So the site on 109th has a Pagnotta sign on it and a drill rig on it as I drove by this morning. Looking forward seeing what's going in there.

Nice to see stuff happening on 109th close to Whyte.

Block 109 Apartment Building

The project will see a six storey low rise apartment complex built at 7906 - 109 Street NW, Edmonton which will include 61 residential units over an underground parkade. A building permit was issued by the City of Edmonton on September 8, 2025.

I can confirm the current owner is looking at a 'full' conversion of CN Tower to residential in the realm of 340 units.

Development Permit for 344-unit conversion was submitted yesterday, it's official now.

This is one of the best news for DT in a while. Hopefully it can help (and be helped by) Qualico's development plans!

I've always really liked the CN Tower. Is the CN still at the top? Hope it stays

 

[Kosy123]

When CN tower conversion starts running, that brings us to over 900 units underway in downtown.

I think it's safe to say we're finally getting good momentum on residential units, on top of the Student Accelerator and the future Attainable Housing Fund.

I hope they can connect the CN tower to the stationlands boardwalk thing! Maybe even a pub or restaurant??
Just as long as they don't do nothing at all with it, that blank wall sucks.

It depends how much space there is on either side of the door. I remember there were some sort of CRUs nesr the door, but how big they were I don't recall.

hopefully this doesn’t hurt demand for Stationlands tower 2 or the timing of it. 750 units to fill, plus ice district if those ever happen, is a lot for being 2 blocks from the hope mission.

I think that the more residents there are around, the less being two blocks away from the Hope Mission will matter.

Front of the Westin ripped up now.

Gene Dub is proposing a 174-unit student rental building in Boyle Street on 96 Street ('the Armature') south of 103A Avenue across from EPS HQ. Plans on incorporating the facade of the existing brick commercial building:

I'll believe it when it breaks ground, but this would be a great thing to have in the neighborhood (and preserving the façade of that little garage-like building would be an unexpected bonus).

 

[Kosy123]

Did someone wish really hard for residential development proposals in the core? Because we seem to be getting a lottt lately lol

 

[TAS]

Dub indicated he was going to submit a proposal for student housing incentive funding in The Quarters. If he received funding, it would have to start construction in 2026 I believe?

The city has its priority of warehouse district but I sure would love to see this one move ahead somehow some way.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

The Dub proposal would be great as it would either add more people walking down 104 ave or bring a ton more people to the Quarters LRT stop.
