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.

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?

Major employer doubles-down on Downtown Edmonton with relocation underway

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

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.”

They had some pop-ups there during the farmers' market days and it was good ice cream. This is good news for our neighbourhood.
