I think they look good, fitting for the area.

I hope they build them properly. Pretty much every other one of the similar type developments down there have had waterproofing issues

Really excited about this project and hopefully a few more along that block.

I'd be happy to see better renderings to be proven wrong.

Or wait for the final steaming dump on the site and then we can talk again.

OR... am I honestly missing something here that negates all the "nope" I see?

Awesome photos. Really nice to see Edmonton modernizing.

Interesting to see that the buildings are still running their red lights up top, with the municipal airport closed now. I note in some cities that they don't have/require lights like that if the buildings are not near any flightpaths.

The cranes also have red lights. Is this a City requirement?

Kevin_foster · #**10391** Posted **Apr 22, 2018, 2:35 AM**

I would think thats a requirement regardless of an airstrip.

Police Helicopters, Medi Helicopters, Rouge Airplanes, people jumping out of flying buses, etc.

For downtown Edmonton specifically, or all cities? Just curious, as I don't recall seeing them often in downtown Vancouver.

it covers the entire country which includes transmission lines over rivers and communication towers and monuments as well as buildings. it’s been a while since i read it but there is quite a hierarchy to it if i recall.

^That there is. I had to apply for a single light in Slave Lake once.

Interesting. Just seems odd how DT Vancouver's largely not in the loop (but that could be said about a LOT of things these days...).

SpongeG · #**10398** Posted **Apr 22, 2018, 7:47 PM**

there's a few in Vancouver. Considering all the harbour planes though...

Edmonton is looking good, nice to see some more height

The public realm in Kelowna can teach us a thing or three.

Do downtown Kelowna businesses pay higher levies?
