This is a great way to make use of city land used as fire stations, etc..

Wish it was more than a rectangle surrounded by driveway and parking lots.
Just build it

I agree. On the other hand, it's an improvement over the current one level building surrounded by parking lots.

Wow .. residences right over top of a fire station! One would have to be pretty sound sleeper.

I was thinking this! My wife and I lived two blocks away from the fire station in Edmonton downtown and even that was terrible sometimes... Can't imagine living directly on top of one!

I guess you wouldn't have to worry about any fires?

Don't we already have a skyscraper over top of a fire station (Solaire) ?

That's correct.

The tender is out for this now. 48 residential suites plus fire station. Expected completion Q4/2023. There is a new rendering....fire station is next to the building rather than right underneath.

There’s also a fire station above a building on 1st street SE, near 7th ave.

Looks like construction began a couple days ago.
This is great news.
