I would rather have that than a gravel parking lot.

Europe, many U.S. cities, Japan, etc. would beg to differ - many Downtown cores with primarily mid-rise buildings - 10 storeys would even stick out in some of those (i.e. Scandinavian cities, Washington D.C., etc.).Not everything Downtown needs to be a tower.

This is the correct statement.

^Except that the product in Edmonton is far less inferior to what you find in Washington DC or Scandinavian countries or even outside the core of Amsterdam, etc...

Stadium Yards really having an impact.

^ I'm rally liking how the Muttart lands are developing out. A nicely-scaled TOD imo.

Quite a difference from my visit to Vancouver over the weekend where they are building 50-60 story condo Towers along MetroTown and Brentwood Transit Centers. Amazing construction there.

Two different worlds.

It's because they have nowhere to construct low density housing whereas we have almost infinite land to constuct that on - Vancouver needs to build units somewhere, and the only place is up in the air.

Nice, been waiting for this announcement for awhile now!

If that tower actually gets built as shown, it'll be very prominent in the west end of the city, perhaps the tallest building west of 142 Street.
