@westcoastjos and @Daveography they (DER) are getting in the groove. I am betting that their proposal will be spectacular (solely on the premise that this will be their moment to really shine). This building will have a prominence like no other and there is likely to be ground floor retail and hospitality, a vertical stretch of office, a section of hotel (excellent location) and a topper that would best be described as ideal residential condo. Let's see how close I come to reality... any other thoughts?

I guess I nailed it in terms of uses for this tower -- is that clapping that I hear?

This is a big step forward for 101st!

When’s this expected to start?

Reminder that they've got their EDC public presentation Tuesday the 16th at 4:30 pm. I'll be there to check it out, we'll see if they let me take photos.

@Daveography, what you need is a spy cam (maybe disguised as a shirt button that takes pics every time you blink) and a patsy to blame the release on (I can volunteer for that).

Man, so many projects being proposed. What a great time for Edmonton.
Here's to hoping most of them go through.

According to a conversion, 50 stories equates to approximately 165m. I guess we'll find out come Tuesday

Wow! This tower is the literal definition of "Mixed Use"!

For this location I hope that they REALLY do something special. I mean, it's literally right in the center centre of downtown. would not mind another trophy tower here...

Edit: I will also probably be attending the meeting, too, for the very first time.

I don't know how many stories of this will be office, but if quite a bit of the tower is office space, it would increase the height over just being a hotel, or residences.

Lots of people interested in this one at the EDC meeting. Including @Platinum107! Nice to meet you!

 

[archited]

Pictures, guys, pictures.

 

[Daveography]

No go on photos, but Raj suggested he might get me materials. Will update.

At a glance, it's not terrible. Not sure I'd call it good, either. Some weird elements, weird design decisions. Podium looks inspired by the new RAM.

Height about 175m.

More to come.

 

[archited]

Materials, guys, materials. Does the project have a name?

 

[Daveography]

"101 - 102 Site" lol

 

[archited]

How about "101 -102 scooby-dooby-doo"

 

[Daveography]

CBC took a photo so I did too.
