So what does this mean for this project?

 

[Daveography]

@bodsbods9090 It means Council's decision will be that much more difficult.

At a ratio of Council approving 3 out of 4 that Planning nixes, I say it passes by 3 votes.

This, along with the Cidex on Whyte, are the two I hope will pass.

Knock on all the wood you see.

Ugh.

Honestly, I think that City Planning is really missing the point here. Like ok, maybe there is something that we don't know behind the scenes with this development, but if we have all the information, I don't see a reason why this one should be stopped.

Sounds like the rezoning passed with some amendments to increase the setbacks and to commit to phasing out commercial parking when both towers are complete (which hints they will be built in phases).

Definitely going to add some Pizzazz to the Edmonton urban scene -- well thought out development!

There’s always the concern about above ground parking but I’d love to see this development employ something similar to this if that’s the route they choose to go. It can look sharp in real life.

 

[Edmontonian]

Is above ground parking final? Because it feels like a waste of space on such beautiful towers.

 

[Daveography]

@Edmontonian Far from final, it's designed to be converted to additional units when the west Valley Line LRT is completed.

 

[bodsbods9090]

This is one I hope goes in our next round of developments. Just love this look and where it's going.

Expect 124st and Whyte stuff first.

What's their 124 St project?
