^ Speedier framing and potential for better insulation might be 2 -- it has proven to be the case on most of my projects,

Light gauge steel (LGS).

A variety of reasons for the choice.

From a quick search it looks like an LGS building would have concrete on top of steel framing as the floor slab, so I imagine the end product will have better soundproofing than a wood building? If so, make sure that's in the advertising, I think a lot of people avoid the smaller buildings because of their reputation for being noisy!

One rare thing in downtown Edmonton will become less rare once this is built.

A completely developed block!

It'll be real nice. That's one area where Calgary and Ottawa really stand out despite similar populations. Both of their downtowns feel much more complete. Though we do have a bit of an advantage being a late bloomer that a lot of our lots are filling in with residential, uni/college, and other amenities that create a more livable mixed use environment. Calgary's downtown office build out blows ours away, but it's dead at 5pm whereas Edmonton is showing real signs of life.

Even with this project and Lotus, I wouldn't call it a completely developed block - still some gaps, but hopefully some movement on those soon

There will be literally no other developable land left on this block once these two buildings are complete.

Blvd?

I was thinking about the other side of the street. There are some open spaces and redevelopments of others like the funeral home that still need to be done and may not have even started by the time this project is finished. I hope not. And the rest of the land south of Parks needs to be redeveloped, too - currently some parking and the cash chequing business strip.

If course TAS, but those plots of land are on another block, and yes, we want them developed as well.

They are on the same street as this development - 108 street between Jasper Ave and 102 Ave.

Still a different block

Ah, I finally get it now. A block is only one side of one street, not both sides.

the block, in this case, is the rectangle formed by Jasper Ave, 109 St, 102 Ave and 108 St. Just west of it you have a block that's formed by Jasper Ave, 108st, 102 ave and 107 st*, and so on...

This is the correct response.

*keep in mind that Lilac is now 7 storeys with slight design revisions, but here's an idea of what the block will look like.
