Oh my...

CNIB might be the winner between these two busy (but similar) exteriors.

I guess for an old folks home is still is a gigantic step up from “our parents’ home”...

yikes.. one of the earlier proposals was one of my favourites, too.

I wonder how much money the developer wasted on those earlier versions?

The original design in the renders of this and CNIB are just far too costly to execute - especially when you end up going with window wall (I don't even know if it's possible to do those kind of protrusions with a window wall system). The extra cost of cladding 2 more sides of the protrusions really adds up over the scale of these buildings.

This is Edmonton after all. High rise developments don't have the luxury of Toronto or Vancouver-sized margins.

^And over time, if we keep building up our downtown at a fast pace, we may be able to see more high-quality designs popping up more often.

I love seeing a new tower on that corner/top of bank.

Looks like they're just finishing mechanical pavements, yes.
This one, along with the CNIB are really changing the area's skyline
