With that many people in the area, maybe we'll see some amenities coming to the area, a restaurant as an example.
You already have the Korean bbq, sorrentinos, Vietnamese place, Starbucks, pizza place and coffee place in the area just south and east of the station. Across 23 ave you add in a few more places. Might be room for some more, a little gastro pub would probably be a nice add.

Here's the text accompnying the post:

"Excited to share a progress update on our latest project in Edmonton, a 293-unit purpose-built rental development with 292 underground parking stalls. As both the precast manufacturer and general contractor, we're leveraging the full power of precast concrete to deliver a building that's not just going up fast, but built to stand the test of time.

These aerial shots capture the structure taking shape, with our precast panels ensuring superior durability, fire resistance, and minimal long-term maintenance. Unlike some quicker assembly methods that might cut corners on quality, precast offers real sustainability: reduced waste on-site, energy-efficient performance, and a lifespan that avoids costly repairs or rebuilds down the road. No worries about mold, pests, or skyrocketing insurance premiums here – just solid, reliable housing that supports communities for generations."
 
Looks, um, prisony, with larger windows.

Why can't developers building decent looking density in this city, with proper massing.

Rohit's Stadium Yards proves it can be done.
I don't love it but if there's one thing I've learned from spending a lot of time in former East Germany, it's that blocky buildings like this can feel nice if they're surrounded by pleasant streets and nice landscaping. Whether that happens here is, uh, to be determined.
 
The one to the left of it is finished though, so we can see what it'll be like when done. Bland, but fine enough.
 
I feel like the natural consequence of people calling buildings like this "bland" is a bunch of other buildings that use a bizarre patchwork of materials and colors in a completely tasteless, undiscerning way. I'd rather have the former than the latter.
Clearly it's possible to make buildings that are both not bland AND not ugly, like the Louvre which is also in Century Park
