Thanks to Feepa and ue for the LRT updates... The LRT section will be updated shortly.

Very busy with a new job and haven`t been keeping track of all the latest proposals... send me what`s up & if you`ve got pix PM me and I`ll send you my e-mail

Cheers guys.... things are looking up for E-Town!

[Xelebes]

Thread numero eleven begins!

[hqcan]

great stuff...Arena design to go up (when it's complete?). Maybe a placeholder until then

[ue]

Glad you got the PM.

Some other things:

- AHD NW is now complete
- 122 St/Jasper development: no renders released, but you could mention Canadian Western Bank and the proposed (rumoured?) mixed use development with John Day
- Capital Blvd revitalization: http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/planning_development/capital-boulevard.aspx
- Boyle Street Renaissance & Phase II:

http://archatb.com/?page_id=347
http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/Community_Ctr_YMCA__render_aerial.pdf
- maybe move Mayfair and the Pearl up to the top of "Mixed Use" so that the under construction stuff is first and foremost
- whatever happened to that proposed revitalization of the Grandin Mall in St. Albert with those nice looking condos? Not sure if info is available on that still, but if so, that would be cool to add to the list.
-Station Pointe/Ft. Road TOD http://www.stationpointegreens.ca/
- and the BIG one: Manulife II - THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED!

161 M ish (Coldrsx estimates) and by AIMCo

[s211]

So much proposed res, and seemingly little under construction? Developers can't get financing, or is demand not perceived?

[Hallsy's Toupee]

There is stuff happening. I drove down Jasper Ave last night and the entire north block between 122 - 123 St is now fenced off.

[etown]

240,
Thanks for putting this all together/keeping it updated. It is always a nice reminder of the projects that are in the works.

[Kevin_foster]

thanks 240!

Some more things 240:

- Your links to the BKA website still go to the old BZKA site, the new site is: bkarchitecture.com
- Windermere Community of Care:

Yeah, it's strange the glut of approved and proposed that just haven't gone anywhere (although a few are).

[Hallsy's Toupee]

Actually, shouldn't the thread title be fixed? 2011-11 means that the thread will only last for another month and a half!

[ue]

^Huh? It just goes by the date the thread was made. This thread should last through all of 2012. This thread was made on the 11th month in 2011, the previous one was made on the 1st month of 2010 (yet continued past 2010).

[CMD UW]

Speaking of Parkwood Tower, it looks like they are going to install marketing signage as they have put up two large posts on site.

I also noticed that Papa John's is taking up the retail bay next to MRKT.

Yuup, and I agree.

[Xelebes]

Edited thread title for ease of understanding. Hope no one minds.

[240glt]

^ Coolio.

Thanks guys, I will be updating the page over the next few days. ue, thanks for the info, keep 'em coming (I think I have Parkwood in there, but not the latest pic) Cold/Excal, am I free to post that Manu2 render on the front page ?

[Coldrsx]

^sure, why not.

Re: Holiday Inn Gateway Hotel

You can stick a fork in that one. It's done. There was a "coming soon" Holiday Inn sign on the site earlier this summer, but it has now been covered over with "free breakfast 7 km" and the Holiday Inn logo. I think the conversion of the Greenwood to a Holiday Inn is a factor. Too bad because I really want to see that old Husky lot developed.
