They are out for tender for their University project if I'm not mistaken, which looks to be quite outstanding. Diamond Schmitt is the architect on that project.

They are also moving fast on Jasper-108 with Pangman/Day running with it.

I guess your definition of moving fast excludes any form of site activity lol as there is zero happening as of an hour ago on my drive past.

I am aware. But my comment is they have not built a tower since you were born is fact. My next comment is they have little to offer any active developer partner other than a share of get-go capital assuming they have it.

Dry powder cannot be understated these days.

This cladding is going to be interesting...I'm a little worried.

Coldrsx · #**14588** Posted **Dec 30, 2019, 11:01 PM**

I have seen a test section, metal panel, Hendrix-ish.

Yea, that's kind of what I was thinking.
That could either turn out okay or really really bad like Peregrime Point.

There's not good or great really possible in my mind, but I'd like to be surprised.

And why he is worried. Hendrix panel is on the cheap and nasty looking.

Do you understand what 'tendering' means? I take it that you don't with the response you posted. Gaaah, I'll circle back on this one in a few months time.

I don't. I see the wall section and from that I have an idea of what will be installed.

M-E-H. Just like the outside. Just like the "visionaries" at City Hall behind it. Absolutely hating the lazy IMAGINE screamed at us. Just as hackey as DREAM outside of Hall D at Shaw, excuse me, Edmonton Conference Centre...

it is the new year after-all - maybe we should still be hopeful that the pictures don't do the overall interiors justice because without that i would have to agree with you.

on the other hand, maybe that IMAGINE isn't as lazy as you accuse it of being? maybe we're supposed to imagine what this building could have looked like with a bit more attention paid to what it looks like?

you know - in the same we can DREAM about what that stretch of jasper avenue could have looked like with a bit more attention paid to what it looks like?

you would think we would only make a mistake like that once.

Learning from mistakes is a decidedly un-Albertan concept as you know..

Agree.....

I see a bunch of interior photos in that article that offer absolutely no context to their surroundings. It's like taking a picture of a living room but only showing the fireplace.
