I like this rendering. In some ways, it's something similar to the Sears/Willis Tower in Chicago.

Here's hoping this gets the go ahead and starts construction and Katz will try to one up it with a 350 metre tower or something for ego purposes

In the top portion of second photo posted above - Tawatina bridge is there but the entire ice district is missing from the skyline. WTF ????????

It looks like some adults still have the mentality of a child.

It looks perfect. It's going to be Edmonton’s Empire State building when it's completed.

I think the architect should be updated as Dub is now the designer tied to this project.
I still have my doubts. But as I've always said prove me wrong.

It's a great mix of the original dream proposal and the second more blocky realistic one, I love it honestly.
Plus the project already appears to be running on dub time

I wonder if that was the strategy. The first version was excellent, but they needed to change it for whatever reason. So they throw out that garbage second rendering so that number three looks great by comparison.It's a great mix of the original dream proposal and the second more blocky realistic one, I love it honestly.

To summarize, it is an ambitious project (I think overly so in this case) for a difficult, in many ways, location by a company without experience with this sort of thing.
So, I think the chances of it happening are slim. I also think the Quarters and the city would be better served by focusing on more realistic projects on some of the empty lots north of this.

Would rather see 3 or 4, 20 to 40 story buildings (condos. hotel, apartment) go up in this area over one mammoth project to be honest. Would add a lot more to the area, IMO.
