This will tower over all the nearby buildings and you will not have to be very high up to have unobstructed views in several directions.

This tower already has an insane presence in the area. Driving on Jasper approaching 109 and this thing is imposing.

In contrast to the trepidation by Edgar's adjacent Shift towers, was there something unique at play that made this go-ahead ? Or are we really just talking different decision makers with different options available.
I'm curious why such a big building is going ahead while comments on that thread point to a lack of demand and economics.

Pot committed? Need to place capital in something ready to go?
Keep in mind that Shift was meant to be condos initially, or at least one of the towers... not to mention where interest rates have gone since then.

So many factors, certainly has to do with what else they have for projects, timing, first in the ground. I do think an argument could me made this project as things stand now is better situated close to 109 street & Jasper amenities.

I've never had so much anticipation to see the cladding on a building in my life. I'm super curious to see what the exterior is going to end up looking like.

I find it odd that some greatly opposed the Falcon's but seam alright with the limited windows and possibly dull (will hold judgment till revealed) exterior.

The Windows here are fine. The area with limited windows is primarily abutting the other tower's super high podium which is somewhere 13 floors.
As per Falcon, it is a reshaped Icons with slightly better and symmetrical windows; as well as panelings with decorative trims. The dull white material is what is causing the lack of excitement. It is not a disaster but hugely disappointing for such a prominent location.
