Downtown Real Estate

Just wanted to mention that today DECL is out of our community space of 12ish years on 103 Street. It was a good run but changes to our grants made it unsustainable to keep any longer.
Click to expand...

Twas a good run there; we had a lot of good memories building out that space. Basically defined my 30s.
 
Will will happen to the DECL space on 103 St? I could see a boutique opening in there.
 
The Edmonton specific report hasn't been released yet, but this snippet seems interesting. That's a 2.5% reduction in one quarter for Class A office vacancies in the downtown market.

Report's out from CBRE and uh yeah that's a significant shift towards Class A properties. Class B properties are almost at 60% vacancy rate wise. (Also just took a look and Bredin used to be at the CN Tower, so the fact they're moving means that the CN Tower conversion is probably happening)

Crystal Glass... aah another memory. "Twas a cold (minus, minus) winter night when I parked right outside of the place (Mercury Cougar) and before going in to talk business on a project I pushed my driver's side door -- motor running -- closed with the door in the locked position... it was like slow motion... I realized when the door left my hands that the door was locked and my keys were inside the beast. What a sinking feeling (especially since it was minus, minus outside). Embarrassed, I told the reception person what I had done. "no problem," she said, "I'll let Fred (maybe it was Ned) know and he can come up and help you out." Fred (or Ned) came up armed with only a screwdriver and I accompanied him outside (minus, minus) and faster than I could have retrieved the appropriate key from my pocket and inserted it into the door (remember the actual key was in the ignition) to unlock the beast he lifted the door handle and pushed the screwdriver into the void beneath the door handle and... POP the door opened. 'Twas then that I realized that it was pointless to lock the car door for any reason -- on heaven or earth. How easy it must have been to steal cars.
