^^ True, but if the lane is enclosed between two tied properties it should be close to a no-brainer for the City. The part I don't like is the notion of building another stick-frame made-for-slum mid-rise on the property. I hope that whomever buys this has better than 'O vision.

^ Filling in and compacting for structural integrity in 6" lifts doesn't make any sense to me. The existing pit could serve the parking requirements for both properties with some allowance for visitors and retail/hospitality shoppers. The opportunity here to develop something grand in the architectural sense is prevalent. If it is another 6-storey stick-framed result (which it very well may be) then I will spend time dabbing away my tears and then mentally moving on. If it is, however, an articulated project with variable heights and constructed with substantial materials then I will cheer loudly and stay engaged.
Nothing, if the design effort is put in (Abbey Lane and Cantiro are rare exceptions to the 6-storey sick-framed (not spelling error) melange that is overrunning the City). Both of those companies tend to rise above; others hardly at all.
Some developers have taste as well as integrity; others do not.
I KNEW it. it just makes so much sense. Please let this actually happen and include more retail on the 102nd ave side at least. With the 121 street closure in the Wihkwentowin Neighbourhood Renewal, this building could incorporate some interesting design cues to play into what is essentially having a park at its doorstep. Really excited to see what the potential proposal is!

You are absolutely right! Brain Fart! I had mistakenly interposed "Abbey Lane" for "Rohit" My Bad! Rohit is the good developer of mid-rise housing not Abbey Lane. Excuse me, I have to go now and gargle some mouth wash.
Also, I've noticed that after a big thaw, a little waterfall trickles down some of the shoring, so thank you to the developer for contributing that wonderful amenity to our community.

Well that is one thing Edmonton is missing, a good waterfall. I think it's such a pity considering how much elevation differences we have in this city that we don't have more waterfalls. We could easily become the waterfall capital of the prairies.
^ I suspect @Edmcowboy11 that you said that half in jest but I believe you are right -- there are lots of opportunities to create recirculating waterfalls at key points in the river valley. I could see a reconstituted Korean gardens in the Government Park below the old Royal Alberta Museum -- adjacent to Groat Road in the river valley -- and I could see a series of waterfalls there that would bring that "dead" corner of the city to life. I have been working on an idea for that locale for several months now and I will share that soon.
