Mayfair 2 went back to EDC on the 23rd I believe. I doubt they'll just hack 6 floors off and call it a day. I'd expect a redesign for sure.
Beth Shalom looks good too. That end of Oliver is going to look a lot different in a couple years.

I'm personally really saddened to hear that Mayfair North might be downsized to this degree, particularly for the lack (tho not complete loss) of density at such a prominent intersection of DT. It frustrates me at a time when the city is trying to bolster support for an increased focus of downtown's role to the city that we allow such changes to take effect with little consequence.
I understand that there are multiple elements to be concerned about when considering the reasonings for altering the initial plan - but I personally feel that for a project of such prominence on the corner of Jasper and 109th, that the developer should be held at least somewhat accountable for delivering on what they originally have proposed.
Mayfair South went ahead with a portion of it's funding from multiple levels of government - I am left wondering why they were not fully committed to fulfilling the remainder of the project at the time that deal was made. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth not only at Procura, but also at the City of Edmonton for not willingly looking out for the city's best long-term interests at heart.
Please pardon my post if I'm not privy to specific information, but from what information I have available to me I'm just left disappointed considering what was being presented to the general public as a done deal.
