When people complain about lack of parking they are almost always just complaining about lack of free parking.

It honestly fits in pretty nicely when viewed from across the river

I've come across lots of people in my work from Calgary and even further like Vancouver or Toronto looking for stuff for their new properties here, the concerning thing though in my opinion is that I haven't met many that are planning to live here but instead just add to their real estate...

But nothing about form or function, the fact that it has little set back from the road, little to no surface parking lot?

What makes it suburban?

My favourite term is “luxury”. They'll slap that on anything

Maybe this is a dumb take, but I've always thought that Edmonton should try and develop a sort of reverse snowbird tourism strategy. Our summers -- if there's no smoke -- are super nice and the city is affordable relative to major cities, and I'm sure there are lots of people in the sunbelt that...

Getting close to ground level now

The reality is that Commonwealth is becoming too outdated to attract big events, and there are no consistent sporting events in Edmonton (and really all of Canada) that need a venue of that size. In a way its sort of like a less expensive version of Montreal's Olympic stadium where the cost of...

Putting in real grass is an easy enough and relatively cheap fix and was a non factor in fifa overlooking Edmonton

Is it common for buildings to be topped out before the cladding is started to be added or could there be some sort of issue they are running into with what they were planning on going with (functional, aesthetic, or supply issue)? It was a lot of months ago now that the first small section of...

Site is fenced off now, and a little bit “cleaned” up. Doesn’t mean anything is happening soon but it’s encouraging!

People love to complain about stucco, but honestly these plastic panels look way worse.

Crane is being installed now

There are workers on site, they seem to just be pumping out the lake that's formed at the bottom of the pit. Probably nothing but could possibly be a good sign?

Probably not specifically marketed to them, but lots of people from BC and Ontario are starting to buy properties in Alberta as investments

something drastic would have to have happened if the second tower was cancelled outright. If anything it might just be delayed, but it's hard to imagine that the developers wouldn't want to maximize the return on the site.

Walked by today, that's definitely what it looks like.

I think it was mentioned that its only 2 floors of underground parking right? must be close to bottoming out on the one half then.
