CTV News has an article about the project.

Design committee reviews proposal for Station Lands development

Qualico Developments unveiled their plans for another portion of their Stationlands project to the Edmonton Design Committee on Tuesday night.

edmonton.ctvnews.ca

 

[Daveography]

Stationlands is the parcel of land where EPCOR Tower was built in 2007 at the corner of 104 Street and 101 Avenue. The next step is to build 430 residential units on the land just North of EPCOR’s headquarters.

Representatives from both Qualico and the architectural firm planning a new high rise and adjoining midrise tower say it will incorporate green space, art exhibits and water features.

They showed a model to the Edmonton Design Committee on Tuesday night that appeared to show the highest portion of the residential structures at approximately 24 storeys, emphasizing a corridor between the EPCOR Tower and the living units.

It seems like the picture included in the original article was incorrect. Here's some renders from their 6 o'clock news story, sorry for the poor quality. To me it doesn't seem to bad, but the material choices could make or break it I think.

 

[Daveography]

Based on what I'm seeing it's not bad.

 

[Kaizen]

I'm interested in what I've seen thus far. Had to watch the CTV clip a couple of times to decide. There is a lot I like about this concept but I couldn't imagine anything constructive happening on this site for 5 or 10 years.

 

[Hqcan]

Based on what I'm seeing it's not bad.

Really depends on the material choice. Brick/steel/curtain wall? Then yes not bad at all and a welcome addition. Other positive is that each of these projects concentrating residential growth will in turn fuel retail demand in the neighborhood. Looking forward to see ICE Phase 2 help link this all together

 

[Avenuer]

The elevations look worse than the renderings (since they show the entire tower and not just the first few storeys, like the renderings).

 

[Daveography]

@Nosirrah The first few stories are what matters the most.

 

[Moderne]

As per kcantor on C2E, who needs no introduction:

elevator cores and stairwells and foundations were all set 12 years ago and built with epcor tower. other than any parkade expansion to the east, this project is already at grade and should proceed pretty quickly once they do pull the trigger.

Carolyn Keeley - DIALOG

MOTION: M. Figueira

Motion of Support with Conditions

The Committee requires the Applicant to present an Administrative Walk-on which
includes street-level elevations, sections and renderings which illustrate in appropriate
detail the treatment of the public realm interface along the 101 Street and 105 Avenue
frontage. This submission should demonstrate design excellence as identified in the
Capital City Downtown Plan (Policy 12.1), and in particular, how the building interfaces
with adjacent streets and open spaces and activates the public realm.

SECONDED: A. Zepp

CARRIED
FOR THE MOTION: A.Benoit, D. Brown, S. Kaznacheeva, W. Sims, T. Antoniuk, A.
Zepp, D. Deshpande, M. Figueira

Noticed the gate onto the site from the museum has a sign notifying everyone the gate is permanently closed the middle of the month.

 

[Edmontonian]

I'm a little unsure judging by the first renders but the floor plan gives me more hope, I'm guessing it will be a long time before this project is fully realized though.

 

[Filip.Nowak]

So would this project be built to the south or north of Epcor tower?
