Located on one of Edmonton’s oldest streets in the historic Old Strathcona neighbourhood, Raymond Block is named after the original Raymond Hotel which was located on this site in the early 1900’s. Whyte Avenue remains one of Edmonton’s busiest pedestrian streets and attracts local, national and international tenants. After nearly 20 years of environmental remediation, Wexford Developments acquired the site to develop a mixed-use building that respects the architectural history of the neighbourhood, while providing a modern mixed-use development including the first residential units within the provincial historic district of Whyte Avenue.

I love the SIGNAGE SIGNAGE SIGNAGE of early renderings.

 

[someMidTowner]

Snow and donairs. I love how Canadian that rendering is.

@someMidTowner The donair place is real.

@bennessb My other favourite is the made-up brands that sound like real ones. Best I ever saw was a rendering that included a "Bandana Republic"

Went to EDC on Sept. 6:

Motion to request additional information

• Provide coloured and referenced renderings of exterior elevations and accompanying exterior cladding material board

[And]

Seems as though they have removed signage and banners.. progress? or has it stalled?

 

[Daveography]

Still in motion, just not in a rush it seems.

[And]

Sorry, no pictures, but as of this morning, there is a large excavator on site with a number of personnel as well. No dump trucks though, so just preliminary work. Fencing is up around the site though as well as hoarding along the sidewalk, which is still accessible by pedestrians and ETS.
