General Construction Updates

Not a bad second anchor for New Horizon Mall. Between this and The Best Shop should help to increase traffic and bring on more tenants.

This one is going very slow, but there are workers still on site.

What project is "this one" or where was the picture taken?

That one is at Edmonton Trail and about 26th ave I believe. It's a 16 unit development called Jade Garden.

Friend of mine got to take a tour of that massive home under construction on Crescent Road and 4th Street NW yesterday. Some facts:

-18,000sf (this most likely includes the basement level)
-Detached garage in the back is connected underground via the basement level, also has a garage on the main house
-Swimming pool inside
-Theatre room, golf simulator room, craft room
-The glass is apparently something like 'oven rated' for heat resistance
- 3" marble imported from Italy for exterior use
-Copper piping

The cost for the build may be around 30 million.

I wonder who the owner is!
It would not cost 30 million. Maybe 6 million.

I dunno, apparently the owners (I have a name but will not share to respect privacy) have no problem with completely re-doing entire parts of the plan. Totally going Jurassic Park and "sparing no expense". So maybe not as high as that 30 million number that was mentioned, but I could see it pushing towards that $1000/sf mark.

The marble slabs for exterior use would cost a fortune for the material and the labour to install it. Specialized glass windows would be way up there too.

Work on the roof of Barron:

Maybe its heresy to say this for a heritage building, but I can't help but think how the Barron building would look great if the brick were painted white.

Same with the Fina building. It has that same colored brick and I've wondered if it would look better white.

16th ave and 6th St NW

We've seen this one recently, but here's a night version

Thanks for the info. We walk past there all the time and were wondering about the details.

I usually hate the idea of painting brick - but in the case of the Barron Building I agree as the existing is uuuugly.
Always thought this was an ugly building, I hope the current renos help.

I thought I’d never hear someone call the Barron building ugly. In my mouse like opinion I think it’s one of the best.
