Pretty quiet over there of late.

Anyone hearing anything about this one?

 

[Clearshades]

My guts says it going to stay quiet.

I work at Atco Centre so I've been monitoring the pedway, they seem to be preparing for work. The site has been inactive for months but they've just today posted job site contacts and covid warning signs (and hand sanitizer) at the pedway access.
No signs of activity at Milner itself though.

The last tenants vacated in April, so turnover of those floors would have occurred in May. My understanding is the new owners were not open to any lease extensions at that time. Of course, COVID likely threw a wrench in plans that were on the table. Original indication was condos, so perhaps a change to rentals was/is in order.

Unsure if and what may have happened, but there was a lot of moisture on the windows of the Milner when I walked by today.

They started removing the pedways according to a friend that works in ATCO. Also, the pipes seemingly burst every winter on the west face, so it could be that too.

Came across renders while doing some research on the building.

The Milner - Westcorp

Investment Opportunity A natural extension of downtown Edmonton’s vibrant 104 Street district, the Milner is poised to enter a new chapter in its already historic existence as one of the finest examples of mid-century modern architecture in Alberta. Westcorp is thrilled to be part of its story...

On the floor plans, the two large units by the elevator shaft have master bedrooms with no windows. Aren't there supposed to be two escape options (door and window) available for bedrooms in case of a fire?

 

[IanO]

Not for concrete high-rises.

 

[chrisvazquez7]

Ouch. A bedroom without a window?
