Something old, something new ... and something Blue. Somehow this picture made me remember an old TV commercial jingle - Keep them guessing with Oil of Olay. Still not convinced it works though.

I have largely no idea what any of this means, but these are the types of posts I live for on this website.

^^^^ the equivalent of children's nursery rhymes @nv96, nothing to stress over.

The new windows on the Blue Cross building are looking great too

Its a good time to do this sort of thing, while the space is vacant. It is probably needed given the age of the building and it may save money on energy costs in the future.

However, I wonder if they will manage to fill the space again or if it will just be vacant for a long time.

The only difference envelope difference I can see is the colour of the glazing - the windows look the same. What am I missing?

^^^^ the right thread.

IF we even see it get built within our lifetimes! I'm still not very confident it'll get built in it's current form, maybe as a 20 - 40 storey tower at the most, especially since Alldritt has never developed any high rise product before.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Jesus, don't get your hopes up!

Crane onsite today removing the construction elevator.

Time to move the construction elevator to another high rise project…..one that is more than a measly 6 stories…..perhaps the Hudson!

From the top -- more than 80% sold already as the show suite opens...

And who said Edmonton's Condo Market was dead?

Still a lot of room between good and dead.

To paraphrase Mark Twain - tales of its death have been greatly exagerated

Hardly.

The appetite for new condos in the core is still lagging; much of this tower 'sold' a few years ago now and during its launch to get a hopeful uplift and likely fairly speculative in nature. It's a good location, good looking building and decent layouts and will over perform, but dont let this fool you or the state of the market.

There is a reason why most new projects are going purpose built rental over condo.
