Don’t love the small rocks for landscaping…already all over the sidewalks. Perfect size to be easily kicked around, but also big enough to be a nuisance for walking and wheels on the sidewalk. Wish they went with a bigger rock or more plants instead. Maybe it’s just temporary until the spring?

Based on how many locations they have in total, I’d imagine this is a new one? But not positive sorry. Don’t they have like 9+ already?

There’s 5 according to Google
- St Albert
- Newcastle
- 104 St
- Sherwood Park
- Windermere

Oh yeah, then they have Kelowna and Calgary too. So 7 total I think.

And they franchise.

So I’m guessing this is an expansion?

Perhaps the best mixed-use building in Edmonton right now...like for real. I cannot think of anything that competes with this. Is there?

New signage looks sharp and draws attention away from the black stucco.

And I think it will look even more impressive with a twin across the street. Will be even more impactful and substantial.

And a high rise SE, north, and NE potentially.

It looks like one of the retail spaces facing the courtyard is now pending. Any guesses / ideas what it might be? I would personally love a poke bowl restaurant

Unsure, but I'd love to see a great food/cocktail bar in 700+800.

Imagine something like PIP.

 

[Didama]

Hopefully a few of these spots will also be filled with non-food offerings.

 

[IanO]

Perhaps an ideal spot for a Gravity Pope shoes or knife store?

I wonder if something like https://www.rockymountainsoap.com would make sense given its popularity in Canmore, Banff and Calgary.... and many who come here living just west of there.

Perhaps every retailer could abandon Manchester Square and move here...

Please?
