Ayrshire right? They're about to break ground on a development in Calgary. Either this one will follow, or they simply shifted focus to Calgary only. Wouldn't be surprised the latter, tough to compete with Calgary's momentum when you have developers active in both cities. I would suspect it's...

Very well said @StoneCutter099 The park may look a little out of place at the moment, but it shows that the school is committed to its master plan and the community. I would say it is also a great PR move.

The office crowd largely supports the Core in Calgary, something Edmonton does not compare to and struggling to recover.

Hey @Out of Towner ... GET OUTTA TOWN!!! lol jk, but seriously, replacing one of Edmonton's most iconic structures is definitely not the answer. I agree that vehicle connection is not ideal, and perhaps a new bridge (somewhere.... not near the high level....) or updated thoroughfare is needed...

I never said anything about surface lot, sheesh. If I owned the property, and I wanted to make a major investment to activate the area, would I invest in a major renovation to turn it into a retail hub where retail has not done so well in decades? Or do I tear it down completely, build two...

Complete teardown of the Hudson bunker would be the best solution.

Alright, my bad, I'll keep my political perceptions out of this. I've edited my original commentary.

What's your point then? Like is said, it's all personal perception. You're free to agree or disagree with it.

I don't have citations, this is all just personal opinion of things i seen, read, heard. But here you go, citation of an incident that I think had a profound effect on the populous perception of downtown Edmonton...

I think the oil crash, and then the pandemic, really crushed a lot of downtown Edmonton development momentum. Add in unknown reasons to increased homeless and we got an exodus out of downtown. I know all this was not specific to only Edmonton, but the soup just seemed to mix really well here. I...

I was actually in Bangkok this past April and hit up Emsphere twice. It was quite the experience and it blows any mall in Canada out of the water. The food court was a key standout for me. There are so many amazing options, and none feel like just a typical franchise; you even have...

^^Did The Last of Us forget to remove their movie set?? Looks like even the infected need their cannabis though.

^you forgot to mention that absurd amount of brick they are putting up. Ridiculous, way too much brick for Edmonton, ruining a beautiful stucco wall.

That's a lot of seating area. It looks great and wish it all the success.Sad that I feel like I got to say this but good luck to the security patroling the area and keeping it clean/safe.

Well, opening a hardware store is a poor understanding of the area/downtown market imo.

A Canadian Tire might work, has a great variety from fixing things to cleaning things and also great for seasonal decor. I often went to the urban format Cdn Tire in Beltline Calgary when I was living in Beltline. One thing I would say though is that the store was never busy from my perspective...

I too, and many have envisioned that for Capital Blvd since it has gotten a massive facelift. Unfortunately, that facelift has been how long ago now? Over a decade for sure and parts of the strip already look like it needs to be refurbished. At this point, I think a more residential focused...

Where's Waldo, crane edition.

Any Toronto investor who got stuck with those assets should have understood that high-reward opportunities come with equally high-risk outcomes. If the units be truly small and no parking, then the rental price should reflect it. And since it's all rental, good luck and good on Westrich for...

I disagree, let the market depict what gets built. This is Edmonton, it's not Victoria but neither is it Toronto. There is plenty of space down Capital blvd for more CRUs. I used to care about height and mixed-use and all that as well, but now I'm ok with just more density and filling up spaces...
