CONDO TOWER POINTS TO EDMONTON ECONOMY’S STRENGTH
The Encore Tower, a 43-story condominium building near Edmonton, Canada's Ice District is under construction and expected to be complete in fall 2019, reflecting what developer David Sanche of Westrich Pacific Corp. says is a strong local economy, the Edmonton Sun reports. Westrich began construction of Encore on the heels of its nearby 32-story Ultima Tower, which is 100 percent sold. Located at 103 Street and 102 Avenue, Encore will have approximately 175 luxury units and is approximately 70 percent sold. Upon completion, it will be the tallest condo-only building in Edmonton.
TODDLER TRAPPED IN PARTIALLY CLOSED ELEVATOR
A toddler was stuck in a partially closed shopping-mall elevator for about 40 minutes on March 29, bc.ctvnews.ca reports. A woman said her three-year-old son walked into the elevator at the Metropolis at Metrotown mall in Burnaby, Canada. As she tried to pull him out, the door closed on her hand, then remained only partially open with the child stuck inside. Burnaby fire officials and an elevator technician got him out, but the incident and procedures will be reviewed. No physical injuries were reported, though the mother indicated the child was traumatized.
GLASSY TOWER TO BE NEW BANK HEADQUARTERS IN MILWAUKEE
By 2019, downtown Milwaukee should have a new, glassy 25-story office building designed by local architect Kahler Slater on the site of a parking garage in the heart of the historic financial district, The Architect's Newspaper reports. Irgens is the developer of the new headquarters for Chicago-based bank BMO Harris, which plans to move from a 1960s-era 20-story building next door at 770 North Water Street. Construction is set to start later this year on the building, which will have parking and amenities within a 10-story podium. Irgens will also oversee redevelopment of the older building.
