Rezoning

The proposed rezoning is for two sites. The first, on 109 Street NW, is from a Site Specific Development Control Provision (DC2.528-Area A) to the Low Intensity Business Zone (CB1) with the Main Streets Overlay. The purpose of the CB1 Zone with the Main Streets Overlay is to provide for low intensity commercial, office and service uses that encourage and strengthen the pedestrian-oriented character of Edmonton’s main street commercial areas that are located in proximity to residential and transit-oriented areas, by providing visual interest, transparent storefront displays, and amenities for pedestrians.

The second site, on 108A Street NW, is proposed to change from two Site Specific Development Control Provisions (DC2.128 & DC2.528-Area B) and the Low-Rise Apartment Zone (RA7) to a new Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2). The proposed DC2 Provision would allow for a residential high-rise building with the following characteristics:

A maximum height of 70 - 75 metres (approximately 22 - 25 storeys);
A maximum floor area ratio of 10.0;
Up to 271 dwellings (including at least eleven with 3 bedrooms);
A tower floor plate of 855 square metres;
Townhouse style dwellings at the ground level facing 108A Street NW and the lane to the north; and
Underground and enclosed surface parking accessed from the lane to the west.
Plan Amendment

There is an associated application to amend the Garneau Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP)(External link) to revise policies and maps that effectively limit development on the 108A Street NW site to 4 storeys Policy 2.2a currently directs high rise development to the north of the rail right-of-way along Saskatchewan Drive only. The proposed amendment would allow a tower to be built on the 108A Street site.

This is Beljan's project I believe. Would be their largest to date if it breaks ground.

Sure will. Plenty of work to go, but we're getting there.

[Clearshades]

I hope the 'Hive' is a go. Nice design in an area that also needs a freshener.

The View and CX.

Augustana getting very close. Light fixtures are up in the lobby, appliances in.

Pretty close to being done with the major concrete works. They will be picking away at that thing for close to another year before it is done-done.

that's okay - it's not as if i had to go very far to take it (i could have taken it from my desk.



on the other hand, i suppose i could have taken it outside from the 4th floor balcony and it would have been a crisper shot than through the curtainwall. maybe this afternoon if i'm up to it and the light's decent.

its exclusive use comes with the 4th floor which we'd be happy to rent to you at a very fair price.





or to let you take pictures from at your convenience until such time as it's rented to someone else.

Have they just started working on the bike/pedestrian path under the bridge?

That last bit, I may take you up on. As for the first bit, Managment may not aprove.

I did have access to the Stantec patio when I was there. But only a couple of us could access it as it wasn't officially opened.
