Downtown Montreal and Vancouver also already have other and more retail options that we do, which IKEA may be aware of. I suspect they are not only looking at the size of the market, but what else is there.

It does not have to be one of the other, Canadian Tire or Home Hardware sells much different things than IKEA. I also go to Canadian Tire less now that they moved further south, however their Kingsway location is not too far away.

The venerable Mr. Chris Dulaba (Rohit) shared some of his thoughts on ECC the other night, including the importance of turning the mall inside out to respond to the urban core/street, add more of a mixed-use compilation/offering and break it up.
I go out of my way not to inflate his ego
, but do believe that he is onto something here...
*I should make it clear that these are his ideas and not related to a formal project or proposal.

Of course, Rohit can always buy ECC so that his ideas can be brought to fruition. Right, @cmd uw?

I didn’t see Chris’ presentation but there are some strong elements in that slide. The most transformational for the core might be the reestablishment of 102 Street between 102 and 103 Avenue. Then we could try and do the same thing for 101A Avenue through Canada Place (only at the ground floor ) and for 103 Avenue where it crosses Sir Winston Churchill Square (except for special events). And make 96th Street two way from Jasper to 103A Avenue.

Who was this presentation to? Did the owners or any of their reps in attendance happen to be there?

Was hopeful at one time this would have been in place for opening of LRT.

How would the YMCA be impacted by a sports facility across the street basically?
I think I’d rather see residential and retail on 103st to make 103 and 104 both vibrant street that connect Jasper to Ice District

Population isn’t the key factor here, disposable income is. Having lived in both Yaletown and downtown Edmonton, I’ve noticed a clear difference in how much more spending power people my age (I’m 34) have in Edmonton. In Vancouver, it was hard to get friends together for dinner even a couple of times a month. Meanwhile here in Edmonton we eat out more than once a week without thinking twice. This also applies to shopping, hobbies, etc. An IKEA City wouldn’t just serve downtown; it would draw people from the entire northside and St. Albert.
