The Parks

Edmonton, AB

The Parks is a mixed-use development located at the corner of Jasper Avenue and 108 Street NW (also referred to as Capital Boulevard) in downtown Edmonton. Both streets are important roadways and destinations, distinguished by their location and unique characteristics. Jasper Avenue has recently been designated Edmonton’s premier Main Street. The city plans to enhance the street to create a high-quality pedestrian experience with wide sidewalks, improved landscaping, and refined streetscape elements. Capital Boulevard serves as a visual and physical extension of the Legislature grounds into downtown Edmonton. This street features wide, tree-lined sidewalks, mid-block pedestrian crossings, and mid-street islands with permanent art installations. Directly northeast of the project site, the Warehouse Campus Neighbourhood Central Park is planned as a large urban oasis in Edmonton’s downtown. The Parks will build on the enhanced appearance and improved walkability of the neighbourhood.

The built form consists of two slim high-rise residential towers (45 and 35 storeys) with small floor plates and a chamfered façade on a partial two-storey podium connected to a midrise residential “Link Building” (11 storeys). The rooftop of the Link Building will feature outdoor amenity space for residents to enjoy year-round. This design offers dynamic massing while allowing sunlight penetration to the planned Warehouse Campus Neighbourhood Central Park to the northeast. A break in the podium, between the two towers, forms a large open-air porte-cochère, providing a connection to the park from Capital Boulevard.

At street level, retail spaces wrap around the corner of the building’s podium, creating an active, pedestrian-scaled streetscape. The podium will create a new access point to the Corona LRT Station. This, along with bus routes, bike paths, and pedestrian access, forms a connection not only to downtown Edmonton but also to the North Saskatchewan River Valley and the rest of the city.
