So, if they don't change anything, it's going to be a total of ~3100 units developed. Add that to what's currently there + Times Square and in a few years Century Park will be looking at ~5000 units + ~160k sqft of retail space (not counting that Safeway). I don't remember how many it was originally planned to have, but that would be a monumental success in terms of ToD for Edmonton if it actually happens. Just thinkin that this is roughly 9-10k residents in the project area, based on averages for the number of occupants per dwelling, right at an LRT station, gives me joy.

Don’t remember the exact number, but it’s about 300. Floors 2-8 have 38 units each, but the main floor has a little bit less.

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.

If you’re using that picture as reference, it’s not up to date, because it’s 8 floors.

Source: my company is working on this project and I’ve seen the detailed plans.

Interesting so you must have a more accurate count on the number of suites

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."

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.
