Downtown

[scyeg]

Let there be ice!

But for real, I’m still pissed the rink isn’t open. What a scene to have people skating while the rink is surrounded by these ice carvers. Be a real winter city and stop half-assing shit.

^ Half @$$ it. It's the most Edmonton thing you can do!

I still think the Connect Centre news might be related to a new HQ with a mixed-use tower involved, hence the confidential 170,000 sq ft transaction but it's probably wishful thinking lol

What was Atco’s RFP? They still haven’t announced,

I wonder if that was the 'confidential 170k'!?!?!

Honestly haven't heard or seen anything on here about that so it could be?

My friend at Atco said he’s heard nothing and they have a half empty office on the west end, so he’d be surprised if they had any changes.

 

[IanO]

Pretty sure something is in the works there.

The meter shop or ops yard being empty wouldn’t really affect their office building plans. What I did know is that they’ve made a decision but it wasn’t public yet. Not saying they are going to Connect, I mean they could go suburban for all we know, but something will occur.

Or possibly for WSP moving off 109 and into the financial district?

 

[IanO]

^that is in the works, but it would not be 170k.

Major employer doubles-down on Downtown Edmonton with relocation underway

ATCO to move Edmonton employees to a different site in the downtown core.

edmontonjournal.com

The change is set to start in 2028 and will involve around 1,200 employees.

Atco said the decision was driven by a desire to stay connected to other businesses, help with the revitalization of the Downtown core, and give its employees good access to amenities.

“We think it’s important for the development of Downtown,” Jason Sharpe, Atco’s chief operating officer said. “If there’s people Downtown, then businesses will locate Downtown and it kind of builds off each other.”
