The debate over this has me convinced that the ZBR didn't go far enough. Why is this even a discussion when The Pearl and Citizen are already built?

Jasper House Rezoning — The City of Edmonton is considering a developer’s application to rezone 12021 Jasper Avenue NW to allow for a 31-storey residential tower next to the existing Jasper House apartment building. Residents can ask a question or share their thoughts about the application until June 30.

Calls for public engagement: Downtown tower, Fort Sask bike park

Every time I open Engaged Edmonton I get war flashbacks, istg.

Actual insanity venting aside, the "Recently Retired Entrepreneur's" comment is taking me OUT. Like omg, the only view that truly matters, the river valley one, is going to be just fine and you're complaining about the view to the WEST? Girl please

For every complaint, it should get one extra floor lmao

Looks like this one is going to council on Monday:

So that entire row is being rezoned to DC?

 

[Filip.Nowak]

I love the concept of this building but I really hope the final design can be refined. The way it’s looking right now is quite messy and inconsistent with the whole pixelated look :/

 

[degrandprix]

So that entire row is being rezoned to DC?

From what I can gather, currently the whole row has a flat DC1 zoning, and because this site is being rezoned separately as DC, the rest of the row is being updated to DC as well. I'm not really sure what that means for the other sites though.

Approved by council today. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmo...or-31-storey-tower-on-jasper-avenue-1.7339137

Aaron Paquette was opposed for some reason. The other 3 were just the usual suspects.

This will be an exciting tower with a great developer

Some of the criticism of this tower even from councillors who voted in support was that one of the primary materials proposed for this tower will be stucco - comparable to the Falcon/Fox towers on 104st.
Councillors were mostly in agreement that given the prominent location of this tower they would like to see higher quality materials.

So this is likely to go ahead in the next year or two?
