Rezoning going to Council on Sept 9.

Not that there was much doubt, but the rezoning application was approved.

Nice that they’re already thinking about the next phase of development.

Also, that is a BIG (and unnecessary) parking lot.

It is a big parking lot yes, but back when that void you see in the middle of the photo was a Zeller's it didn't seem as unreasonable. When Target took over the space it was a big failure, the mall always felt like it had an inevitable doom but that helped speed up the process for sure.

This is probably going to lease up extremely fast, especially from international immigrants too. Hopefully the snippet about them being able to charge higher rents at their Garneau property means other projects get started too.

Fantastic spot for a grocery store too! Having a grocery store right next to any station makes getting groceries on the way home so much easier.

The grocery store is going to be a No Frills. Makes tons of sense as there are none at all in SE Edmonton.

Synergy is the GC and Diamond Schmidt is the architect….what project have we heard them before on?

Maclab to Construct MF Towers in Edmonton's Mill Woods Area - Connect CRE Canada

Maclab Development Group is preparing to begin building a multi-family rental redevelopment project in southeast Edmonton.

Interesting, and I like it. Synergy is Edmonton based and has done a fair share of work around here. The part I like is Diamond Schmidt is Ontario based and looking at their portfolio you get a sense of high quality. Seems similar to Maclab bringing in a nice firm from Toronto like they did with The Parks.

Seems like this will be Diamond Schmidt's first project in Edmonton, they've done work all around Canada including Calgary:

Only questionable thing for me is I don't think Synergy has ever completed a high-rise project before. As long as Maclab has a decent budget here we should expect something nice

They've done this BEAUTIFUL high rise in Fort Mac, although the building construction was stalled after the 6th or so floor was poured and Synergy took over and finished it:

Nothing says “Rio Verde” than Ft. McMurray does.

Well they are a much smaller city than Edmonton so I don't expect the same as here, but the scarcity of balconies seems very odd.
