It looks really good, but I just do not see it being particularly attractive to many demographics given its location. I hope that I am proven wrong here, but am unsure why you would choose this over other options given area issues.

Demand outstripping supply will likely facilitate that.

I think the pricing, newness, and amenities may be a good fit for some young male professionals that want a shiny place near downtown and aren't worried about the area's challenges. Not sure if there are enough of them but I could see it being a fit for some.

If Hat at Five Corners is almost fully leased up (according to Puneeta McBryan's statements at the Council Committee meeting discussing downtown residential grants), then I'd argue this is an even stronger candidate based on pedway connectivity and the fact that the Ice District is right there.

I suppose that options are a good thing.

This is adjacent to a ton of cultural amenities for Indigenous and newcomer communities (particularly for African, Black and Asia Pacific folks).

I can see a lot of recent arrivals in Edmonton renting here for both that and affordability.

I’ve got a buddy looking to move here from stadium yards. Used to be on 104st and just misses the centrality.

He’s just a “short LRT ride” away, but says it’s enough to rarely be downtown anymore vs when you could quickly walk places. The amenity difference or true DT vs stadium area is big

Work on the pedway has commenced

How much work area do they need there, jeepers.

A massive amount apparently

 

[Clearshades]

Quite odd but there has to be a reason.

 

[EdmTrekker]

This is where we find out the City has added utility work to take advantage of the construction timing etc.

 

[The_Cat]

This pedway has been in the works for a while. I hope the weather cooperates.

Looking good!
