They're already excavating for the parkade. Full steam ahead.
Westrich is going all in around the new park.

Unfortunate because short wood frame buildings don’t belong here

This isnt the 90’s. They are doing amazing things with wood.

I will take 30 of these 6-7 story wood frame buildings if that means no more surface parking and more complete streets downtown over 2 or 3 towers that become islands and don't improve the on-street feel. As much as I love high rises, and I hope we get some, I would rather see those in the CBD, especially if we can get some more hotels and maybe the odd mixed used, and have warehouse district and south of Jasper ave filled with wall-to-wall low and mid rises.

The urban environments of most cities is a mixture of low/mid/high rises.

Exactly. And also, it sometimes seems like some people expect Manhattan levels of high-rise density and development in Edmonton that simply won't happen, ever. We don't have the population to support that many high rises, and we don't have the geographical constraints that would make up for the smaller population, in that regard.

Much of manhattan was (for years) brownstones and midrises.
High rises were historically commercial buildings.

Here is a nice selection of residential buildings in NY as you can see a number of them are 6-11 stories tall.

I don't think the issue for most people on here is midrises instead of highrises; I think the issue is the design and quality. These NY examples are in an entirely different world from what developers here are building and proposing.
