Eeeee-ouch.

^ Considering the new supply that keeps pouring into the Edmonton market, these are decent numbers in the midst of a long recession.....

Crews were working on the Westblock site this week. A couple of loads of heavy timber were delivered.

I am impressed that the developer is proceeding with such a remarkable development in this area. It will be quite impressive.

and that's without the new hyatt or mariott.. of course those would be citywide numbers, so understandable with O&G hotel use plummeting in recent years.

Curious as to what was going on in May though? It's not only the busiest month by a long shot, but a good bit busier than the prior year..

steel for the pedway between JW and Stantec is going up.

That JW tower is looking great! kind of like a mini Brookfield with those rounded corners.

Mini Brookfield? JW is almost 200 meters.

Sorry, but hard to see with the raindrops

Here's one in St Albert that is taking forever. Originally was a Lions Senior facility now it has a new owner and new life. The foundation took about a year to get to this point. Being on a flood plane and all. I know when we did an addition at the mall a short distance away, the pilings went down 75' and it was pure mud that deep. What I do find interesting is the use of the insulated forms for the foundation.

Just a few years back I got myself a hard tail mountain bike to try out the trails I've been hearing so much about in this city. I haven't ridden a bike since I was a kid, and could say was one of the best choices I've ever done. This city truly is amazing for trails.

the river valley trails are one of the absolute best things about Edmonton!
