Edmonton City Centre Mall (Renovations) | ?m | 2s | LaSalle Investment Management

I am trying to temper my excitement for this proposal. Walking next to Pacific Centre in Vancouver, all I could think of is how ECC could basically be the same idea with the new LRT running next to it. This has so much transformative potential for our downtown.

Aspects of that transformation for sure... but it would require about $1000.00/sqft by way of 6423708508341e12 more residents and visitors.

Aspects are all I’m asking for haha.

The short answer is no. Let's focus on supporting the City Market on 97st during the winter (and summer for that matter).

I agree. The City Market on 97 st would further be strengthened with full support. Anyways isn't the 104st market there now because the restaurants and pubs enjoyed extra business because when the market used to be there. I drive past 104 last saturday and there was on about a dozen tents but of course there were also customers on the various restaurant patios.

While this great I cannot help but cringe at hearing "World Class" again ughhhh. Soon after this we will have a world class City Centre mall, a world class Ice District and a world class downtown library, gosh we will be the envy of the world

Please for the sake of all Edmontonians, stop selling every development as world class.

 

[IanO]

Please and thank you

I suppose "World Class" is better than no class or mediocre, but yes the hyperbole is too much and I think actually erodes credibilty. At this point I would happily settle for a development that was very good and improves the area greatly.

Absolutely, if you have to state that it is world class, it probably isn't. Just execute it well so that it contributes greatly to Edmonton and the core. I have no doubt that if done well it will breath a lot of life into what is currently there, but execution - ignoring the claim - is key

Well for plenty who won't travel outside our city limits it makes them feel self important that they got some sort of "world class" something.

The tweet has been deleted - it must be due to all your complaining about "world class"

It's too bad you missed it but all you need to know is it was a real world class tweet by ECC on their world class plans for a world class renovation of the mall
