Is there anything else to the rumor? Is BP's moving to a new location somewhere maybe closer to 109th Street?

Closing. No replacement.

I found it surprising this location lasted as long as it did with the newer Edmonton Tower location only a few blocks away.

Huge opportunity to develop the old bps and parking lot next to it into something good now!

Well I do really hope something good happens with this property. The one thing that I would be really sad to see is if BP's shuts down and nothing happens except the building sits empty and doesn't go anywhere, which is something that tends to happen here in Edmonton.

Yes, it was fairly close. They probably just kept it open until the lease ended. I think they should consider a location further west somewhere on Jasper Ave, so not as close to the Edmonton Tower one.

Yes, I feel the layout needs some reworking, but it could be a good downtown spot for some other popular restaurant franchise that does not already have another downtown location several blocks away. That list is fairly long.

I'm hoping for a spectacular high rise fronting the park with some lovely independent local food and beverage offerings on the main floor along with non-street-facing patios. Who's with me? Let's manifest HARD!

please no 6-storey woodframes on Jasper ave, i beg you.
As others mentioned, would be a good spot for the park to expand with an actual formal beautiful entrance from jasper avenue, (imagine!)
Alternatively, i wouldnt mind seeing some well designed park pavilions that could host restaurants etc... Or just some good old fashioned well designed residential towers with proper podiums, like the parks, with park facing CRUs and such

Personally I'd prefer a low-rise on these sites, to allow more sunlight into the park.
Would love to see CRUs with patios facing the park though, with vehicle entrances off 106 and 107st so the alleyway can be closed to traffic.

Well no high rises being built nearby on empty lots, so tearing down a perfectly functional building here in the hope of something happening would be a mistake IMO, but the kind Edmonton seems to keep on making again and again.
