This hospital will be a phenomenal addition to the community and it will service the core for years to come.

Nothing about this is acceptable. Really unbelievable that this is even proposed, what will be worse is when some sort of bad 'improved' version of it starts construction. Do not look at the first page of this thread at what could have been. The prospects for this site really went from downtown Toronto to Nisku truckstop.
This design would be unacceptable in the suburbs, much less the downtown of a city the size of Edmonton. Shame

"To construct 4 Residential buildings (Multi-unit Housing for a total of 696 Dwellings) with a common underground parkade. "
Can someone tell me how large those 696 units are going to be?

^^ Even the low-rise portion of the previous proposal from years back is superior to the hapless effort from the Kelowna crew.

WOW this is unbelievably mediocre..
One thing to note though, the trees in the render are covering up the lower half which is the only part that isn't just a grey box, so it might look slightly better in reality.
Hopefully EDC gets them to add at least some warmer colours though.

Wow, that's a big downgrade. TBH, I wouldn't even mind the downgrade of the scale if the design and especially the materials were better. I mean, they could have taken away the towers and left the podium and it would have been way better.

Exactly. They could have simply gone with the podium of the previous design and it would have been good.
Gronk!

The EDC needs to get them to add more than just warmer colors. Also required are bigger windows, balconies and retail CRUs.

My friend said it looks like a prefab remote arctic research outpost.

Ugh its kinda depressing how all the products have just turned into value engineering.

Just got back from the UK and Unite Students have done a good job of developing some nice looking student housing. I particularly liked some of the buildings in Manchester (example 1 and example 2). Even some of the more basic buildings are way better than this (example 3 and example 4). Shame we couldn't get something a little closer in architecture here.
