Great for the area. Still wonder why the podium seems so dark and uninviting. Maybe its the rendering. It will come down to the details.

Hearing that the SDAB hearing for The Wedge had the DOs decision upheld, ie. approved.

Looks like 28-29 floors. Preliminary render does not do much for me.

I still can't believe those towers are in Edmonton. To think I once parked in that big surface lot and said to myself, "I wish something would get built here".

Can you walk over to the North side of Rogers Place on that big empty parking lot and make another wish please.

Isn't that something else. It's remarkable how much has changed in the past 5-7 years really.

EdmTrekker should tell us what he would like to see on the Grandin 2 site.

I'm actually liking that rendering for the Wexford site. Stands out in a good way and like how it clearly looks like a modern tower with a flair of retro to it.

Concur in full. Looks good now, has a retro feel and will age well.

I like it...the design is 7.5 out of 10 for me. But the materials are spot on. Will be a great addition.

Same project, just better exterior finishes - not just painted concrete as per the colour palette shows - and if I may - curtain wall windows.
