Hudson would be a good bet, considering the relatively strong momentum for residential that is building up in DT.

I asked one of the CEOs yesterday and he said that they're moving forward on Grandin 4 next. They have some other projects in the pipeline in Belgravia and Windsor Park as well, but no mention of The Hudson unfortunately.
 
G4 is the one on 113 street and 100 Ave.
It was approved for 6 storeys but now they are looking to make it up to 18 storeys according to the rezoning sign on site.

Not sure if that has been approved or not.

It will be nice to have something near the B/M LRT stop.

Hudson is complicated due to ownership of the parkade and so I could see that taking time.

Their product looks nice from the outside and is good for Edmonton's skyline. But become a buyer of a Westrich property and anyone saying "they do good work" will get your blood boiling.

Lol true, I have a friend that worked on the electrical at Encore and he said the build quality of the units was...subpar, especially considering the purchase prices Westrich charged.
 
As I understand it, their Windsor Park project is directly east across the street from the elementary school. And directly north of Windsor Terrace. I hope the design ends up a bit closer to Encore than the gooch special university heights.

Keep in mind those were their earlier towers. I believe they do all construction in house. They are gaining more experience on every project.

All Construction Management, yes. But the work is still determined by Westrich's design and subcontracted out.
The quality has gotten better from their previous products (i.e. Ultima), but has a long way to go.
 
I would wager the problems that Westrich’s projects have faced have been more on the construction management side verses design side. It’s so based upon relationships between your project team and your subs/suppliers. There are going to be a lot of growing pains in this regard with a newer company, but also as cost overruns inevitably begin to occur, it becomes more opportune to lowball/cheapen out with your materials and subs, creating substandard product.

There is a reason only a select few developers here do construction management in-house despite the cost.
