I think that’s primarily from the city still having some combined storm/sanitary sewers downtown, not the area’s residents (although they can sometimes be problematic as well). Under certain use/weather conditions there are a number of intersections in addition to 101 Street and 104 Avenue where this is often an issue.
 
AFAIR all that area is due for neighbourhood renewal. Hopefully, that's an extra step to clean it up and make it look more attractive for future residents.

Plus its $1300 for a one bedroom besides the Ice District, with vacancy rates as low as they are, people are going to move here no matter what.

I heard every unit comes with 1 stab-proof Kevlar vest...

Joking a side, it's a nice looking building in an area with a good amount of amenities you can walk to. If I had to chose between a unit in this building vs in The Hat @ 5 Corners, with rent being asked for the same or close, I'd chose this one

The unfortunate effect of decades of trying to keep all of Edmontons social issues in one out of sight out of mind corner of the city.

Not out of sight ... at least for those of us who are regularly downtown. The proximity to downtown means it spills over regularly but it was/is an attempt to ghettoize social issues and problems.

Tbf, that area around Station Lands has gotten much better. With the Boyle Street building gone and the regular programming at the Fan Park (and general proximity to Ice District), this area is a lot livelier.
 
Someone has got to go to this thing and take pics of the Switch and get the details on the next highrise phase….

Looks awesome. Really hope this is a success! Might be a big enough project to “work” despite the challenges nearby.
