Cost of construction in Edmonton is quite surprising, with our winters the amount of heating and hoarding required increases costs significantly. Even items such as heated concrete add up, on top of higher base material and labor costs like you mentioned.

The actual constructions cost are going up, delays for lack of product are also pushing costs.
the consulting side however is going down. Can't believe how low the design costs are getting.

As cool as the images were this year during playoff games, should be even better next year when you can add people to the 2nd floor patio on the Stantec Tower Food Court and rooftop Brewhouse adding different "levels" of people watching the game on the big screen

I am really surprised that Alchemy, JW and Stantec didn't make use/take advantage of their spaces/patios more. Seemed very odd actually.

Are they even allowed to with the glass issue at Stantec? Is there any timeline on that problems resolution?

article from october says a safety film was being installed. I’m assuming they have judged it to be safe(ish) enough if a couple thousand people were allowed to hang out under it the last couple weeks.

New safety measures being added after multiple windows fall from Edmonton's Stantec Tower

Edmonton’s tallest skyscraper is being treated with a special “safety film” after several glass windowpanes fell from the structure.

Very well could be. I thought that work was complete?

But yes, that might have been it.

My memory is fuzzy but did they still not have scaffolding/covered walkways around the plaza when it was the moss pit? We went to game 5 against LA and I'm pretty sure that was still up along the building. Or maybe that was just part of the moss pit setup.

 

[IanO]

It was indeed up and so that work might very well still be in progress.

Stantec still has a whole floor that could have been used. 3rd floor is made for large events.

Interesting to see that Plantlife's website gives an opening date for this store of June. I wonder if that's for this year? Either that's outdated, or they're a lot closer to opening than some of the others.

Speaking of which, the Loblaw's store now has its own Facebook page (They're also on Instagram)

Loblaws City Market

Coffee and donuts to start our fresh day in our future office area at the store. There's no better way! Frame work is well underway and we are so excited!

It's like the Moss Pit never happened

Sure hope they find ways to activate that space through the summer. Anyone know if there are events etc planned?
