Some of the criticism of this tower even from councillors who voted in support was that one of the primary materials proposed for this tower will be stucco - comparable to the Falcon/Fox towers on 104st.
Councillors were mostly in agreement that given the prominent location of this tower they would like to see higher quality materials.

This will be an exciting tower with a great developer

So this is likely to go ahead in the next year or two?

It's difficult to read the comments from some in that article.

Literally heard multiple people that live in The Pearl complain about this proposal.

Can’t imagine a bigger form of hypocrisy.

31-storey mixed-use tower to be built on Jasper Avenue, 100 Avenue

A developer has been given the first necessary green light to turn a parking lot with views of the North Saskatchewan River valley and Victoria Promenade in downtown Edmonton into a high-rise tower.

Stucco/EIFS should not be permitted for high-rise towers and will lead to significant issues at a rate higher than other cladding/wall options.

I must admit some surprise that stucco/EFIS is still allowed. I don't recall; is the site owned by a merchant developer?

My friend, if you cannot correlate the dangers of chemtrails to this development then all hope is lost.

Hopefully Maclab hires a great architect for this site as the tower will be highly visible.

This block is really becoming a nucleus for development along Jasper. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple more tower proposals appear in the new few years on nearby lots.

123/124st needs to fill in the corner badly!

I thought TBD Architects were already engaged for this project/site and is Maclab the owner?

I guess you could say it's "to be decided"

Probably, but I would rather see a bit more further east on Jasper Ave. Many empty lots to chose from.

Let's do both, shall we?
