A very sincere thank you to MacLab for the tour today of their incredibly impressive project; it's always remarkable how much detail, planning and consideration goes into projects of this scale, size and calibre.

Any idea if there's any immediate interest in their CRU?

Apparently they have a tenant for the CRU mentioned some time back

The Parks - North Tower
This slim, 36-storey high-rise residential rental tower is the first of two at this mixed-use development in downtown Edmonton.

Nothing yet I don't think from speaking with them last week, but I could be wrong.
They are using one of the CRUs for an amenity space (gym) until the connector is built and the other a temporary sales centre.

That gym is temporary? It looks really impressive, so I'm glad they put so much effort into it despite its (hopefully) shorter lifespan.

They want to have the middle building serve the entire development with a larger single centre.

Kind of the brilliance of it. Most of the cost is in the exercise equipment that can be easily relocated. The rest is essentially a shell space + some ceiling lights, cheap plank flooring and painted sheetrock (maybe some wall mirrors also?) so pretty cheap to put together as a temporary solution that looks better than a lot of actual gyms out there.

That makes a ton of sense, I'm really excited to see this play out. What is your personal expectation for when they'll start the next stage? And do you think they'll do the connector or tower 2 first?

If I remember correctly, I think the second tower is supposed to come before the connector?

Second Tower ahead of the 10-storey connector makes construction timeline sense but I would imagine -- considering the unity of foundation and parking garage -- that both the tower and the connector would proceed as one project.

Condo's in the tallest? or are both towers rentals?

The second is a rental tower now according to the website.

Am I the only one who wonders how this tower would look if they had chosen the other colour instead? I kinda feel this cladding ended up a bit too pale.
