Transit-oriented development projects underway near Commonwealth Stadium - Edmonton | Globalnews.ca
Lewis Block comes with a new 21-foot long art installation commemorating Joseph Lewis, one of Edmonton's earliest documented Black fur traders with the Hudson's Bay Company.
globalnews.ca
“On Tuesday, real estate developer Rohit Group unveiled its new apartment complex, Lewis Block, which was phase two of Stadium Yards — described as a seven-acre mixed-use urban village.
The development envisions hundreds of residential spaces mixed with retail near the Stadium LRT station, and Lewis Block has 229 new rental units.”
“The third phase is currently in the planning and design stage, with construction anticipated to begin in late 2026 or early 2027, and wrap up sometime in 2029.”

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

This already exists, but a local pub would be ideal. It's relatively close to SaveOn and the Italian Centre.

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

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 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.

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