@archited - Received a reply from ONE already and they said they're still finalizing the design, so they can't yet release renderings. Feel free to make a thread for it in the meantime though!

@Daveography, I second @Marcanadian's notion -- rest up and feel better. Until you are at 100%, I will trawl the news outlets looking for information related to the various threads for Skyrise Edmonton and place it in context. Unfortunately, situated in Los Angeles, I can't stand in with updated photos, replacing your yeoman's effort at doing so (I have always looked forward to your new cache of photos on various projects around the City). Perhaps @Hilman , @Das Ponto, and @chrisvazquez7 can fill in for a while.

From the Edmonton Journal.

The family of longtime Old Strathcona grocer Tubby Bateman is proposing to demolish the store he once owned and a nearby cafe to build a 28-storey condo

If we can get renderings of this project we'd love to do a story on it!

Here are all the display boards shown at the open house. (Not my photos)

Rebooting Century Park

A new version of the transit-oriented Edmonton project will be significantly denser, with a focus on serving the rental market

Really crappy drive-by photos of the new bus barns u/c at Fort Road and Yellowhead.

Also looks like the BCM project on Fort Road near Belvedere Station has stalled after building a single level of concrete (didn't get photos of that one). That area just can't get a break.

Another crane!

Lol. The last part of your statement is too funny. BCM project stalling... why do they even bother anymore? They did the same with Infiniti, Corners, and now Belvedere Station too... are they just trying to piss off the city?

Development will continue changing the face of Edmonton in 2017
Edmonton isn’t likely to see a construction boom in 2017, but the landscape will continue to grow as big projects wrap up and new work gets underway, say commercial real estate experts.

The downtown core is still the city’s development hot spot with $5.5-billion worth of work proposed or underway, including the Ice District’s 66-storey Stantec Tower and 54-floor JW Marriott Hotel-Legends Private Residences.

Although they won’t be finished until 2018-19, they’ll make a big difference to the look of Edmonton’s core over the next 12 months, says Avison Young principal Cory Wosnack, part of the district’s leasing team.

“You will see this massive physical change to the skyline … You will see two (new) towers.”

That will be a shot in the arm for a construction industry that, overall, could face a soft 2017.

It's pretty obvious that BCM is trying to recover from financial difficulties. Abandoning a project after excavation never bodes well for a development company's health. And then ditching their signature project after a great deal of fanfare -- the Edmontonian -- doubles down on that notion. At the moment they are probably just trying to avoid bankruptcy. For their sake and for the continued expression of a progressive City, I hope they can turn the corner. I think that development companies in general are having a difficult time weathering the unnecessarily lengthy process to go from concept to development completion in the City of Edmonton. Los Angeles used to be bad and then they cleaned up their act; hopefully Edmonton can read the writing on the wall.
