The cost does seem high for a building already built, especially when you consider the parkade, and all the concrete which is the most expensive part is already done. Kings by Lacaille is less cost to build ($71 million) for 268 units Maybe you’re right that it’s related to longer term costs. .

Agreed. With it being Cadillac Fairview I’m confident this will start soon. Just need the paperwork to run its course.

I would love to see this get built. I was at Marda Loop on Sunday and was so impressed by how it’s all coming together. 34th Ave is fantastic.

I fear this project has stalled. I don’t see the bobcat and rebar on site anymore, and I can’t tell 100% from the photo but I think the porta-potties are gone

When it comes to homeless people it would be good if we had a degree of severity index or such. The only thing all homeless people have in common is being unhoused, but that’s it. It’s not a good way to label group of people who have various issues. Solutions have to be applied to the address...

I recall seeing a graphic on the Edmonton page a while back showing the percentage of missing middle relative to all starts and Calgary and Edmonton faired very well. I don't know where the Edmonton starts are being built, or if any are in its downtown, but in overall numbers pretty solid.

So many wins here. A parking lot disappears, 350 units are added to the CBD, and a new sidewalk!

As far as not topped out yet, there are 8 Imperia Lincoln Gallery Kings lacaille Sovereign Francesco Yellowstone 1405 To some, Francesco might not be considered a ‘tower’ but it is a high rise.

Good progress I the last few weeks, maybe trying to get as much done as they can before the weather turns cold.

100% agree.

IMHO, the definition of a row house vs an apartment would be. A row house would have 1) direct access from the outside 2) nobody above you or below you in the same footprint. I could see possible debate over point number 2, but that’s my definition of a row home versus an apartment. As far as...
