The problem with the bones (structure) being in such good shape, the cost to bring the electrical, mechanical, sprinkler and HVAC up to current code is not reasonable. Thus demolition is the way to go

$300-325 is not possible in the current market

The plan was to have all soil cells and big trees. Epcor said no

I talked to the guys that were hired to do the landscape at this project. There were trees for the front but couldn't be done due to the amount of underground utilities.

agreed not the greatest look but a lot of things didn't go Boyle Streets way with getting their new facility under way which would have lessened the blow. Boyle Street also drove a hard bargain for this property and got way over market value. They had gone as far as submitting and getting...

Proposals are easy. The city has become completely unreasonable to work with lately, no one talks to each other or works together between different departments such as services, transportation, landscape, parks, garbage, design, etc. The all have their demands and are difficult to work with when...

My guess is change in structure

I actually find the initial design to have way less character. It was mostly glass and terracotta tile. I find the new brick design and offset of materials to be way more appealing

Another interest rate hike to pad the profits of banks and lenders. Don't expect many major project announcements. Small projects will still move forward though I would expect

It's not upper vista. I know that for sure. They will be building but not to do with these 2

Hearing 2 large scale projects starting in Edmonton with a large builder but new to Edmonton in 2024 and they are being super confidential about it. Any guesses?
