What an amazing transformation of the area. Now how about a nice pub for the area to hit pre/post EE.

See Ian, here's another example to compare to your first love of "University City," in YYC!!! Muttart now has 8 buildings built with 2 more plots of land still left to go.....easily rivals what your buds are doing down south......lol....

Actually no, it does not, given the amount of mixed-use down there, townhouses and greenspace.

Not taking anything away from this project, but it's not in the same ballpark.

I'll happily argue that it's second to Mercury Block and Cobalt.

I'll happily agree with you. The sad part is that among the product coming on stream in Edmonton, these two examples are a rarity amid an onslaught of sub-par product.

The exteriors on this are way better than mercury block imo. The black stucco looks so cheap during the days. Love the podiums and courtyards though.

from Rohit site, has me curious about their plans. That's A LOT of commercial

• Additional 15,000 sq ft of commercial development in Phase 2 and 3

^ Think five smallish restaurants, or 1 grocery store and 3 smallish restaurants or 30 pipe shops.

This makes me happy. I've always envisioned this area as another Garneau or Wikhwentowin.

Pretty far from that imo. But in its own way it can become a killer TOD that many experience as close to a complete community in the next decade. A few more buildings will really make this area pop.

Does anyone know where phase 3 will be located—the plot of land by the "keep edmonton weird" building, or the property by the lrt station that they're using as a lay down site?

Have to zoom in but it's there.

Phase 3 is the laydown site. Rohit doesn't own the plot next to the "keep Edmonton weird" building, that site has been listed for sale for quite awhile: https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/27867552/8490-106a-avenue-nw-edmonton-boyle-street

Given how much vacant land we have in the core, this description is hilarious: "RARE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY to BUILD 2 HIGH RISE RESIDENTIAL CONDO TOWERS in a PRIME LOCATION in the CORE of EDMONTON". Nothing "rare" about that kind of opportunity.

I suppose it sort of depends on the definition of prime location, but I would agree there seems to be plenty of opportunity around in fairly good locations.

It seems to be the type of hype that is typical in this industry. I am not sure it helps get credibility for this here perhaps it is aimed at out of towners who may not know better.

Thank gosh, thanks for confirming. I'm so excited that some prime real estate right next to the LRT station (particularly one right by a stadium) is about to get such high quality mixed-use development!

 

[Gronk!]

Lewis Block North is completed and actively renting.
Lewis Block South is almost done.
Phase 3 NE of Lewis Block - who knows.
There is some kind of rehab work in front of Felice.

 

[Avenuer]

Glad they are redoing the park in front of Felice as well as Stadium Station, those 'humps' were looking very shabby and were full of weeds. Hopefully this redo is much longer lasting.
