I heard that they have until 2027 to construct this, might have been from Global News. Not sure if that is true or not.

I remember in 2017 being excited for the groundbreaking of this building in October 2018... my first post on this website may be under this thread I think.
Alldritt Tower, you will always have a special place in my heart, and part of me still believes that you'll get built before Alldritt develops their empty lots on 124th Street and Stony Plain Road. Thank you for the trip down memory lane

The economic climate globally does not look good, and that vibe may supercede that date.
In hind sight, I wish this was proposed at the same time as Stantec; it would have been built already.

Yeah it would be a perfect fit to Edmontons skyline, and generally, having a skyscraper that is as tall as a Toronto skyscraper would be cool!

Rather than put all our Quarters eggs in one basket, a narrow stip of land encroaching on the river valley, that may or may not happen, I feel it would be better to for the city try get some smaller developments on some of the existing lots in the Quarters. Surely with all the recent talk of affordable housing, this area with its central location would be a good spot for something.

It's been 8 years. Is there any hope left for this at all? The new design from 2022 makes me think they still have some desire to get this thing built but all this inaction also makes me think it's truly dead

Not really, Suncor still owns the property and never sold it, so better chance of Raj Dhunna building a hotel/office tower on his BMO site than the Alldritt tower ever happening.

It takes a special gullible idiot to believe this was ever more than a fantasy.

It's just being realistic. Alldritt has never, not once, ever moved on any project of this type, and they have a decades-long reputation for talking out their ass. They've never in their existence earned any goodwill that could be leveraged into some kind of optimism.
Calling a spade a spade isn't being negative, just as being drunk on hopium isn't optimism.
