Fox Burger is taking one of the restaurant spots on the main floor - that's a good pickup for the building.
Opening 2026 sometime.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but District Café's website says they're opening a new location in Rice Howard Place: https://districtcafe.ca/

Aaah yes…
But at least it matches the new lobby palette with “a little bit of this and a little bit of that over here and a little bit of something else or three over there and oooh! we have to find a spot for this somewhere…”.

I.e., the Edmonton School! It ain't Bauhaus or brutalism, but it's our very own!Aaah yes…

Wow, last time I was there for work it was a total ghost town. That's some great food options.

Pretty good vote of confidence in the area and downtown in general. Weren’t we expecting some new office leases popping up here too?

Still waiting for Sushi Niwa to move back. I hear they'll be re-opening as Joon's.

Unfortunately not! You can find this stuff in bland suburbs all over North America.I.e., the Edmonton School! It ain't Bauhaus or brutalism, but it's our very own!

^ It is why this fight needs more conscripts and less allowance for "goodenoughism". It's an uphill battle but one worth having!

I have mixed feelings about this one. It desperately needed to be modernized and was a bit too much of a dark cold space. However, the new material while updating it and warmer could have been of better quality and design.
Perhaps no longer being a signature bank building the level of what was done was not the same and they really just wanted to update it. I have been through it several times and looked at it critically. I think it will be ok, but not as impressive as it once was.

Yes, but the sad thing is this one is probably not even in the top 10 of ugly right now.
