As a former Edmontonian I should know these things ... but, to you Edmonton forumers is the use of red brick and/or rough concrete in Edmonton residential towers a requirement per the planning and development department for the downtown and Oliver areas? The reason I ask is the vast majority of existing and many of the planned towers for the noted areas seem to have at least some red or brown brick and/or rough concrete elements ...

Somehow I am thinking the developers are making up for the lack of brick development that took place during the turn of the century and are happy to oblige.
Rough concrete is used if only to make things non-slippery. That's the only excuse I can come up with for that.
