architect

    As a not even that that long ago U of A grad (2015 😭, whatever helps me sleep at night) I remember friends and classmates staying in a room in one of those paneled beige houses for $400/month in early 2010s. I am also an OG garage suite dweller of Belgravia, a unique but cramped roommate...

    The Parks | 146.91m | 45s | 35s | 13s | Pangman | Hariri Pontarini

    Beyond the other proposed developments around the warehouse park, I'd love for a completed Phase 2 to eventually spur some momentum like what happened in Oliver to get two major Jasper ave parking holes filled: -Lot #32 10605 Jasper Ave adjacent to First Candian Place -10745 Jasper Ave between...

    Boardwalk-Revillon Revitalization | ?m | 6s | Allied Properties REIT | DIALOG

    Considering that size increase, would this be upstairs into the office portion? Allied had the various spaces easily available on their website before, but to my knowledge the Boardwalk side was mostly available edit found the level 2 spaces in question on CBRE ...

    Edmonton | The Mercury Block | 21.7m | 6s

    Glad to see the continued momentum of this project and the 124th area in general. So many similar, tired walk-ups north of Jasper that need the same fate. I moved to Calgary over a year ago and this area & living along the Vic promenade are probably what I miss most about Edmonton. That and Donairs

    Edmonton | CNIB Redevelopment | 106m | 32s | ONE Properties | Wallman Architects

    I have been too lazy to pull out a telephoto at my new place. I've been shy on this forum, but lets just say I have the oldest vehicle in the parkade. Wonderful underground parkade, after falling victim to a stolen Cat. converter at my prior apartment in Oliver. Anyways, didn't lug the tripod so...

    Edmonton | Connect Centre | 56.3m | 16s | ONE Properties | DIALOG

    Reminds me of a mini Staples Center / Microsoft Theater plaza with the media stands. I wouldn't mind a few more sport hero statues ;)

    Touch the Water Promenade / River Valley "Seawall"

    Same here. Very happy to see the daylighting come through. So much concrete debris along that stretch

    Edmonton | The Augustana | 96m | 30s | Pangman | DIALOG

    If I was transferring to Edmonton for a downtown professional role, car-less, and already used to the $$$ / amenities of a big city it would check the boxes.

    Edmonton | The Augustana | 96m | 30s | Pangman | DIALOG

    I am currently in the market for a central 2 bedroom rental. My Girlfriend inquired on both The Augustana and CX Grandin. Both look great inside, but it's tough to justify paying $2,000+ before parking for something smaller than my 70s era 1 bedroom. Especially when there is good bang for buck...

    Miscellaneous

    ^I am so excited for this project. One of the great hypothetical ideas discussed on this forum becoming reality. Another is the Scona Garage project! Now I just wish someone would take on the Canada Permanent Building

    Edmonton | Valley Line LRT/ Valley Line West | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton

    ^great shots Avenuer! Photos 1 and 2 give me a feel for the low floor, neighborhood design of this section. My latest car commute took me far out to the South East industrial in March, and driving up Connors and 83 Street was still a mess compared to this

    Edmonton | Edmonton Motors Lands Redevelopment | 170.07m | 56s | Pangman

    I couldn't agree more. The big gaps in Oliver and the 108 to 106 warehouse park areas create immediate dead zones of crumbled concrete (I know this sentiment is obvious to the contributors of this forum). I live in the south side of this Oliver dead zone, and it is vibrant with cyclists, dog...

    Edmonton | Edmonton Motors Lands Redevelopment | 170.07m | 56s | Pangman
