Nothing new really…..perhaps more bucks to fund past the construction phase?

From the article:
"The project is also expected to create more than 350 high-quality jobs, support at least 60 early-stage life sciences and biomanufacturing companies, and train 175 skilled workers, contributing to economic growth in the Edmonton region."
Thumbs up to all of this.

Too bad TD doesn't do the same here.

Another example from down south. I read the are planning to build a new YMCA/library for $120 million and Truman (huge, quality developer there) is donating the land.

Companies often seem to focus more of that sort of thing where their larger corporate offices are. I suppose out of sight out of mind.

Doesn’t indicate where this office will be…..virtual office? Lol

Wonder if they'll go downtown or look to lease space closer to the refinery like at Twin Atria or something. Also, wonder if the new HQ will be on the refinery site (one of the parking lots?) or if they'll build it across the street at the old Texaco refinery site. Did not realize that most of it had been developed into a huge rail yard recently.

Would be great if it was downtown, but considering their old office in Calgary was in Quarry Park, the chances might be slim for that.

Yeah they said the current plan is for a new office building at the "refinery site" by 2028-29.
