RZ going to Council on August 31.

I'd like to see this get built without any height reduction. Wishful thinking, maybe.

Slightly updated rendering (north portion of podium) in the Administration report going to City Council tomorrow.

^^^ If Stantec had a baby.

This would really add to downtown west of 105 Street.

^^^ If Stantec had a baby.

Please let it be this baby.

 

[Kaizen]

Please let it be this baby.

Looks like a boy, twins maybe...

 

[MCXavierL]

The gestation period for Stantec babies is a little longer apparently. Today, this was referred to a future City Council Public Meeting.

This would really impact the skyline! Anyone have renders or models of the skyline with this and The Shift and The Parks?

In all honesty I doubt this gets constructed as-is (likely will get shortened considerably), there just isn't enough demand in the Edmonton Region for another 40+ storey residential tower when we have newly-built projects struggling to fill up.

 

[IanO]

I don't disagree, but what was the rational to pass it along versus dealing with it?

I don't think Encore has much left at all and The View mostly has lower floor units unsold with views of the hospital parkade or the Madison 111 that it's tightly wedged between and for those views near the bottom they are asking $500/sq ft or more.
The Legends unsold units are asking for a lot more per sq ft and then we have The Symphony - and I don't know where sales are for that but I think it's higher priced, too.
I don't think there is any other new product is there? Is under $500/sq ft no longer in the cards for new product in downtown Edmonton?
