$30 mill...that's a big revitalization. Is there work on the outside of the building happening too?

A 38-unit building of micro suites. I was part of an appeal against this development; we won, because the variances they assumed they would get (Dreamstar Custom Homes/Harry Mann) were egregious. We won the appeal, but all we did was slow them down on the basis of one designed feature: balconies protruding either side much farther than is normally allowed. The bungalow had been completely refurbished, with a sun room and a basement suite. The evergreens were mature and healthy. And yes, another heritage home bites the dust with the Klyft residence, The architect (SPAN architecture) lied at the hearing, saying that the newer condo development (well-designed) on the corner of 83 Ave. And 108 St. Had no front-facing entrances because “they’re not safe in Garneau.” The house on that site was actually moved to 84th Ave. Both of the homes on 83 Ave. were demolished mechanically and I assume they’re hauling them away to the private landfill; it’s cheap to do this in Edmonton, as it remains the only major city in Canada without incentives to prevent this type of waste. A sad day for my neighbourhood. The developer said we shouldn’t exist. I have come to conclude that the city agrees.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry. That's brutal and ugly on so many levels.

The thing I want to see is the part of the building right along the sidewalk become something where there is activity a lot more activity than there is now or even from before

Good spot for an outdoor cafe.

... or something enclosed like a nice one story building with lots of windows and an outdoor patio space integrated into it.

Or converted to a Business Centre (one in the west and another in the east makes sense).

At this point I'm curious which major office asset downtown decides to go for a big reno/revitalization. We've gotten a couple over the last little while, which hopefully increases values, property taxes, and reductions in vacancy.

Any idea if they're going to integrate/remove the current pedway/foodcourt entrance out front of the accessory building?
