They are moving a proposal forward for the former Ice District sales centre on the NWC of 104st/103ave.

Off topic : anyone attend the McCartney concert and was it a sell out. Reviews don’t mention crowd.

Just a quick point regarding the 1970s photo.

A coworker pointed out that the elevation of the photo taken is actually lower than the view that will be from the top of Stantec Tower. And based on what I have seen its pretty close.

Good to know. Hopefully it comes to fruition sooner rather than later.

Airboy · #**11848** Posted **Oct 1, 2018, 9:45 PM**

Stantec Tower

May see the first Move ins next week, no later that the 15th.

We don't have the best fashion shopping, but somehow we are the best dressed in the country.

No. I like this design. That 'L' Tower didn't work out all that well. In fact, it seems like it was quite the cluster.

Boxes are boring.

Less is more my friend. I'd argue that many of those 'boxes' designed 30, 40, 50 years ago using the modernism approach have stood the test of time.

Variety.

Xelebes · #**11854** Posted **Oct 2, 2018, 8:50 PM**

Variety is fine when all you can make of it is a ruin to stroll through.

I like the design, simple and sophisticated. Although I agree Edmonton really does need something curvy and round to come up.

maybe you need to give the westin more love?

or the chateaux lacombe?

s4.audios · #**11857** Posted **Oct 3, 2018, 12:58 AM**

Westin is garbage and forever in my bad books for what it replaced.

Honestly I don't mind the Lacome or Edmonton House, a nice stamp on Edmonton from their era. But yeah something like Lacombe but modern...

Kevin_foster · #**11858** Posted **Oct 3, 2018, 1:37 AM**

What did the Westin replace?

s4.audios · #**11859** Posted **Oct 3, 2018, 1:43 AM**

^see South of the Milner Library.
