Edmonton | Quarters Hotel & Residences | 280m | 7X+ FLOORS

New renderings are out for a very perplexing proposal on the east side of Downtown Edmonton.

There are MANY opinions, predictions and folks suggesting that this will 'never' be built, but here we are.

Perched on the top of bank, this would be quite spectacular and an oddity at the same time.

I am not convinced the market would support this and have heard that the foundation/structure would be upwards of 30% of the overall project costs which with my quick math seems to say this isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.
