Phipps McKinnon building has torn down that weird clock tower thing and opened up the corner. Actually looks really good without it.

@Daveography, isn't this the Gene Dub Project?

 

[Daveography]

No this is Cecil Place, which previously housed the Sobeys Urban Fresh.

 

[archited]

Good -- then restaurants are good options for this space, especially considering the grocery store planned for Katz' project.

This is cool:

Solar array @simons_EN @LondonderryMall will be the largest in #yeg 636 kW, with panels on store & new parking lot canopy @ctvedmonton

 

[Hilman]

Edmonton will be the first city outside of Quebec to have two Simons department store locations when the new Londonderry Mall location opens this August.

The two-storey, 90,000-square-foot location will feature women’s and men’s fashions, home goods and the chain’s first dedicated shoe department.

Peter Simons, president of the 177-year old, family-owned department store chain, said the mall’s redevelopment along with the opening of the last section of Anthony Henday Drive made Londonderry an attractive option for a new location.




The Londonderry Simons location will feature new environmental sustainability initiatives. More than 50 per cent of the store’s electricity usage will come from on-site renewable energy sources including solar panels on parking lot canopies and the store rooftop. The panels are expected to generate more than 550,000 kilowatt-hours per year, equivalent to powering 80 homes.

Other environmentally sustainable features include LED lamps and fixtures throughout the interior as well as electric-car charging stations in the parking lot adjacent to the store.

Oh how I wish it were a downtown location, but will still probably start shopping at this one over WEM.

Signage coming off the former Enbridge Tower.

Sounds like John Day has sold Garneau Theatre (and presumably the rest of the block) to Quality Property Developments. Rumour is they're thinking of adding office space somewhere to the building. Which is weird because that was Day's original plan which was panned, and scaled back to just a refresh of the exterior.

Reminder that there is an ICE District "North" open house today, 4:30 - 8:30, Edmonton Tower lobby.
