Community Engagement

The Symphony’s (aka Raintree) built form and exterior finishes address the historic Parkview Apartments and Foote Residence (Municipal Historic Resources) while reinforcing the mix of high density residential uses and patterns in the McKay Avenue Area  through the implementation of the (DC1) Direct Development Control Provision approved by Edmonton City Council.

The DC1 allowed for the development of a 27-storey apartment building consisting of a 23-storey slim tower over a 4-storey stepped podium incorporating sustainable design equivalent to a Silver LEED standard and architectural features and building finishes that respect the surrounding historic buildings.
