Some interesting details on the east side.

I don't think I've ever seen a building with cladding like this - 3 different types/colours/patterns? The renderings are different than what's going on here so I'm interested to see how this looks fully finished. Not sure I like. Certainly glad for this project, though.

I also was by Whyte today.

That podium has potential to really change the pedestrian traffic for the better in this area.

That's a whole lot of retail space to lease.....

I could see a large supermarket in that podium. Maybe Save-On Foods or No Frills can relocate here? Or how about a new location for T&T?

Italian Bakery's Mercado would be a great fit here.

This Avenue needs to be narrowed. A large patio area on the south side, and the addition of trees would be worth it.

Yes, there is actually a whole commercial/retail area here south of Whyte Ave to 79 Avenue, but currently many people just stick to Whyte Ave. With the area being more filled in, this could change.

Neither have the density or footfall to do much at the moment.

The photo isn't the sharpest, but you can even see this one from Victoria Promenade (here, towards the left)

Potential yes, but it could be like the other Hats and too costly so sits empty. Shiny and useless.

Hope I am wrong.

^ What a sparkling positive attitude!

Do any of the Hats have a single commercial tenant? Love the look of the buildings, but depending on them to generate street level activity is so far wishful thinking. Like I said, hope they prove me wrong.

I find Cidex rentals to be overpriced. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case with their CRUs.
