^Curious as well. I think it is just plotted in the parking lots just north of the liquor store, and doesn't take out the safeway either.

Nope. This is the united church site on the NE side of that intersection. It was just for sale recently.

Got excited and thought it was on the west side of 109th street.

I actually like the look of that church.

that corner of the main floor is being reconfigured to accommodate the restaurant construction. and yes, that has taken longer than anyone anticipated or wanted.

Darn, was really hoping that ugly ass Safeway site had some work finally started.

The only thing remotely nice about that church is that middle window. It is an eye sore that has aged poorly. Will be a very good change for the community.

^interesting that the "but what about parking" brigade wasn't out against this.
More affordable housing is sorely needed so more of these projects are welcome.

EPCOR Tower is a good looking building, IMO.

Whenever I've seen a rendering similar to that, they always seem to use those cheap panels, and they always look terrible. There's quite a few in Calgary and I've even seen a few in Vancouver.

Moi aussi.

That said, the project looks promising indeed.

That looks like something FEMA would throw up to temporarily house hurricane victims.

Agreed, it is unique and has some architectural merit. It's frustrating to see it go when there are so many empty parking lots crying for development.

Ambitious $40M expansion set to start at Edmonton's Telus World of Science

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/a...onton-s-telus-world-of-science-1.4267651

Quote:
The Margaret Ziedler Star Theatre is about to become one of the best of its kind in the world.

The theatre in Edmonton's Telus World of Science plans to replace its aging projectors and screen with the latest state-of-the-art 10K technology.

It's all part of a $40-million expansion project officially unveiled Tuesday by science centre president and CEO Alan Nursall.

"The Aurora project is all about making sure our infrastructure is stable and solid and our science experiences are challenging, engaging and inspirational, and meet the demands of our growing city," said Nursall.

In 2016, the science centre drew more than 500,000 visitors.
The 20,000-sq.-foot expansion will allow the centre to incorporate more science, interactivity and innovation than ever before, Nursall said.
Work on the theatre begins next week. People who have never seen a laser light show there will have one last chance during the final shows this weekend.
