I love the fact that Cidex continues to build but I have to ask, including Calgary, I never see many lights on in any of their buildings. Anyone else notice this? Is there something off with how they build? I've never actually toured a cidex building so I don't have a good perspective.

name a tower that you think is equivalent. icon 2 - ~$490 fox - ~$554 for pent house encore - ~$585 this is just from taking random listings off of realtor.ca

For me, its not even the condo fees, Units at ultima are going for roughly $470/sqft Thats a huge difference

Even with those incentives $765+/sqft is still insane expensive for the average person looking to buy a condo. Had a peak on realtor.ca and the cheapest condo is $359,000 for 469sqft & once your year is up on condo fees $567.78/month. yeeef

Hope you're right. Would love to see it. At the same time, I've talked to a lot of developers who have told us the project is 100% full go and it never happen, so I'm not holding my breath

I heard once they started doing soil samples and engineering excavating/shoring, piles and everything else they were in way over their heads. I'd be shocked if this build ever happens

the biggest problem with older homes is that the exterior walls were built with 2x4 so you can't get enough insulation in there. only options are to add a second wall (very expensive) or outsulation, which I have not seen much if any for residential homes but definitely worth looking into...

When I lived in downtown vancouver I rarely went to the "shopping" area of robson it was usually mostly tourists in these areas. Spent all my time in yale town or gastown for the restaurants. or went to stanely park or the seawall or kits beach or english bay. When I wanted to shop I went to...

Coming from someone who has lived in downtown for a long time and now not living in downtown. Shopping was never one of those things that convinced me to move into downtown and shopping is not something I'd even consider going to downtown to for. Living in downtown to me and many people I know...

Sorry but I have lived in downtown Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver & Montreal. When I needed groceries (except for Montreal because there is a grocery store every couple blocks). I left downtown. When I needed to shop for clothes or other random items I left downtown. I rarely ever walked around...

I'll agree the location doesn't match anything near the ice district. a bit of a walk in comparison. views though, I bet once you can see over the leg facing south would be amazing views. (or could spy on the sky palace haha)

Have you compared to Augustana or the Hat? does location relate to price point? finishes?

I think Katz buying the Boyle Street building was the final piece he needed to begin development of the baccarat casino space. I've heard rumblings of some type of mall/shopping area. I've even heard Holt Renfrew as a potential tenant once built. All hearsay though.

Yes but there are also U.S. market teams that are revenue negative. He is not going to move a team that makes the league money. He will do another expansion team before he moves a revenue positive team. Also Battle of Alberta is good marketing for the league and has a long history. It makes no...

Do you not remember all the scare tactics Katz played when trying to get an arena deal done? its part of the game

This is no different than when they were trying to get a deal for Rogers place. So many Edmontonians with the same fear "taxes paying for billionaires". Its hard for people to understand the full benefit of a state of the art stadium/arena in their downtown core. Just look at how Edmontons...

Boyle Street is currently working on a bunch of great things for the community. This will be there largest but expect an announcement sometime next week on some of the smaller things they have been working on fantastic organization!

me personally. I lived in Edmontons downtown from 05-08 and back then I'll be honest dt was not that desirable then, hidden lofts were the most sought after which I had. Then I moved all around Canada, lived in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, sometimes in downtown, sometimes in the out skirts...

I've met a couple people who own units in in Sky Res while having drinks in the lobby bar, both are people with a lot of money and only come to Edmonton periodically for business. not too sure who else own those. I could see the oilers owning a couple units for players when they come up from Bako?
