Nice looking proposal!
|
I like how this new proposal contrasts with the Hotel MacDonald. It really helps it pop!
|
I don't follow Edmonton projects well, but I think this is the new design. It was listed as "on the boards" in a presentation last month.

yup
|
Wow.
|
|
Wow! This is fantastic! Calgary and soon to be Edmonton, Canada's design cities!
|
Seems as if they're going for one mixed-use structure.
I do hope this clears the appropriate hurdles. Good on Oiler/EskieTown. |
That's a signature design right there. I'll keep my fingers crossed for its approval.
|
Finally a drop dead sexy design for E-Town... Hope this gets built for sure!
|
|
That would look amazing from south of river.
|
Balance Stantec and the Pearl.
|
Wow this is getting better. I like the direction this has moved.
|
Great proposal Edmonton!! You have so many very good and tall proposals recently.... I suppose and realize these will take years to get approved and then actually get built... but non the less it's good news for Edmonton!
|
So cool!
|
Now that's a tower! Kinda wished both sites adjacent to the hotel got tall slender buildings. The location next to the edge of the cliff means even on lower floors the view would be spectacular!
|
Pre-app for rezoning in.
|
Btw, can someone give me the 411 on the current status of the Aldritt "Urban Balcony" site vs. City plans for park?
|
Great Gulf
Jasper/100st 'park' site - Application to rezone the DC2 from 39 up to 55 storeys, commercial/retail and ~400 residential units, hotel and office. U/G parking facility. |
Looks like a cool development. Is the version posted back in 2016 still the plan?
|
Great news indeed from Great Gulf. Glad to see it move forward...
|
^^nope.
|
I don't have a dog in the Calgary vs Edmonton rivalry, but it is striking that not long ago there was a perception that Calgary was just running away from Edmonton. Not any more!
|
Would be interesting if things came full circle. I remember when Edmonton was clearly top dog in Alberta.
|
Not to stoke the fires of the rivalry again between the cities BUUUUUUTTTT,
Edmonton by far has a more sustainable and robust economy if only because it was never fully dominated by one industry the way that Calgary continues to live and die on a single resource that is increasingly irrelevant to the global economy... Not exactly a solid economic foundation on which to build a house never mind an empire on. Having said that, Edmonton is still dependent on O&G to keep all its other industries afloat so... yeah... If I was to encourage people to invest in Alberta (which I always will since I think it's probably the best long-term market that has yet to peak) I will say Edmonton is for Tortoises and Calgary is for Hares. If you can handle the crazy high-risk high reward pace of Cow-town, god bless. Otherwise, the very chill, laid-back friendly-ish vibes of Edmonton are certainly my speed. Then again, I'd consider Edmonton more of a chill, place by date but rather hard-core by night... So, sexy librarian? ;) |
The revised design and site plan is very nicely done.
|
Deets? Smaller? Taller? Timeline?
|
Not twisting, but still a very modern, slim tower. Up to 55 floors or so, which means a little lower than what you saw last.
They are moving the re-zoning forward and given the location I have to think that it would be very well received by purchasers. |

Another 650 footer!
|
|
It's........ OK. A nice under-stated Telus Sky like infill project if it goes ahead which I hope it does. It's just not nearly as daring as the last version which is a bit of a downer... Still good though...

The controversial 9955 Jasper Avenue at 53-55 storeys, mostly residential. Public open house tomorrow....curious to see what the comments are.

While the Committee appreciates the Applicant’s approach to locating and siting the
building to create an outdoor plaza and maintain view corridors to the Hotel MacDonald, Edmonton Design Committee Minutes April 30, 2019 3 the Committee recommends the Applicant continue to work with Administration to provide greater detail in the design regulations and the appended landscape plan with regard to the plaza; specifically: ● The identification and preservation of view corridors through the space and to the Hotel MacDonald ● The creation of appropriate transitions (ie. spatial quality, materiality, access and movement) to adjacent buildings and open spaces, including the Hotel MacDonald, 100 Street and Jasper Avenue ● The proposed materiality of the plaza ● The identification of year round use and programming features (including but not limited to public art, lighting and related infrastructure to support outdoor activities) ● The creation of the shared space, integrating roadway access into the plaza space, with priority given to pedestrian access and safety. The Committee notes that many of the above items have been referenced in the ‘Response to Urban Design Principles’, but not integrated into the DC regulation or appended Site / Landscape Plan. |
Heads to council very soon.
