Is that one of those law groups who have commercials during Oil games? Where they look like an intimidating group of gangsters?

Building actually looks pretty nice though tbh. Despite the lame use ahha.

Not to be disrespectful but why do you consider it lame? It brings workers and people into that vast wasteland of that part of downtown.

Overly huge signage but whatever, way better than the cannabis shop.

Haha, I was just going to say the opposite. I though the building looked better before!

1 story building to house a generic law firm next to an LRT and a premier downtown park isn’t the most exciting land use. But beggars can’t be choosers I guess! I feel the same about Autograph offices on 106st. Just the reality of our underdeveloped Downtown

A ton of new 5 storey’s going up…..I think this is different than the one I posted a few posts up. Plus look across the street….more there as well….

If only we had thought ahead and had the LRT and this aligned…

Imperial Oil has been continuing with moving immense amounts of earth on the Texaco refinery/tank farm site. I have to stop for pics next time I'm out that way, it's almost shocking to see. I initially thought it was for reclamation efforts prior to building their renewable diesel plant, but that's being built within the Strathcona refinery.

So I'm not sure what they're up to. Maybe still reclamation efforts (lord knows there probably is substantial amounts required), but I've heard a rumor it's for another major rail terminal. Which would make sense, but IOL previously partnered with Pembina (or Kinder Morgan?) on that massive race track lookin' rail terminal off 17st. Nothing about it on AB Major Projects I can find.
