It's 49 West by Beljan. The DP slightly deviates from what's shown in the DC2 appendices but it'll be a nice building.

F&F Holdings has applied to rezone a narrow parcel of land downtown located west of 109 Street between 99 Avenue and the alleyway south of Jasper Avenue. The current zoning allows for buildings on the property to be as tall as 20 metres, or about four storeys. The applicant wants to increase the maximum height on the parcel north of 100 Avenue to 70 metres, or about 20 storeys, and the maximum height south of 100 Avenue to 50 metres, or about 15 storeys. These heights are the same as those allowed on the lots across 109 Street. Some nearby residents oppose the rezoning. They said buildings this tall will reduce privacy, views, and sunlight, and that more density will increase traffic congestion. Council is scheduled to debate the rezoning at a public hearing on Aug. 19.

A little 'heavy', but pretty good overall and I absolutely love how that corner is finally getting some density. 76 Avenue has the potential to add even more and perhaps a little more neighbourhood commercial.

Yup, 100% the perfect place for density adjacent to an LRT station. Cue the Belgravia residents complaining about 'traffic, parking, crime' etc etc.

Because many local developers are cheap and do not have high design standards. Thankfully, we have the EDC that will hopefully require a comprehensive redesign.

Coldrsx · #**689** Posted **Aug 19, 2024, 4:37 PM**

^it really doesn't need a re-design, but better materials and palette.

I know that's a massing rending, but WTF. Even the massing is a fucking mess. In this day and age, Edmonton? COME ON!

I bet you that rendering is 15 years old, the actual design will look much more refined and 'current' I reckon.

It's massing...who cares!

Bingo. Don't read into anything or use that to guide what will in fact be built.

Avenuer on SRC has an update on Shift by Edgar - 'Yup, looking to rezone to allow 10 storeys, mixed-use with townhouses at grade and commercial uses as well to interface better with Warehouse Park.'

Aw that's a shame. Not the greatest MCM design, but a loss none-the-less.
