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

    Phase 2 is going to help our downtown look so much bigger from the west.

    General Infill Discussion

    2000? At over 750k per unit at the above price, these need to be renting at 3k!

    Windsor Park 118 Street DC2 - 6 storeys

    This probably strengthens an argument for 87ave transit bridge to connect west and south central. The density around this street is jumping significantly east of the river and soon to be west of it too.

    Old Royal Alberta Museum

    They should really move this. Better than 95% of the public art in our city. Put it somewhere it can be appreciated.

    Downtown Real Estate

    Agreed. Challenge will be getting families in that area. Chicken and egg. Basically need to build 400+ units and fill them all at once for the area to be safe enough for people to want their kids there. I think a few good parcels for a “Regent Park” type development would be: - 111st and...

    Edmonton | Abbey Park Residences | 22.86m | 6s | Abbey Lane Homes

    I really do like this more than I thought I would. Great addition to the area. Now to get some of these near SPR between 114st and 163st.

    Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

    Around 16/22 trees on the south side of jasper around the convention centre are dead. Wonder what the replacement plan is and why so many died.

    Downtown Real Estate

    Gen Z here with 1 kid and another arriving this fall. Dream for us is exactly what most of the product in the new burbs is for that middle density housing. 1300-1600sqft townhouse. 2 or 3 stories. Detached garage or stacked for some storage. Yard isn’t a must, but could be nice to have a little...

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

    Pretty impressive for the price points and sizes these are demanding. We had friends move last month from the Macleran to Citizen due to nicer amenities and a sense of better quality for your cost. They’ve liked it so far. Very interested to see our next census and population count for this...

    Edmonton Real Estate Market

    Yeah. Part of the challenge is that more infill is still working with single lot redevelopments. So you can get 4-8 units on a single lot, which is great. But a very different type of development/density than master planning a whole area and plopping down 5 apartment buildings of 300 units+ like...

    Edmonton | Falcon Towers | 170m | 44s | Langham Developments | Arc Studio

    Podium still needs some work. Couple floors left for balcony glass too.

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

    Stony plain looking east at 142st. 156st looking south at 95ave

    Downtown

    Gotcha. That makes sense. I guess the Alex/NAIT/Kingsway are all big employers. Always hard to know what to call our downtown. Kalen used it to discuss new suburbs and transportation, suggesting few people work downtown and therefore new suburbs aren’t a problem for commuting. But if 10% is...

    We’re looking pretty good comparatively!

    Cycling and Active Transportation in Edmonton

    Still another week to complete the survey for Wîhkwêntôwin renewal if anyone is interested! Surprisingly, there's still some anti bike laners, even in this area haha. So the supporting voices do matter! Lost parking is likely the biggest pushback being received...

    Downtown

    Kalen Andersen on Edify’s new podcast said 10% of the labour force is downtown. But 1/6 is almost double that… Anyone know what the discrepancy might be?

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

    How we feeling about them being done all elevated sections by EOY? That was their goal I know. Is the pacing going to make that possible with what’s left west of WEM?

    Warehouse District Park

    Fascinated to see how this turns out. Either going to be a huge success or a swing and a miss. But I respect the willingness to go for it! Take a risk… 😀

    Warehouse District Park

    Bro. Don’t create a false dichotomy. This is like all the people that suddenly cared about the homeless when we started building bike lanes but said $0 about any other financial decision ever. 160mil for an overpass concern you at all? 1 bill for yellowhead? And it’s 100mil for bike lanes. Not...
