I really like that Habitatty one. Not nuts about the blank sides, but the design is interesting enough that it's O.K. This would look REALLY good as part of a dense canyon of skyscrapers.

Eventually, Edmonton will probably have a really tall wall of towers along the edge of the slope down to the river valley. That will look really badass.

Glad to see downtown Edmonton starting to boom, the city centre up there was getting a little stagnant. Great looking proposals that should really start to revitalize the area.

^only 4.2 billion on the books for downtown Edmonton...

Chadillaccc · #**7664** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 5:41 PM**

Is that a lot? Sounds like a lot.

Coldrsx · #**7665** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 5:45 PM**

^it is a stagering amount.

Chadillaccc · #**7666** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 5:53 PM**

Oh, well perfect then!!!

How much of that is UC already? Probably 1/4? With another 1/4 of it to start within the next 6 months or so?

Calgarian · #**7667** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 5:54 PM**

Wow, go E-town!

Maybe 1/5th to 1/4 with another 1/4 by spring 2014.

RAM - $300mil
Fed - $300mil
Arena - $480mil + misc = 600mil
Kelly Ramsey - $250mil
fox - $100mil
Ultima - $60mil
MacEwan fine arts - 90mil
Norquest - $160mil
etc

Plus up to 850 million on the arts project. This will likely be a go in the next year or two.

Coldrsx · #**7670** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 8:42 PM**

Here is the report... 4.8 Billion my mistake.

I'd suppose I could put this here...

Word is out that Tim Hortons is moving out of it's current headquarter in Oakville. They want to consolidate about 700 employees into one main building. Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton are all going to be fighting to get the headquarter.

Hamilton needs a Tim's Tower. 2015 will be Tim Horton's 50th anniversary so we may hear by then where the new HQ will be.

SignalHillHiker · #**7672** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 1:03 PM**

Hamilton would be the more prestigious of the three, right?

SteelTown · #**7673** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 1:11 PM**

Yes, home of the Tim Hortons Field, Ron Joyce Stadium, first Tim Hortons, home of the coffee roasting plant, etc.

caltrane74 · #**7674** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 1:28 PM**

Will the Oakville Snob Crew want to work in Hamilton?

Thankfully for Hamilton they won't be the ones making the call.

SteelTown · #**7675** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 1:31 PM**

By 2015 Hamilton will have better GO Transit service. The James St N station will be built.

With Schneiders and its 1,200 jobs moving from Kitchener to Hamilton, maybe Timmies should have a look at K-W. Seems fair, no?

SteelTown · #**7677** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 1:35 PM**

Yea that's another company Hamilton has been scoring great lately, Maple Leaf, Canada Bread and the Maple Leaf meat processing plant.

LeftCoaster · #**7678** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 2:30 PM**

I doubt THI is looking for office space in a tower. I bet they will likely end up in a low to midrise suburban location.

Martin Mtl · #**7679** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 2:58 PM**

Question for you Leftcoaster: is there a render somewhere of Tour des Canadiens at 50 storeys that you could put up here ? Or maybe they didn't bother to change the render with only two more storeys ?

Chadillaccc · #**7680** Posted **Jul 23, 2013, 6:46 PM**

Hopefully Timmies breaks the suburban mold and chooses to build a new tower, even a midrise in downtown.
