From their pre-notification letter.

[HomeInMyShoes]

The street level of that podium is going to be super important.

[Coldrsx]

Massively important, thankfully they are using WZMH out of Toronto and have a local planner who is quite skilled and cognizant of this important component.

[Calgarian]

You guys are on a roll up there! looks good, can't wait to see more detailed renderings.

[Coldrsx]

Existing site, modernist building on 103ave to be incorporated.

Bravo, another great project! This area is long overdue for revitalization.

Bravo, another great project! This area is long overdue for revitalization.

Sweet fancy moses! More tall buildings for downtown???:haha:

Awesome!

[TallBob]

Edmonton's got some fantastic residential proposals! Actually, like 'em better than Calgary's.... and they're taller!

[WhipperSnapper]

The towers are somewhat interesting but, that podium needs a lot of refinement.

[DAVEinEDMONTON]

The towers are somewhat interesting but, that podium needs a lot of refinement.

I think the design is for rezoning only and probably will not look anything like the proposal. That being said, thin tall residential towers without balconies sure would be nice!

[HomeInMyShoes]

I like the move to a six-story podium. Seven seems gigantic. Don't really like the loss of overall height but it appears to be the same end result for density with 1300 units (maximum.)

[Surrealplaces]

Any idea why the change in height? Was there opposition to the original 51 storey towers?

[Surrealplaces]

Staging opportunities/economics.

We're looking at the same thing with a proposal here. It'll either be two towers...one 50 something, and the other 40 something, or three towers of a lesser height.
I won't be surprised to see them go with the 3 towers, but there's always hope :)

[Coldrsx]

Tallest tower and the entire podium to go first, other 2 towers to follow so I hear.

[Cowtown_Tim]

40, 35, and 30 ain't too bad. I kinda think that's what will happen with the Calgary one, and I'm okay with that. I would be happy with 5 towers of even lower heights.

[HomeInMyShoes]

Kind of odd that the tallest is towards the North of the site. I can see that for valley and skyline views, but just odd with respect to the overall massing of the downtown skyline. That is a ginormous podium. I like the look of the newer drawings' podium better, but it seems less integrated into the Massey Ferguson building which pretty much stands on its own. Maybe not the worst thing for the design overall.

Developer tweaks plans for Edmonton’s Healey Ford site
By Ryan Tumilty

Two has become three as a proposed development downtown gets tweaked in advance of a public meeting Wednesday night.

The proposed redevelopment of the Healey Ford site on 106 Street between 103 Avenue and 104 Avenue was originally planned as two 51-storey towers on a large podium. The developer is now planning three towers with the tallest at 40 storeys, a second at 35 and the shortest at 30.

Spread across the three towers the project would have 1,300 residential units as well as a 38,500 square feet of commercial and retail space in the podium.

http://metronews.ca/news/edmonton/1296608/developer-tweaks-plans-for-edmontons-healey-ford-site/

[Design-mind]

To bad about the height reduction, but the added density will be great for this neighbourhood.

[Coldrsx]

30-35-40 towers will still be excellent additions from a height perspective.

Very constructive open house last night, great to see so many passionate people out who are wanting to work for a win win.

[Daveography]

^ Glad to hear that. I agree, as much as I would love a pair of 50 story towers, the impact of these three is nothing to scoff at.

[Coldrsx]

DECL open house April 23 from 7-8pm for current community league members.

[Coldrsx]

Updated Healy Package

Main changes are:

-Tower heights are now 45-42-48
-Revised podium massing, variation and brick colour
-Revised parkade entrance location and setback from lane

Mixed reviews on proposed Healy Ford towers for downtown Edmonton

Downtown dwellers are on the fence when it comes to the proposed three tower development slated for 106 Street in between 103 and 104 Avenue.

While some were watching the Alberta provincial leaders’ debate, some Edmontonians raised concerns about the Healy Ford development Thursday night which could have 1,300 units as well as 43,000 square feet of commercial and retail space.
