How is the final height measured and by who? The final as built drawings will state a measurement - but is there any other method used?

I mean you didn't hear this from Ol' Steve-O but I'm sure if you were curious you could get some empirical measurements using a drone.

Or just email their sales peeps and ask.

how many more floors till this tops out?

 

[northlands]

Think it might be topped out. Looks like they’re working on a mechanical suite rather than another full floor slab

That thing's as tall as my erection for it --- I mean, woah, that's some insane height for the area!

 

[The_Cat]

I think of the CN Tower and Calgary Tower being the only tall structures in the area when they were first built. I'm thinking that this could attract other development.

 

[Clearshades]

According the news, roughly 100k residence are to migrate into the city in the next 3 years, so I can see that plausibility quite favourably. If developers can strategize a tactic to pull some of that median into the market, that could add quite a few towers.

IMO there's 99% chance this "dip" between downtown and Wihwentowin will explode in the next decade with Warehouse Park coming in and this project!

 

[The_Cat]

Edmonton could be a good place to invest in residential construction. I think though, that the construction could be split between Wihkwhentowin, Downtown, and possibly lower density projects across the City (e.g. Muttart Lands, Holyrood).

 

[IanO]

Nowhere to go but up.

But it's honestly remarkable how little is happening given the record migration, but we that know the fundamentals simply aren't there yet.

Chicken and the egg.

I'm excited as anyone else about the influx of people coming here. More people = higher demand for big city amenities and a lot of the people coming here will be expecting/hoping for things they are used to in places like Toronto and Vancouver. BUT I don't expect to see the spillover effect to happen for another couple of years realistically.

It's also important to keep in mind a lot of the people moving here will be young, middle class families that just want to live in a SFH in a quiet neighbourhood far away from the city centre. It's not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind as Edmonton undergoes what arguably could be the most transformative period the city is about to go through this century.
