Had coffee with the developer a few weeks ago and we chatted about that. It's a ways off, they have an option on a property in the core they're likely going to move on first
^ not sure if Day is involved in this particular one
On another interesting note, Hines, who will manage KR are working with Northlands on basically a whole site redevelopment. The plans that'll come out shortly should be very interesting
That 108 St. proposal would encompass the El Mirador if I'm reading that right? That's kinda too bad, I like the quirky, out-of-place-iness of those apartments.

El Mirador and the Patricia Annex.
Discussions will be needed on this, for they are excellent examples of courtyard housing and incredibly unique.
I'm not to sure about this one. I've always like El Mirador...maybe just because there isn't anything like it around here. It's one of those weird quirky places with non tangible qualities that once lost can never be recreated. Every time I walk by I think I'm in some Bukowski novel.
As for a view of the mountains from the top of Stantec tower, I don't think so. Curvature of the earth and all. I've been able to see the on some clear days around Sylvan Lake. I noticed a great view of them on Highway 753 between Lodgepole and Cynthia in September while riding out there.
Just before you 'kiss the cod' on a schooner off the coast of Newfoundland they like to tell tourists that on a clear day you can see Ireland
Yes, other than the proposed massing, I imagine the loss of El Mirador will be a significant issue for some.
You sound like it's a done deal. I am sure that something will be worked out with the developer to save it or incorporate it into the development somehow.
Knoxvilles getting ripped to the ground will be a happy day for me. Just walking near it is a horribly trashy experience...
It is so incredibly sad that Edmonton has so little to save that you guys get sentimental for 🞵🞵🞵🞵 like the mirador... My god that's sad. It's getting super repetitive and old quickly. "Oh, there tearing down slightly old, obscure building that has mild architectural interest but can be found in great supply elsewhere in North America... In this case probably in some 🞵🞵🞵🞵 town in New Mexico. It must be saved!"
I haven't been in Edmonton for a little under a month again, but last I saw Hendrix it is much better in person. You can't see the materials properly in photograph.
