What's being constructed east of Kingsway Mall and north of Rotten Ronnies?

Went by on my bike again today and although I still think it could have obviously been done a little better, I’m liking it more. Considering this was an ugly furniture warehouse adding absolutely nothing to this area, this is a 100% better use of the space. And I’m not sure why anyone would prefer the Identical boring glass and stucco boxes that 99% of new Commercial spaces are. Even though I would prefer more realistic and varied frontages you also have to realize they were working within an existing structure... I just hope they stick to their word about taking the tenant mix seriously and we don’t end up with payday loans, potshot, dentist, and subway.

I like big shiny buildings as much as anyone else on this site, but it’s a little bit sad how obsessed many people are with how Edmonton is perceived by outsiders rather than just building a liveable diverse city.

Took a walk through downtown for the first time in months. Decided to walk by Venetian and Panache. Venetian is older than Panache and while the Venetian has an absolutely quaint design on the exterior and the Panache is more modern, it looks like the construction of the Venetian is more robust than the Panache. We will see how the two buildings proceed in the next decade.

I get the anti faux historic sentiment (mishmash of Netherlands etc), but like you said better than an ugly blue warehouse.
If they can get the tenant mix to be like a brew pub, nice sit down and fast casual food establishments instead of dollar store/nail salon/money mart then it could turn out decent.

Nice to see some money spent on construction.
