EDMONTON | Kelly Ramsey| ~130m | 30 floors

An arson led to 2 historic buildings to be damaged beyond repair internally. This proposal will retain the facades and include a 4 storey podium/lobby/office/retail with a 12 storey hotel above and 14 storeys of office above that smack dab in the middle of Edmonton's CBD.
