Want to own a big hole in downtown Edmonton? It’s yours for $4.3M

EDMONTON – A big hole in the ground on 95 Street and Jasper Avenue is being sold for $4.3 million.

The hole was dug on the lot when BCM homes was planning to build a 28-storey condo before backing out of the deal last year.

The lot is zoned for commercial and residential property. At least 33 per cent of the future development must be residential.

“The city encourages buyers to bring forward offers based on bold and creative developments and the city may relax or modify provisions of the existing zoning on the merits of a specific developments,” the listing on the city’s website reads.
