    Century Park Seniors Tower | 54m | 16s | Eagle Builders | S2 Architecture

    Innovative. Concrete so the senior residents can't easily damage the walls.

    This is the mind set. "Let's just build it as cheap as we can and explain away the complainers."

    Edmonton | The Quarters Hotel and Residences | 280.1m | 80s | Alldritt Land | KENNEDY

    From February 15, 2017 "Some councillors worried the city could increase the height allowed only to see the developer flip the land. But the city could veto any deal under the terms of the land sale, as long as it was not “acting unreasonably.” “Let me make this clear, we will build this...

    Edmonton | The Quarters Hotel and Residences | 280.1m | 80s | Alldritt Land | KENNEDY

    97 Street Bridge

    If only somebody could have asked if the underpass was going to be there forever. It's a perfect example of poor planning and communication between the City and the Province. It's not like somebody had to predict something 100 years down the road. The condition of the underpass is obvious and...

    Edmonton | The Quarters Hotel and Residences | 280.1m | 80s | Alldritt Land | KENNEDY

    An interest bearing trust might have the opposite effect of its intended goal. Instead of encouraging a project to proceed, a developer might delay a project on the grounds that they're receiving interest compensation for not doing anything. So for a developer with projects in different...

    Edmonton | Connect Centre | 56.3m | 16s | ONE Properties | DIALOG

    Calgary will have its new arena ready for the 2028 World Cup of hockey and hockey fans there are livid that they'll host some qualifying games while Edmonton will host the semi finals and final game. Katz evidently was willing to pony up more coin than Edwards on a bid to host the important games.

    97 Street Bridge

    Same here. Get rid of it. It has no practical purpose. The underpass may have some sentimental value for a few people but opening that artery would have a positive impact on mobility and the social barrier that it currently represents.

    City council is seeking more information about removing the long-defunct train overpass on 97th Street. The Chinatown Transformation Collaborative says the community welcomes its removal.

    Edmonton | The Shift | 113.08m | 38s | Edgar | MCM Partnership

    "That's the way it's done in Europe" is code for a project that's been screwed up.

    Regarding Rocky Fucking Mountain House. I had reason to visit Sundre in the early 2010's and the intersection from Hiway 22 into Sundre was perfectly fresh blacktop. Top of the line hi-way. No expense spared on it. I drive down main street a block or two and a couple buildings to the west of...

    Edmonton | Massey Ferguson Building Redevelopment | ?m | 6s | Rise Real Estate | WZMH

    Some building materials such as dimensional lumber and plywood / osb are less expensive in the Edmonton market than elsewhere. Reason being, commodities trade for whatever price a market will bear and Edmonton is close to mills in Grand Prairie and Slave Lake regions. In other words, the mill...

    J.C. That's a lot of money. Has the UPC screwed up that badly or do they want to use the deficit as ammunition to change the transfer payment agreement relationship with Ottawa and the other provinces? Migration into Alberta didn't create those kind of deficit forecasts. Not everybody that...

    It would be the honorable thing to do but I wouldn't put any money on it. They've alienated too many people.
