Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.
No...No not any high rise is a good thing in Edmonton lol. But this is a pretty good proposal. And 2 blocks away will be 102st Center. Not to forget 6 blocks away will be the arena district and possibly Station Lands part deux.
Any comment by someone should be respected and is a good thing!

The best part about the KR proposal in Edmonton is that it is literally dead centre of the CBD/arts district/hotel area.
It will add an innumerable amount of people and activity to a bit of a dead zone currently.

University City III and IV in Calgary. I and II are significantly taller and already topped out with most of the cladding already up on Tower I and about 1/3 the way up on Tower II. It's a massive TOD across Highway 1A from the University of Calgary, on the C-train's 201 Northwest Line.

Wow, 481 University is simply a catastrophe. It needs a complete ground up redesign IMO.
I'm liking the new E condos, hopefully they have more luck selling them than they have had so far. I doubt we'll be seeing this one going up any time in the near future though.
I understand why many of you don't like this building so far. I think we should wait for more details though. I'm really curious to see what type of cladding they're using on this one. It looks interesting. It looks like a tall Mars 2 and actually blends in well with the 50's era offices around it. The one thing I am 100% happy about is that they aren't just tearing down the building that's currently on the corner or the deco building just to the east. The design works fine with the building in the foreground but does fail where it meets up with the deco building.
No... why would there be? It's always been proposed as a short office along with a 110 meter residential and 165 meter residential.

This is my first time seeing this thread. Very nice! I noticed there aren't any Ottawa projects. Here are a few projects under construction in Ottawa-Gatineau:
