They did. I believe they even installed the services to the pad site and then the deal died. It was before Covid, like 2019 or so. I also believe The Keg was close to a deal in Manulife Place prior to Covid.

as I recall, the city put a kibosh on the Keg's design with a blank back wall facing 104ave. With the demise of the car wash there's a great space now immediately east of MEC.

The tenant will be taking Unit B and the entirety of the remaining available 2nd floor space on the NE corner above.

Interesting, that's a very large space then. Any info on what type of tenant?

 

[Gronk!]

First floor

Second floor

 

[husky]

Holy that's a huge space.

 

[Kosy123]

Watch it be a Simons lol

But for real, would that be a retail or a restaurant tenant? That's a massive floor space.

 

[degrandprix]

Rec Room maybe?

Big bank incoming!

Not the 2nd floor space on the west side, just the NE corner down to Banquet. I'm not sure what's on the NW and W.

Sorry I cannot disclose at this time! But one of the guesses is correct.

 

[MacLac]

So the guesses are: Simon's, bank, restaurant or a Cineplex Rec Room....

Realllly hope it's not bank then

 

[archited]

I have to think that if it was to be the restaurant or the Rec Room that disclosure now would not be a problem. The bank and Simon's would want to keep things quiet until their City clearances have been achieved.

 

[cmd uw]

Not even worth betting but I will say it's a bank. Why, because they pay the rates and want prime frontage. Oh and there's that thing called 'covenant'.

This would destroy banquet…. Seems counterproductive.

I think only ECC has the square footage Simons needs.

It's still feasability at this point. More than anything the large thick roughly 400mm (16") concrete floors and the massive amounts of rebar is hampering our ability to place the amount of plumbing fixtures this tenant needs. We're coming up with ideas like raising the rooms requiring lots of plumbing so we can either used pre sleeved piping connections or find a spot where we can core down, or having chase spaces that could achieve the same thing without the diffuculty of having multiple levels. I don't think they planned on these spaces being anything more than retail and office, but the tenant is eager to make this space work being in such a high visiblity location.
