Any word on when the shovels go in the ground for the museum? I see a lot of fencing around the post office.

Well, I'll take this over the proposed building. At least at this stage one could have a faint hope of something better being built, rather than being confirmed that something tragic is being built.

Multi-family building on rise in city
Starts up 54 per cent over 2012, most growth in new suburbs

Bill Mah
Edmonton Journal

Tuesday, May 28, 2013

After years of being overshadowed by the single-detached market, multi-family housing is back in vogue with Edmonton-region builders and homebuyers.

The first three months of 2013 have seen multiple-family starts soar by 54 per cent over the first quarter of last year, to 1,724 units.

The trend shows no sign of slowing either, as permit applications for new multifamily buildings have shot up by 92 per cent in the first three months of 2013 over the same period last year...

/\ Very true article. I serviced far more duplex and row homes in my subdivisions than single family homes.

Edmonton's got a hungry entry level market and a huge rental market.. so that makes sense.

Sort-of depends on which subdivision you look at though.

Watch for the multi-fam rental go hard... many condo developers are looking at it at the moment.

You can see my office from the second render! Would make my commute to work even shorter if I got in there.
