Apparently 25% sold on the opening weekend with more sales to firm up this week. Rumours also have multiple holds on the same unit should some fall off.

That's a good start for An Edmonton project as of late! It's not a Toronto buying frenzy, but that's probably a good thing... Steady = good... Frenzy? Not so much... Dubai anyone?

If you can get a closer shot of actual foundation construction, I'll move it. But if they're just excavating, it's not under construction per the definitions of the forum. Once we see foundation construction (footings, piles, or caissons or matt foundation rebar), one of us mods will move it over.

That isn't under construction by SSP standards (even though it's likely for construction to continue)

see these two for examples of buildings that have had digging and shoring work for some time, but still aren't technically u/c by SSP standards.

Downtown Edmonton grows near proposed arena site


BY ELISE STOLTE, EDMONTON JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 9:25 AM

EDMONTON - A $75-million residential tower will break ground Thursday one block away from the proposed arena site.
"Our presales sold out almost the whole building," said area sales manager Natalie Raczkowski, speaking of the Ultima, a 199-unit tower going up at 10238 103rd St. being built by developer Westrich Pacific.

Nearly 75 per cent of the units were sold June 2, their first day of sales. "The response to the Ultima is why we are moving ahead so quickly with our Encore," she said.

"I wouldn't say (the proposed arena) was the main driver of sales, but it definitely helped," Raczkowski said. "We saw a great opportunity downtown. The arena was something we thought was a huge bonus."

Construction on the 32-storey Ultima started this week and is expected to be complete by spring 2015. Raczkowski said the company hopes to start construction for Encore next year.

Encore is being designed for more than 40 storeys, and would be the highest residential tower in Edmonton.

The downtown arena deal was thrown into jeopardy last week when city negotiators presented city council with a list of new requests from the Katz Group.

Oilers owner Daryl Katz has argued he needs a casino deal to give an additional source of revenue. If that doesn't come through, he says, he'll need a $6-million annual subsidy to pay for the arena and keep the Oilers in Edmonton.

Proposed and u/c towers for Edmonton - Ultima is tricky but middle just left of the pointy tower half in front of the new tallest.

Nice to see this one go through! Hopefully it will clean up the Northlands area a bit.

Northlands area? It is right smack dab in the middle of downtown.

THIS is a, very, striking development! I love Ultima's simple design and street-level treatment. It has, both, towering and human-scale proportions that relate to it's historic, neighboring, structures and more contemporary surroundings. IF it's developers don't alter it's handsome design and impressive scale, ' Ultima ' will achieve and sustain a great presence within Edmonton's evolving skyline.
