Or is it 37 floors now?

Yes The Permit say ADD 12 floors, Not remove.
It also means that this will be 100+ meters

Damn so they intend to build the tower on the already built podium much taller?

LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!

So this just re-affirms what we "thought" we already knew and that the new East tower will indeed be 37 floors? As per @archited?

 

[Barnaby]

This change should make it one of Edmonton's 5 tallest residential buildings.

Gotta bring this back with this development permit news

 

[Munanyo]

Holy shit. This is some unexpected and big news! Those extra residents will be great for the core.

 

[Munanyo]

Also here's hoping this spurs some development around the area and helps kickstart Ice District 2.0 residential to finally get going.

 

[Avenuer]

With this change the tower would be 37 floos and 120 metres tall. For reference, EPCOR Tower is 150 metres tall at the tip of the spires (top of mechanical roof is around 140 metres).

 

[bodsbods9090]

There he is! @Avenuer coming through with the renderings!

 

[archited]

Just as I had predicted -- news release this fall for the new 37 storey tower (incidentally the base was already structurally designed for the additional height) with a construction start next year probably between late spring and mid-summer. Qualico is underscoring their own momentum with this project -- if it leases up quickly then there will be additional construction news to follow. This is now Edmonton's premier build -- congratulations Qualico (hopefully other developers will take note and stop building "cookie-cutter" projects thinking that they are doing right by the City and its people).

Another thought -- this should also juice their retail and hospitality offerings in the "Switch" -- the complex is now underscoring a strong forward movement to build a City within a City.

I stopped reading at "just as I had predicted".

I will start with "I'm really happy to see this".

IF this starts, It will be the tallest building built since the Encore Tower back in 2020,
This being CONFIRMED as the new height after months of speculation is Interesting,
This could be a Pivotal moment in the Project,
As it could either start work and wow us all or get cancelled and disappoint all of Skyrise Edmonton

What's making you say IF? Qualico has a decent track record, no?
