New Condo's to Consider!? 
So apparently this week I'm talking all about new developments our city will be seeing in the future!,  Westrich Pacific Corp is beginning construction on a condo located at 10238 103 St  which will be called ULTIMA,  2015 is when it is said to be completed by, along with Pearl and Fox Towers - 2015 is going to be an excited year for our city! The prices for these condos will begin at $ 242,000 to $1,132,000.  I was looking through the photos of this future development and was blown away by how modern and fresh these condos will be. This development will feature 32 stories ; living and working lofts on the second & third floor while the suites will start on the fourth floor. Reading through the description of these suites…

Lately when reading about Real Estate and what's fresh and new in Edmonton's market I can't help but spot a trend… HIGH RISES on the RISE. With the anticipation of the highest building in all of Edmonton ; Pearl Tower, there is also a new building in my favourite area one should  keep their eyes out for.  Fox Towers - which are 142 condos in one of Edmonton's most attractive Area's . It will be two separate towers that will feature amazing white glass exterior that is said to turn heads and offer spectacular views of our beautiful city. There will be 28 floors and over 140 units with suites offering up to three bedrooms ..which means you can move in alone or your whole family can join! Fox One will be brought to life by Langham Developments and from the…

It is said to be the "Vibrant and eclectic block in downtown Edmonton"  104th Street between Jasper and 102 Avenue is one of the most trendy and expanding areas in our city. The Street's have changed drastically from empty parking lots and random warehouses to the prime of all of Edmonton. You can find a variety of shops, cafes, and of course century old buildings like the Philips Lofts that go back all the way to the 70's. ( A little bit of Edmonton history for you ). 15 years ago you could say the street was the opposite of how we see it today; mainly because of the Cecil Hotel which was attracting a lot of negative attention. It was said to be a very unpleasant area of downtown with a lot of day drinking and fighting on the streets in broad day…

Although I'm sad to see summer ending , It's safe to say this summer has been one of the best! One of my favourite summer festivals in my lovely city just ended on Saturday and regardless of how busy I've been since coming back from my Europe trip with work , I refused to miss it !! Located in Old Strathcona this festival is for people of all ages, you will laugh, jump, dance and sing ! I  headed out around 5pm with my sister for an evening filled with laughs and excitement. Tons of Edmontonians gathered to enjoy the last weeks of summer as well as the fabulous performances, I was definitely impressed. Two of my favourite groups of performers included Project Dynamite and the LOL Brothers. Project dynamite reminded me a little of cirque de soleil , they…

Went to the last day of Kdays with my daughter today and had a blast! Although I've never been a fan of the rides ( I apparently get dizzy easily) it was great seeing everyone enjoying themselves and having a fun time. I did get a chance to ride the ferris wheel and was even convinced to try a Chocolate Caramel Bacon Apple ; yes I said Bacon - it has the rich taste of chocolate and caramel with the unexpected crunch of bacon. I have to say I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did - everyone should try one next year! What the real treat of the night was for me was an amazing deep friend caramel apple pie - Yes I know it was probably around 1000 calories but it was so worth every bite. It's made from homemade pie crust and stuffed with apple…

One of my favourite things about summers in Edmonton are all the wonderful and exciting festivals we have ! Taste of Edmonton is number one on my list ; it has definitely become a summer tradition for me and my family. It's great to see all of Edmonton's food lovers coming together in the heart of the city to enjoy all the variety of cuisine . Celebrating it's 29th year I've learnt that this event has become one of the largest festivals in all of Western Canada! I was fascinated to see all the new restaurants ( there is nine of them to enjoy ) , great new artists and really glad to see that there was tons of gluten free choices for everyone to try . One of my favourite dishes were the Mahi Mahi sliders from the Hat as well as the vegan chicken drum stick…

Sitting at Starbucks on Jasper Ave enjoying my favorite cup of coffee, while reading the Edmonton Journal a few weeks ago I was excited to read that the project of the new tallest residential building is coming together quite nicely. It’s going to be a great expansion for our city not only in the sense of seeing more space on ground level but perhaps in the future we will be seeing even taller high rises. Pearl Tower is located on 120th Street on Jasper Avenue, a great location in downtown Edmonton. From reading the article it was interesting to see the structure was initially suppose to be much higher but due to the Airport Protection Overlay (APO) by law, they were limited to a certain height because of flight paths … it's still going to be the tallest…
