If the university is looking at expansion, now would be a great time to explore business and law campuss to downton. The question is, should it be a tower or tradition build forms? A multi-use tower101st-104ave s/e would be a great location for law, business, and student housing. This could spur multi-use (including family housing, rentals, and senior over to north of Roger's...

If incentives are planned, let's give it pertinent rumination to capture all markets' potentials.

I'd honestly prefer a more traditional built form, and I dare say it would actually be interesting to see them built in separate locations, mostly south of Jasper, or on the far east of DT.

OR

Build them both in the Quarters, with student housing all around, close to the LRT stations. Could be the push the area needs to start gaining momentum.

That works too, but the location I suggested is next to the courthouse and at the heart of commerce. It will also be one step closer o completion to that important corner..

Don't disagree, I just believe that area has a potential to develop by itself, especially if more momentum is created elsewhere downtown, whereas these two areas I mentioned Will hardly see any substantial development happen until the free financial core is absolutely saturated.

Nothing else in Edmonton, but I've seen them working on projects on the Island, Kelowna, Calgary and I think even down in Arizona. But iirc one of Wexford's first development was Raymond Block here in Edmonton, and the cofounder used to live in Edmonton and went to the U of A, so they have roots here. Hopefully we something from them again in the future.

"For Sale" does not necessarily lead to "Sold"... it could be a means for establishing provable land value -- I have seen this happen many times in many places.

Maybe, but the market fundamentals continue to be what they are here and there are a lot of other areas to redeploy valuable capital and given their new markets and strategy, this once again is very indicative of a missed opportunity and yet another developer moving on.

Hello Everybody talks about how bad the conditions are in Edmonton. But from everything I read are population is growing quite quickly (faster than Calgary) and we had a good unemployment report so I’m not really understanding why we have such bad conditions. Please look at the following below and explain to me why everything is so bad in Edmonton.
