The 2 salons next door will be shadowed nicely. And they finally finished rebuilding that old church to the west.

I believe that is the long-awaited container/modular project for the Quarters. A bunch of groups took a run at it, but for various reasons did not proceed.

Renders of what is planned floating around anywhere?

I had seen a 3 storey 'C' shaped one from awhile ago, but doubt it is current anymore or associated with this group.
Very curious to see what is forthcoming.

Was it just completely forgotten about, does the owner just not care? I am wondering if someone is just putting off spending anything on this place in the hopes of selling it soon.
I realize with some new hotels downtown, it is more competitive, but that should be even more reason to up their game and not just give up. It is kind of sad to see what was once one of Edmonton's better hotels slide like this.

It's a shame (given the popularity of Mad Men/era) that they didn't go back to the original look.
Distinctive, elegant and you can create food/bev around it.

Distinctive and elegant i.e. understated 1960s elegance is simply not in the equation - the current owners think along different lines -e.g. re-cladding the hotel in the national colours of Serbia because that is where you immigrated from.

Progress on Gateway Blvd.
There are also plenty of footings/foundations just waiting for the steel to go up.

château Lacombe was a recent purchase for them wasn’t it? If you had a very large hotel chain I’m sure you’d be hesitant to do a bunch of capital improvements during a pandemic too! Lol. Imagine their occupancy rates 2020… But not finishing those last few panels of the exterior seems inexcusable.

I don't know when it was purchased by the current owners, but this property has languished for some time before COVID. I was a premiere downtown hotel for many years and if it is to get back to that, some money will need to be spent.
If not, it will really struggle with low occupancy while most of the better paying customers go to the flashier newer hotels and the older ones that have been better kept up.
Ian is correct, it actually does have the possibility to be quite distinctive and elegant with some effort. It is like the dull penny that needs some polishing up. Maybe the current (or past) owners don't quite get that this is not a suburban Holiday Inn.

Only in Edmonton do we celebrate building a model of a building like this that is being torn down. A little bit lost for words actually.
