I'm ok with it as is and like the quarterly dividend as is too. Its better than the BMO and RBC Towers that don't seem to exist in Edmonton. Ten times the effort from a bank a tenth of their sizes.

Oh how I miss the grungy bus station and all that parking.

I still find it sad that they tore down the Marshall Wells building to build said grungy bus station. This is exactly where the new CWB building will go.

I used to do a lot of people watching there. Did lots of traveling during my university years by bus. I DO kinda miss it, but I think we got something better.

I agree we did get something way better. Just wish A&W could move into the ice district.
Or even better yet how bout a pub/bar called the Greyhound.

They can always name the CWB building the Marshall Wells Tower - a great nod to what was there before.

We do have a very bad habit of tearing town decent older buildings with character, instead of building on nearby empty lots.
Then we wonder why people come here and remark the city doesn't have much character.

^^^^ I haven't met one person in the U.S. who has travelled to the Big E who thinks that Edmonton is a City lacking Character. I think that complaint mostly comes from hometowners.

Nope, never had comments from locals or visitors about all of the parking lots and/or did you not have older buildings here?
Nope, never.

I have had friends from Boston and San Diego visit and remark how bad our downtown is. I agree. Aside from 104 st there is not one other nice, engaging, street you want to spend time on. Here is hoping Ice District keeps prompting investment to change that

Oh yes, 104 Street - the one with a number of nice older warehouse buildings (combined smartly with newer buildings built on the empty lots across the street).
Another gem of Edmonton is Whyte Ave, which has quite a number of older buildings also, to which both locals and visitors flock to despite the limited parking.
Despite the tear down everything urge seemingly deeply embedded in the city's consciousness, it actually works to keep older character buildings.
