You're talking three distinct locations/buildings. The Tegler was demolished for the BOM building. The CCB building (don't recall if it even has a name right now) is kitty-corner southwest of the Sutton Place Hotel. ING building was originally bannered with M.E. LePage, iirc.
The "CCB" was the "Canadian Commercial Bank", not the "Continental Bank" (as I mentioned). CCB became "Canada Trust" tower for a while and was recently the "Bell" tower I believe.
The shorter & longer "ING" building was the "Continental Bank" building when it was built (I think - but that is going back a while).
Anyway, just wanted to clarify - sorry for driving you to drink Cold (by bringing up the Tegler).
Thanks for the info guys.
"and now back to regular programming.:

St. Albert eco city is green from ground up

135-hectare project to serve as giant experiment in clean technology

By Dave Cooper, Edmonton JournalJanuary 17, 2010 8:14 AMComments (3)



What's being described as North America's largest eco city is planned on newly annexed land in St. Albert, a $1.8-billion project for 6,000 residents designed to be a living laboratory for green technology.

Drove by Edmonton Clinic N/S yesterday and the South is far larger than i thought. You can actually see it driving west on Whyte.

As for the north, I don't mind the spandrel rainbow but wished that they had done more of a seasonal design going from spring (light blue/green) to summer (yellow) to fall (red/orange) to winter (dark blue.

from 'garneau 100' at C2E re: whyte safeway redevelopment...

"According to staff at the store the current plan is to build Canada's largest Safeway on the site, with a high-rise residential component included. Whoever is involved there would be smart to get buy-in from the community right from the start of the process."

With regard to the annexation there was mention of approving an annexation area in last weeks local paper. Was this the new development area, I can't say. But the area mention in the article is also the same area that has been in the Gazette articles the last few months. That and Council is currently changing the municipal development plan from smart growth to sustainable growth.

"Sustainable Growth" - The City of St. Albert
Shall develop a hybrid set of general guidelines dealing with the design of sustainable neighbourhoods within a winter city.
From the council minutes.


But like all municipal councils, we can only hope they do the right thing.

^ In all seriousness, I am a fan of annexation. It would be cool to create/adopt a distinct french community in Edmonton. Perhaps we could crib off of New Orleans a bit and call it the French Quarter

Not that St. Albert is distinctly french, just a few of the streets are named rue this and rue that. I feel superior driving amongst the giant SUV's on my way to a starbucks in a parking lot.

Oh, wait

Humor aside, St. Albert has a few unique communities and a developable downtown that merging with Edmonton could only benefit everyone (cough LRT cough)

SHHHHHH don't let this get out or tell any one that knows me. As a long time resident of St Al and a former employee of the city, I would vote for annexation as long as Sherwood Park is included. E needs the industrial taxes.

I promote E as much as I can.

Like all residents of the GEA I first identify myself as a person from Edmonton while on foreign soil. Only when that other person is from Alberta do I specify St Al.

Hell Edmonton is slowly surrounding us.

And for you Starbucks coffee creatons. There are 6 in town.

And my street was ploughed last week. But I pay the taxes.
