Great photos, thanks.

The fox towers should never be directly photographed. Only in back ground shots

Thanks for the article. The data they used is from 2011. Since then condo construction has exploded. Around 2014, condo prices began rising faster than detached properties, for the first time. They're still rising way faster than detached prices.

The bar graph they used (percent of people living in detached vs attached) is even more lopsided now.

Edmonton will never experience that, but I hope people respond to these few condos that are being built right now so more can come in the future. The last time I was in Edmonton, the Pearl was probably the only high rise that offered anything of value. Now there are so many options on the market. Exciting time.

When I relocate to Edmonton again in 2018, if I can recreate 50% of the urban experience of Vancouver, without the negatives of Vancouver, I can finally say I've found my home

Just looked at Encore's pictures/plans.

What a — tower. Inside and out.

[Urban recluse]

Yep; I cannot wait for its completion.

[Coldrsx]

Well.
They are here.
I guess that's a good thing.

That one on the left looks like its taller and wider than the garbage can...is that accurate?

Are there wires, transformers or something that needs protecting inside those —-ugly bases?

Because, just two thin poles would be so much better.

Will this tower fill the hole sitting empty for 3 years in The Quarters?

Lol wow.. that took about forever. And this is the end product? Man I hate talking — about our city, but sometimes... I swear... just... I give up.

Ummm... is that a hat art piece at the podium? Like the Hat condo being built in Calgary? I mean, decent looking building, but do they really plan on making a Calgary doppleganger???

They are rather large and yes, there is some wiring, but not that much.

Indeed. Just had an interview with David. A bit bulky, but lots of glass.
