In theory it’s a great idea. The problem usually is with financing. The value of any commercial property is directly tied to the leases that generate the cash. So if you have a building that’s appraised, and likely financed, based on a certain lease rate (income generated), the minute that you...

I never heard anything public about this but the owner of the old HSBC building right across the street from Energy Square did this exact same thing over the last few years. He bought it pretty cheap from Dream REIT about 5 or 6 years ago and has taken lower rates and even built a totally new...

I agree that I wish the airlines would look at both cities but unfortunately they do not. It’s Calgary and the rest of the province. Even our provincial government seems to look at the province that way. What I wish more than anything is that us Edmonton customers would punish those airlines for...

I also agree that YEG is pretty good experience overall. I do however think we have one of the sickest control towers anywhere. I love looking at that thing

It’s a small local law firm that bought the building and completed the renovations. They will be operating the firm from there.

I’ve actually cancelled trips because I just won’t fly out of Cgy. I just can’t do it. When I went to San Diego last month, I flew to LA from Yeg and then drove to San Diego.

I agree with this one million percent.

Well my answer will always be to support my city. I will and do always choose Edmonton first. I won’t under any circumstances use YYC. YVR is and has been an option for me but I don’t think I’d do AC to Dubai when I can get on Emirates from Toronto or Seattle. I like Dubai from Seattle better...

I don’t think the Bank is moving out of the J22 building. This move is for the Head Office and the branch on 103rd street. The most important thing about all of this is that this will ensure the HO is here long term. Calgary and Vancouver have been circling for decades trying to get the Bank to...

I believe it to be true but of course there’s a chance I’m wrong. I dont have any details on the exterior of the building or floor plates but In my perfect world, it would be about 200M and have a residential on top. The Bank will have signage though. That was important for them

Thank you. I think it’s going to sit in the north part of the podium of the Connect Centre. The same spot that was to be the residential tower. The view i was talking about looked like the building was facing the Ultima directly.

CWB announced internally that they’re moving the Head Office to the Ice District in 2026 over a week ago and yet no public announcement. The renderings (outward facing) I saw looked like the building was facing south down 103rd street not the baccarat site
