From July 4, 2023 EDC Minutes:

C.3 Capital Tower Revitalization (DP)
Mobolanle George- MOG Architecture Motion of Support: D. Brown Seconded: T. Ziola

The Committee welcomes this proposed development, and in the interest of ensuring a high standard of urban design recommends the Applicant:
● Consider incorporating contrasting or brighter colour (or mural/art opportunities) in the podium to enhance building massing, articulation, and human-scale (Principle C1 Exemplify Neighbourliness)
● Consider commercial frontage upgrading opportunities (e.g., rolling/folding doors (including art murals on security shutters), patio space (e.g., sidewalk, parklet, full patio c/w boardwalk, etc) and awnings/canopies) that markets and supports the commercial use and improves and animates the public/pedestrian realm (Principle A2 - Creating + Enhancing the Neighbourhood, District + Corridor; A3 Creating + Enhancing the Block, Street + Building)
● Provide a layout of lighting (including illumination levels) around the perimeter of the building in support of CPTED principles to advance safety at ground level (Principle A3 Creating + Enhancing the Block, Street + Building).:
● : Encourage further exploration with the City of Edmonton about the potential for partnership in streetscape improvements along 101 Street, such as enhanced lighting, sidewalk improvements, and street trees (Principle A3 Creating + Enhancing the Block, Street + Building)
● Consider alternate alcove/main entry gates options (e.g., Vestibule extension, Unique/Artistic design and materials, etc.), including opportunities to bring colour, an inviting presence, and pedestrian-scale to the entrances in a cohesive approach (Principle A3 Creating + Enhancing the Block, Street + Building)

For the Motion: E. Dunn, D. Brown, M. Tindall, K. Dieterman, J. Monfries, C. Dorward, C. Kanna, T. Ziola

About to hand over another project this week. Fountain Park pool lifecycle renovations in St Albert. Was supposed to be a 2 phase project ending in 2025, but found some structural issues last year. The city pushed ahead with both phases instead. So we pretty much gutted the building and are handing it back in14 months. Just 5 days over when we had planned to do it. But still quite happy with the finished product. Will have photos later.
