Another exciting project U/C is the Gilead labs and office in the NE.

(http://manascisaac.com/uploads/manascisaac/portfolio/141/vw_day_filter.jpg)

Gilead Alberta ULC, Gilead’s manufacturing facility in Edmonton, Alberta, handles development and manufacturing of investigational drugs, supplies active pharmaceutical ingredients for clinical research programs and contributes to new product launch supplies. To increase the speed of development of new pharmaceutical products, Gilead Alberta engaged Manasc Isaac to design a new, energy-efficient 3-storey, 6,500 m2 building containing labs and lab support spaces, office space and conference/meeting spaces.

A large Mechanical Penthouse and Basement garage for 30 vehicles provide support service space for the Lab floors. Complete heat recovery from the exhaust air stream of 40 fume hoods and a high-performance building envelope will provide significant annual energy use and cost reductions. The new Lab will be located on a 10-acre site in northeast Edmonton with room for 300 parking stalls, a large-scale chemical loading and storage area and for two future lab buildings of similar size and function.

So this lab is in addition to what they have out there now.

I believe they will be de-commissioning their existing labs once the new complex is complete

A good friend is one of the head chemists out there. They're very excited about the expansion. Especially since a few years ago it looked like they were going to have to move to S.F. to keep a job with the company

'I believe they will be de-commissioning their existing labs once the new complex is complete'

TBD I believe... they are expanding fast and may need more space or retain existing.

Orange tarp is the concrete base for the second crane?

Coldrsx · #**2008** Posted **Apr 4, 2014, 8:13 PM**

That would be my bet.

Black Star · #**2009** Posted **Apr 4, 2014, 8:31 PM**

Mmmmm.... Could be a body!!!

They will stop for nothing

We should be able to steer them in the right direction

Opus $185psf, a little high imo. You'll likely need to rezone as you can get more than 114 units in that size of a building.

Signature tower 3

Airboy · #**2018** Posted **Apr 5, 2014, 3:28 PM**

Based on the oreintation it looks like its on the power centre side, not on the residential side. The way the article in the paper reads its on the other side and will be a greater impact to the residents.

I like it!

Black Star · #**2020** Posted **Apr 5, 2014, 5:51 PM**

Not a fan.

Design: in relation to other 2 buildings. And over all design.

Location: in relation to other 2 buildings.

Orientation: in relation to other 2 buildings.

I do like the increase in density in the area. And the fact they build using quality materials.
