What is funny was that all they did was switch colors primarily with one minor physical augment from the previous render which some of us had suggested on here.

^^^^ It is definitely far more involved in terms of changes in concept than that. This is a Beljan-worthy effort and by far the best Edgar move in the City to date. So now we have three developers improving the City and its street scenes.

?
Yes the whole south of 82 ave paradigm is about to change.
I should have been a bit clearer. I was referencing the old render to this iteration. Night and day...

Good design inspires more good design! (or maybe forces...)

Wow. The first iteration was good, but the update is now a real looker. Hopefully this is enough to overcome the "curse" on that corner.

 

[Aaron_Lloyd]

Yah, wow! This project just keeps getting better.

Sounds like this one is postponed indefinitely.

Wow really? Could you expand on what you know?

If true I'm really, really disappointed. This proposal was one of the projects I was most looking forward to potentially starting in 2023.. The current vacant building is such an eyesore on Edmonton's premier street and destination and the proposal seemed to really emphasize what we all want Whyte/Old Strathcona to be, which is pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing while making use of alleyway space and a gathering place near the main intersection of Whyte.

I would have thought with the strong momentum of the area this one was a sure bet but I guess market conditions are bringing expectations back down.

If that is the case, that is not the worst thing. Maybe the easiest solution is for it to remain retail space. It is in a good location for that.

I recall when United Cycle moved out of its Whyte Ave space years ago, there was a big space I wasn't sure would be filled, but it was divided into several smaller stores and that seemed to work.

A variety of compounding factors.

A variety of compounding factors.

I do not understand why you would want to post that publicly assuming you were told that by someone in a key position with Edgar. Many developers following posts on Skyrise as you know. But then you know this and in posting this it must be factual right?
