Would have been great as a limited table restaurant. But, even a simple observation deck probably would have been a money maker for the building.

Those are some thicc bois right there.

Was going to say the same thing, it already looks fairly tall. Going to be a beaut.

I see that you have fully adopted the conservative party messaging about federal debt levels. Alberta's energy economy needs to change radically to provide any sort of future debt relief. In the last 2 weeks, many jurisdictions (France, Germany, Quebec, Japan) have announced actual scheduled...

I know of 3 businesses in the Edmonton area that are voluntarily closing in the next week. They are doing it for two reasons: 1) even though they are allowed to stay open business has been extremely slow as many people are still afraid of coming out. They are losing money staying open at this...

Pfizer also had a similar case to AstroZeneca of odd illness in a candidate that led to a brief pause. While this is positive news, we are still a ways away from a vaccine, and even knowing whether that vaccine will offer temporary or permanent immunity.

Any guesses on weekend numbers? Given Kenney's surprising comments yesterday that new measures are coming this week, I would hazard a guess that we are in for some eye poppers.

I think if that larger Elbow river's edge project goes ahead it would make a considerable difference. Then fill the parking lots with some mid range and it would look real nice. Edit: wow i blocked it from my memory because of how bad the west towers are going, but Cidex is also going on the...

I was thinking the same, that's also got to be the least flattering angle of downtown still possible to shoot, so many parking lots/ small old buildings that are just dwarfed now. A bit more density back there would go a long way.

Wow, highrises there would probably have a pretty great view from the upper floors.

I can't see how anyone would objectively like this, it literally offends the senses in every way when I look at it. Sorry, y'all are wrong. This thing is fugly.

Rising out of west downtown like a giant middle finger to all sensible onlookers. "You wanted a new development in this economy? This is what you get!!"

I like the previous iteration as it becomes another non-flat top building with exceptional height in the city. Alas, I am not sure we will see another 200M tower for some time. Though this mixed use with a more heavy residential/ Hotel portion has the best shot. Does anyone know if the office...

:( I hope that Operater is doing well, wherever they now are. I know they caught some flak around here but I thought their exuberance for City development was nice.

Jokes but this is an actual improvement. Every time I see a new picture of this thing I feel like I'm being slapped in the face.

Looks like Detroit.

What sorry son of a bitch architect designed this? No offense to people with disabilities at all, but a blind person could have designed a more pleasing set of buildings. this is comical.

Probably would have been cheaper to build it out of shipping containers and would have achieved a similar aesthetic

I agree with most everything you've said here, minus the commentary on infrastructure spending growth. This has been a familiar well for government's passed, and I don't think they will eschew it based on theoretical holding capacity of the construction industry in the short term. It's also a...

Anyone else using the pictures in here as eyebleach for the awfulness of west village? At least we have Telus Sky.
