This facade is being preserved, right? Have they started work yet?

This looks like a kind of adorable b&b, but I think i just have a soft spot for placed that identify as Bed & Breakfasts, whether or not they are actually places I want to sleep or eat.

@bennessb The facade is indeed being preserved. I'm not actually sure of the state of the site right now, it's quite a ways out from where I work downtown, though might bike down there to see at some point.

Dec. 17 - Not much going on outside, might be more activity on the interior but I couldn't tell.

I love how the headline focuses on the delay, not the fact that this will actually be starting this summer.

Edmonton Buena Vista building delayed a year
The developers behind the overhaul of the historic Buena Vista building on 124 Street have pushed back their construction schedule by a year.

Henry Edgar, a vice-president with Edgar Developments, confirmed the company will start construction later this year, 12 months past it’s initial planned start date, which would mean a building ready for occupancy in 2018.

“The project is going to move ahead and we plan to start construction later this summer,” he said.

Looks like they're getting ready to move on this.

Based on elevations, looks like a 27 storey building.

 

[Daveography]

@archited Good eye! You are correct, and the DC1 specifies the height to be about 85m.

The thread title and database for this building should be updated:
Edmonton | The MacLaren | 85m | 27s | Edgar | Dialog Architects

 

[LAMinat0r]

Has Edgar Development determined if the building would be a rental tower similar to the Hendrix?

Or is there an opportunity to buy a unit in this building?

 

[Daveography]

@LAMinat0r I suspect it will be rental, as it is proceeding without sales.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the timely reply!

That's too bad, I think that this is going to a beautiful building.
